MUSIC REVIEW uii. i Mrs. King Brings Patrons To Feet By MAYBELLE SPECKMANN SAN FRANCISCO Contrary to the usual order in the first two numbers in last i San Francisco Symphony program conducted by Maestro Josef Krips at the Op-! era House took precedence in interest over the major concluding ork. Symphony No. 3, In fact, the standing ovation came at the end of the opening Lincoln by Copland.

The reverse order of inter-; est was due to the memorable performance as narrator in the Copland portrait by Coretta Scott King and to the successful 1 world premiere of Roger Concerto for Viola and chestra. This was dedicated to and played by Rolf Persinger, principal violist of the orchestra. Mrs. King did not receive the ovation merely out of respect for her as widow' of Martin Luther King Jr. and a remarkable person in her own right, but for the moving quality of her reading.

A truly beautiful woman. she read the lines in a rich, resonant voice with perfect enunciation of the words and deep sincerity in conveying he i meaning. Part of the appeal, too, came from the relevance to the current scene in the United States of such words as, dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate! to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act Ingenious programming was the great Beethoven Eroica, which heralded a new era, an ending to the concert that was complementary to the beginning.

Krips and the orchestra performed the musical part of the portrait in a way that punctuated and gave more emotional significance to the work. The Viola Concerto by Nixon, a San Francisco State College professor and colleague of Persinger, was a totally captivating work which should be a welcome addition to the rather meager viola solo repertoire. The first one composed in the United States in the last 15 years, it was for me a revelation that it is possible to write an exquisitely melodious and sensuously beautiful piece within a fairly modern sounding American idiom.

contemporary works, it is definitely lyrical, and the orchestration and rhythmic patterns are intriguing. Persinger's playing was notable for great technical agility, sensitive phrasing and especially for gorgeous tone ranging from a glowing low register to notes in the high register as sweet and limpid as those of a violin. Krips and the orchestra did full justice to the score. At its conclusion the composer was called on stage and received acclaim. The reading of the Beethoven Erioca was good and very enjoyable, but somehow did not achieve the heroic proportions of its title.

At times Krips seemed to have to work very hard to achieve the response he wanted.
