Bauer Recital Shows Classics Pianist Gives Recital to De light Large Assemblage of Fremont Musical People. Harold Bauer, noted pianist, pre sented a recital in Fremont Friday evening under the auspices of Mid land college. ^Tlie large auditorium of Clemmons hall was well filled with an enthusiastic audience, which in cluded musicians from Lincoln. Sew ard and Omaha. Several auto parties which had been planned were aban doned owing to the Inclement weath er. Mr. Bauer played a very conserv ative classical program, an orthodox sort of program, entirely made up of classical numbers. In fact. It was the typical great artist program, with no new number on It. But It Includ ed many fine classics, which are tlie backbone of musical literature, num bers that are played and studied and which should be known by the musi cal public and known well. Mr. Bauer played after the cus tomary Bauer style, with the fascinat ing tracery of runs, the sonorous ring of chords and the underlying authori ty of musical taste that one expects from an artist of his rank. Mr. Bauer lias much to say In a musical way. and has the ability to transmit the beauties he finds in the different numbers to his hearers. The program opened with "Partita in B flat” by Bach, transcribed from the harpsichord by Mr. Bauer. The quaint old style of the original is kept, and there was a clarity and beauty of tone in the Interpretation which gave each dance a new vl« tality. "Sonata Apoassionata.” by Beetho ven was presented with much breadth and variety of tone color, and with an excellently built climax in the finale allegro. "Fapillons" by Sehuman, and the "Scherzo in C sharp minor” by Chopin again dis played the varied resources of the artist, the full resonance of his sus tained work and the delicacy of con trolled but fleeting passages. “Etude en Forme de Valse” by Saint Saens, is a number that never loses its charm, and under the Bauer touch and the Bauer musicianship, It was given a brilliant and gloriously effective In terpretation. Mr. Bauer responded to several encores, playing, among others, the Chopin Minute Waltz and "Scherzo Capprlccio" by Mendelssohn. Mr. Bauer Is a fine musician, and he played his program wonderfully well Friday evening. Still, he ought to by this time, for he has been play ing these same numbers ever since the present writer has been old enough to attend concerts. H. M. R. Store Burglars Routed.
