SATURDAY MARCH 13, 19?6
Concert Go
by James Smith
Staff Writer
Maybe the weather was too
chilly. Maybe people had
forgot all about it...or, maybe
there was not enough advance
publicity about it.
Whatever the reasons, they
were not there...Mamom L.
Morrison's concert that is.
To say that the attendance
at the concert was bad is
probably the understatement
of the year...the attendance
was atrocious.
Due to a school game last
month, at Winston-Salem

had been rescheduled from
February 7 until March 9.
The attendance couldn't
have suffered any more than
as it did last night.
But, enough of that.
Regardless to the size of the
crowd, Morrison displayed
lots of musical technique and
showmanship*
A romanticist, Morrison
played music by three of the
world's greatest romantic
composers, Shumann, Chopin
and Rachmaninoff.

Morrison kept his small
audience in a trance.
In his opening selection,

he kept the audience enthralled
with the heavy crescendo in
the bass to the series of legato
runs.
Often throughout the selection,
the tempo of the music
became somewhat syncopated.
Morrison?changed?the^
tempo a little in his next
selection and gave the
audience a more melodic,
soothing piece of music. In the
"Romance" also by Shumann,
it was like sitting on the edge
of a bank and listening to a
"babbling brook."
Perhaps the one selection
this reviewer was not quite
impressed with was his
interpretation of Shumann's
44 Aufschwung" from the
Phantasiestucke, Opus 12.
