Long Hair
and
Crew Cuts
By Jean Rotton
' We ("the editorial me") jus.t
came across the program of a con
cert which we saw in Omaha a
rouole of weeks ago, and about
which we have been meaning to
sneak.
It was the highly acclaimed two
piano recital of Vitya Vronsky and
Victor Babin, "high precision" art
ists of the first degree. Remark
able enough it is to attain syn
chronization of one mind and two
hands, let alone two minds and
four hands. That Vronsky and
Babin can do this, wag shown most
satisfactorily in the fugue from
Bach's Sonata in c minor. (Have
you ever tried putting two hands
together in a Bach fugue?) We
sat and marveled.
Such playing, however, neces
sarily is what might be called
"contact-playing, which means
some sacrifice of interpretative
depth and power. One continues
to marvel, throughout the pro
gram, at the -accurate timing of
the two performers, but begins, as
the numbers progress, to weary of
"show" music. ,
Form fciew.
Undoubtedly, part of this short
coming is due. to the newness of
the two-piano form as a medium
of expression.' 'As more piano
teams reach the top ranks as per
formers, "meatier" and more two
niano literature - will be written
and transcribed. Which, inciden
tally, may prove an excellent thing
from the standpoint of the piano's
greatest drawback, the fact that
from the instant a note is struck
on that instrument, it diminishes
in volume and cannot be sustained
as it can on the organ and violin,
for example.
And by the way, don't forget
such musical events as "The Mes
siah" on this coming Sunday aft
ernoon, the Boston Symphony
broadcast on Saturday evenings at
7:30 (we just bet you'll be listen
ing to it), the Philharmonic at
2:00 on Sundays, and Stokowski's
svmDhony concert at 4:00 the
same afternoon.'
And then, if - you aren't com
pletely saturated with "the great
est of the arts," you might try
Bennv Goodman at 10:15 or

Henry Scott ...
Pianist To Interpret Music
Humorously in Union Series
Henry Scott, pianist - humorist,
whose steady progress as piano
interpreter culminated in a suc
cessful concert at Town Hall, New
York this past season, will display
his widely acclaimed talents in a
Uni-Union series program, Sunday
evening at 8:00 in the Union ball
room. Concert satires, Scott's new
form of piano interpretation based
on the premis that humor has a
place in the concert hall just as
much as one the stage, will form
the high-point on the program.
During his concert satires Scott
employs a knowledge of acting to
underline the satiric points he jabs
at his fellow artists.
Gives Impersonation.
Sections of his program will be
devoted to serious classics and
popular styles in modern piano
playing, on which subject he is
considered an authority. For
swing fans he gives his conception
of the styles of Bob Zurke, Teddy
Wilson, Vincent Lopez, Count
Basie and Eddie Duchin, not to
mention rumbas, tangoes, boogi
woogie, and arrangements of his
own.
An orange, a balloon, a candle,
a pair of heavy mittens, a wigand
a piano are the "Props" which
make possible the concert satire
section of the entertainment . and
the program contains such titles
as "Bach Goes the Weasel,"
"Chopin in the Citrus Belt," and
the "Absent-minded Virtuoso." The
classic portion makes a quick tour
from Sarlatti to Liszt with "Re
marks" thrown in.
