The Ciompi String Quartet will perform Saturday at 8 p.m. Tickets are $25 for adults and $5 for students. The concert is being brought to town by the Lincoln Friends of Chamber Music. Joe Kraus, president of the Lincoln Friends of Chamber Music, said the group, which began in 1965 as a music buying cooperative, focused on bringing talent from out of town. The Ciompi String Quartet is in residence at Duke University in Durham, N.C. A string quartet involves two violins, a viola and a cello, and according to Kraus, the music involves a small, detailed sound. “There is lots of intricacy in chamber music," Kraus said. “Listening to it involves listening to the interactions between the players.” In one of the pieces, Paul Schoenfield’s "Tales from Chelm,” the quartet’s four mem bers, Eric Pritchard, Hsiao-mei Ku, Jonathan Bagg and Fred Raimi, will perform Jewish folk lore. “Chelm is a fictitious town in Eastern Europe noted for the fact that almost every member of its population is a fool,” said Jonathan Bagg in the show’s pro duction notes. “Characteristic of Chelmites, and particularly its sages, is the manner in which wacky and complicated solu tions can be concocted for the simplest of predicaments.” The Lincoln Friends of Chamber Music tries to bring between four and five concerts to Lincoln each year, and nearly all of the concerts are at the Sheldon Art Gallery “We occasionally have con certs at Kimball Hall, but our patrons prefer the Sheldon,” Kraus said. “It is smaller and bet ter suited to the music. “Chamber music has a small sound that can get lost in a large hall, and the Sheldon allows the performers to interact with the audience,” he said. P.O. Pears brings up rear in wing survey WIN6Sfrompage5 cot sauce. The original sauce has a strong consistency, and the taste is robust and spicy. The size is a little smaller than an average wing should be, but the price is competitive. (12 wings for $5.25, double for $8.25 plus tax.) Bleachers -kick 5601S. 56th St Bleachers has a typical range of sauces from barbecue to honey dijon. The traditional fla vor of nasty is heavy in tabasco, hot and runny. There is a lot of meat on the wings, but it is chewy and dry. It tasted like a chicken breast. The size is average (half order for $4.95, four dozen for $13.95 plus tax).

The size was average with typical presentation of tons of napkins and two plates (12 wings-$4.25,24 for $6.99 plus tax). PO Pears ★ 322 8 9th St PO Pears is known for its fun atmosphere, hamburgers and entertainment, but its wings have a lot to be desired. Not only do they come as whole chicken wings, not cut at the elbow, but the taste of the sauce is only skin deep, and what you are left with is a greasy rendition of grandma’s fried chicken. The uncircumcised wings do have their advantage though, as in more bang for your buck, enough to feed a starving den of rats (10 for $5.79, 25 bucket for $10.99, a 50 bucket for $19.99 plus tax). Lincoln has a wing for every taste and a range of establish ments in which to enjoy them. We only wish that we could have gone to every one of them. Stump finds job trying, worthy STUMP from Daae 5 asked him if he knew of any con temporary pieces he might want to translate. He got the ball rolling with Marie Redonnet's “Nevermore” and hasn't stopped since. To take on a project, Stump must first submit a sample of the proposed translation to be reviewed by two other transla tors, Randolph said. Then a board of directors will review the other translator’s comments and decide if the project will be completed, she said. Stump meticulously tpes to complete each project “I revise obsessively,” he said. “Over the course of many of revi sions, it is possible to approach what the original book is. It’s like the speed of light. You can get close to it, but you can never quite reach it. “On the whole, I feel that I’ve never had a translation pub lished that wasn’t, to one extent or another, a sharp and accurate reading of the book in question.” Stump said he always tried to meet with the authors, if they were still alive, and discuss the In the end, no sentence is ever expressed perfectly. You can do very well, but there is probably always something more that can be done to a sentence to make it better. At some point you say. ‘if I keep messing with it, Ym only going to make it worse.m Jordan Stump UNL professor works with them. “When I ask ‘What do you mean by X?' very often they don’t remember the phrase, and 60 percent of the time they look at it and say, ‘I'm not really sure what that’s supposed to mean.’” Stump said. “I'm reading the piece in a way that the author has never read it. “At times I feel like I know the piece better than the author because it might have been a few years since they looked at it “I don't know, as a translator, whether I’m supposed to correct factual mistakes. I often find myself dithering over whether I should write, ‘he’s’ or ‘he has.' It makes a difference.” Stump said finding the per feet translation for severa phrases, throughout his career had kept him searching for th< correct words at times for week and even months. “In the end, no sentence ii ever expressed perfectly,” h< said. “You can do very well, bu there is probably always some thing more that can be done to s sentence to make it better. A some point you say ‘if I keej messing with it, I'm only going tc make it worse.’” Ladette said she respectec Stump's dedication to taking dif ficult projects, especially trans lations of contemporary FrencI minimalist and avant-gard< writers who loosely play wit! language and structure. One look at “On the Ceiling’ will illustrate the difficult subjec matter Stump faces. Many sen tences in the book cover a ful page or more, involving complex ideas and phrasing. Stump, however, couldn’t like his job more, especially the par that entails meeting famous French writers. “To find yourself in the pres ence, not just of somebody who’s written a book that you admire but somebody who has genuine ly shaped the direction of litera ture, it’s an astonishing dream,’ Stump said. Stump said he and Chevillarc had become friends. “Chevillard once told me ‘There are only three people ir the world who read my books: Himself, me as another, and he doesn't know who the third is,’ Stump said.
