Pianist Is Hit
With Audience
Guiomar Novaes, pianist, pre
sented a program of varied music
in her concert at Alemorial Audi
torium on October 9. Aladame No
vaes is considered the world’s great
est woman pianist by a great many
critics.
Novaes, whose career as a con
cert pianist had enjoyed tremen
dous success, presented a remark
able group of numbers. To begin
her program, she played the Johann
Sebastian Bach-Silotti “Prelude for
Organ” which was composed by the
man whose name is synonymous
with music.
A Sonata, “Les Adieux,” by Lud
wig van Beethoven who is univer
sally recognized as “the greatest
composer of all times,” the “Etudes
Symphoniques” which consists of
a theme provided by Baron von
Fricken, nine variations and a fi
nale composed by Robert A. Schu
mann concluded the first half of
Alme. Novaes’ concert.
Following the intermission, Alme.
Novaes entertained her attentive
audience with two beautiful num
bers by Claude Debussy. These
were “Soiree dans Grenade,” and
“Les C 0 11 i n e s d’Anacapri.”
“Polichinelle” which was written by
the emminent Brazilian composer,
Heitor Villa-Lobos, preceded what
was undoubtedly the most impres
sive of Alme. Novaes’ selections, a
group of six “Preludes” by the im
mortal Chopin. Chopin was the “one
composer who most deejily under
stood and appreciated the jiiano’s
possibilities as a solo instrument.”
Alme. Novaes’ triumph of the
evening was her encore. She play
ed “Alarch, Little Soldiers,” from
her late husband’s composition,
Scenas In]antis.
