Composer
Piston To
visit_'U'
Walter Piston, whose new piano
quartet will be given its world pre-
miere at the University next Tues-
day, will be here for the perform-
ance, the School of Music has
announced.
The concert will be given at 8
p.m. Tuesday in the Rackham Lec-
ture Hall. It is open to the public
without charge.
* * *
PROF. JOSEPH BRINKMAN,
who will join the Stanley Quartet
and% play the piano part of the
work, said that Piston's decision to
attend the premiere was "a pleas-
ant surprise to the music school
faculty."
Piston, who is on vacation and.
out of reach, did not say when
he would come and how long he
would stay.
He was commissioned by the
University to write his new work
and has dedicated it to the Stan-
ley Quartet and Prof. Brinkman.
* * *
PISTON is Naumburg Profes-
sor of Music at Harvard and has
composed much symphonic and
chamber music. Some of his com-
positions, such as the suite from
"The Incredible Flutist," have be-
come part of the standard reper-
toire.
He wrote that he preferred
audiences to listen to the new
quintet without being burdened
with technical analysis. He was
interested in clarity, "expres-
siveness and logical development
of melodic lines."
Prof. Brinkman added that the
three movements are quite ortho-
dox in structure and that any un-
usual aspects are due to rhythm
and harmony.
