ler. The Concerto by Kreisler that

music does not employ the piano
as an accompanying instrument,
but gives it an intricate part with
the violin.

vanced piano’ at Salem College, is
a graduate of Julliard School of
Music. He has studied with Ru
dolf Serkin in Switzerland, Mariz

aunt that the plan had been ef
fective here several years ago.
