Page 2. Menuhin, Concert Virtuoso, Plays Varied Recital Program BY SAM WARREN. When Yehudi Menuhin opens the Lincoln Symphony Orchestra recital series tomorrow at 8:30 p. m. in the coliseum, he will offer a wide range of selections which concert-goers are accustomed to expect from this 28 year old virtuoso. Especially noteworthy is the fact that Menuhin has pro grammed Mendelssohn's violin concerto, conventionally perform ed only with symphony orchestra accompaniment. Transcribed for piano, the orchestra part will be played by Menuhin's pianist. However, the unusual is more the rule for Yehudi Menuhin than the usual. Continually overstep ping concert tradition, Mr. Menu hin has in the past performed a recital consisting of three com plete concertos, when other artists would give only one at a single performance. Moreover, the native of New York has not been satis fied to play generally-accepted editions of larger works. Instead he has done considerable research seeking out the original scores. The balance of the program in cludes a sonata of the Italian style, a tone-poem by a French contem porary of Cesar Frank, melodies of violinist-composer Kreisler, and gypsy refrains of the Spaniard, Sarasate. Student tickets may be pur chased for $5 at the School of See MENUHIN, Page 2. CORN COBS Regular meeting of the Corn Cobs will be held tonight at 5 p.m. instead of the usual time of 7:30.
