Negro Piano Prodigy# 3#
Plays Bach# Mozart
Chicago, 111.—Margaret Rozar
ian Harris, 3, made her debut
Sunday as a classical pianist and
drew prolonged applause from
her audience.
The tiny Negro girl, her favor
ite doll perched in a chair next
to her piano, played 14 serious
selections from the works of Bach
Schubert, Tschaikowsky, Mozart,
Brahms and other composers.
Just three weeks short of her
fourth birthday and wearing a
white satin dress with a pink
ribbon in her hair, Margaret ap
peared before an audience of
more than one hundred persons
in the Cary Temple Auditorium.
She bowed from the waist as
she calmly looked over the audi
ence before seating herself at the
piano, equipped with raised ped
als for her little legs. |
She plunked a few keys, then
swung into Bach’s minuet. Play
ing entirely from memory, she
followed “The Magic Flute” by
Mozart.
She played Tschaikowsk’s
“Song of Russia” to introduce
the second half of her recital. In
the midst of “Ave Maria,” she
yawned audibly but never missed
a note.
She received a rousing ovation
at the end of her recital. Then
she picked up her doll and ran
to her mother.
Margaret showed a spark of
temperament a few hours before
her debut. She wasn’t nervous
about the recital but was a little
irritated because her mother
wouldn’t let her play with the
doll.
She and the doll, Rozarian,
were dressed alike for the con- '
cert. Her mother, Mrs. William
Harris, said she didn’t want her
daughter to get the doll “mussed.”
“She just won’t play without
Rozarian,” Mrs. Harris said. “SI—
never does.”
