LITTLE SYMPHONY DELIGHTS AUDIENCE bt raor. max daehler. MOUNT VERNON The feature of Friday nights concert of the Cornell May Festival was the appearance of a small orchestra numbering some fifteen musicians, a new idea in the history of Cornells festivals.

It offered a suitable and delightful preparation for the main event of the festival, which was to follow, the arrival of the Chicago Symphony orchestra. Frank Mannheimer, who played the solo part in a Mozart piano concerto, added another note of distinction to the unusual program. Turning to the chamber music of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries is perhaps the most natural thing to do when selecting music for a small orchestra, since it was invariably meant for just such a combination. So the first half of Fridays program was devoted to this type of composition. Hans Lange, assistant! conductor of the Chicago Symphony orchestra, led the group in its delightful ensemble.

Especially eloquent and expressive were two or three of the Fantasies by Purcell as well as the slow movement of the Haydn symphony. The novelty entitled Workout for Small Orchestra, with which the concert closed, proved to.be attractive and entertaining. Of special Interest was the Mozart piano concerto in minor. Unmistakably it is the forerunner of the more famous Beethoven concerto in the same key, but is fine enough to attract for its own merits. Mr.

Mannheimer gave it a polished and muslcianly performance. The scintillating qualities of his touch and of his style were even more apparent in the two encores with which he responded to the hearty applause. low Dttlr Frets photo. Popular tunes as, well as contest selections are no mystery for these solo clarinetists at the state music festival at Iowa City.
