MUSIC
Serkin: Sparked with Busoni;
Dynamic Throuoh Beethoven
Across Campus
By JEFFREY.K. CHASE
Program
Schubert-Sonata in A major
(Op. posth.)
Busoni-Toccata: Preludio;
Fantasia, Ciacona
Busoni-Berceuse
Beethoven-Sonata in C
minor,'IOp. III
"I don't like my music intellec-
tual," exclaimed one lady after
the Rudolf Serkin concert in Hill
Aud. last evening. "I just like to
be lulled by sweet, emotional
sounds."
This lady, unfortunately, must
have been disappointed with Mr.
Serkin's playing, because he cer-
tainly does not dwell on tonal
caress. Rather, he aims to drive
the notes to reveal their place in
the meaning of the music, which,
after all, is an intellectual matter
of recreating its form through its
content of harmony, rhythm, tex-
ture, color, and melody. And with
Mr. Serkin especially, the playing
is so intense that each note is
attacked with a defining bite.
With the Schubert sonata Serk-
in was not at his best: the play-
ing, particularly in the first move-
ment, was too ponderous and un-
comfortable, and the overall grace
of the Schubertian line suffered
from an absence of cantabile play-
ing. The climactic portions in the
second movement afforded the
best moments here.
Not until the Fantasia section
of the Toccata did the fire of the
man show through to spark the
music. The Busoni works, per-
formed in commemoration of the
100th anniversary of their com-
poser's birth, are not great music,
but certainly make for pleasant
listening. The contrasting moods
of the impetuous Toccata and lul-
laby-like Berceuse showed good
programming. During the Toccata,
needed to get in all the notes; in
the Berceuse, Serkin achieved a
lovely effect by holding down for
long stretches the sustaining pedal
to suggest an atmosphere of
ethereal repose.
Because Serkin has somehow
been labeled a foremost interpre-
ter of Beethoven's music, those
who sat through the more unfa-
miliar Schubert and Busoni works
with strained tolerance perked up
their ears to hear what the pianist
had to say in the Op. 111. Making
the most of sudden dynamic con-
trasts, of staccato vs legato at-
tacks, and imbuing the music with
rhythmic drive, Serkin said a lot.
The loud, full, percussive chords,
which had little place in the Schu-
bert, and the singing, cantabile
playing, which was missed in the
Schubert, both found their proper
perspective in the Beethoven son-
ata. Serkin again revealed his af-
finity for the music of that com-
