Forty flying fingers and four pianos will be the center of at
tention Thursday night in the Coliseum.
Seated on a raised stage in the south half of the Coliseum, the
First Piano Quartet will present a program at 8 p.m. of originally
arranged classics.
The audience will be seated "in-the round" to obtain maximum
acoustics. Tickets for the quartet may be purchased Thursday
in the Union activities office until 5 p.m. and at the box-office
after 7 p.m.
Student price is 75 cents. Lower balcony tickets are $3; main
floor, $2; balcony, $1.50; and upper balcony, $1.
Quartet members are Adam Garner, Glauco D"Attili, Frank
Mittler and Edward Edson. Edwin Fadiman is manager and pro
ducer of the' quartet.
The group started its American career as a radio feature orig
inated by Fadiman. The First Piano Quartet is reputedly the first
of its kind in the world.
Quartet' members arrange classical music for their presenta
tions between broadcasts and concerts. The only four piano
composition known until the quartet originated was Bach's "Vivaldi
Concerto" which was written for violins and later arranged by
Bach for pianos.
When arranging music for the quartet, the members say they
try to combine three things:
1. To preserve the musical identity of the original composition;!
rules governing the groups. 2. To make the four pianos sound like one instrument but of.
Entries must contain the name greater scope, variety and tonal effect;
3. To cause every one of the four pianos to emerge as a musical
