Russian Music Played

last night with tho result that all the
so-i'alled free energy was captured and
then unleashed at the final concert of
the Schmidt String Quartet In Wlther
spoon Hall. Despite several counter-attractions
a large audience paid Its final
regards of the season to this splendid
organization which has been doing to
much to keep nllve the best musical
tradltioni in Philadelphia
Offhand, It is difficult to recall a
chamber-music program In which energy
Is so dominant a feature as that given
last night, and the four musicians, Emll
F. Schmidt, first violin ; Louis Angeloty,
second violin , Emll Hahl, xlola. and Wil

Dohnanyl's D flat major quarter Is
like an echo of Cesar FTanck's D minor

so maruea a trait or tno ueigian
master's great work. The whole quartet,
too, has the same mystical quality, only
the combat Is more vigorous, physlcallv.
There ls little of the restraint which
makes Francks's chef d'oeuvre so power
ful. The opening theme of the final an!-m.-itn
is one of the most heroic challenge

trio, in the spirit of the third act of
"Boris Goudonoff." In the scherzo, here
called presto acciacato.
The three Tlutslan numbers contribut
ed their share to the force and lgor of
the concert, while Binding's piano quintet
completed the program In the fullest
meaning of the word. Energy and repose
alternated effectively. Miss Kthelyn
Dryden played the piano part and Im
mediately gave- a greatex feellnir of In
dividuality than any of the other new
pianists heard recently. There is un
doubted character to her touch and keen
Insight In her Interpretation. Miss Dry
den formed an Integral part of the en
semble where there was no tall for the
piano to dominate, while In the solo
passages she performed with ease and
authority.
