Newman, interna tionally known as a pianist, author and teacher, will be presented to night at 8 p.m. in Hill Hall by Les Petites Musicales. The recital of 27 Etudes by Chopin is being presented in celebration of the sesquicentennial of Chopin's birth. Although the program only lasts about an hour, the complete score is rarely performed because of the difficulty in mastery of the Etudes i.nd because of the artist's endur ance problem. The program, how ever, does have much variety and many of the Etudes are familiar. Chopin, the great Polish-French pianist and composer, was born near Warsaw on March 1, 1810, and died in Paris, in his adopted France, at the age of 39. He began to write Etudes when, 19-years-old, publishing his first set of 12, Opus 10, in 1833. The second group, Opus 25, was published in 1337, and three others in 1840. Chopin brought the Etude form to a peak as he did the mazurka, noc turne, polonaise and certain other romantic types. His Etudes in p;4 ticubr are favored by practicir pianists. Chopin wrote these works dur ing the heyday of the etude. In them he created not only a whole new vocabulary of imaginative piano figurations and techiucal problems, but he employs a dif ferent one in each piece. Dr. Newman has redistributed the order of the Etudes in his recital, therefore achieving a full variety and contrast between works that are slow, fast, dramatic, gentle, stormy and gay. At least ei,ght othf-r pianists here and abroad are known to have played all the Chopin Etudes in a single recital. Besides the artistry and general technical dexterity that these Etudes presuppose, there are special prob lems during wide stretches of en durance in 'nearly every work. However, the greater problem cf endurance raised by playing all the Etudes in one recital is another aspect improved by redistributing their order. Foof Tapping Rehearsals By ED RINER The sedate Playmakers Theater has been rocking for the last few nights. Dorm residents and other people in the area have been a little sur prised to hear the pounding of a piano and voices singing "Mali Hari" in the theatre. Usually dramatic shows and comedies are produced in the sntall theater, but the recent suuiids from the open doors of the theatre have been more of the musical comedy variety. Realiz'ng the theater is almost too small for a musical, this reporter and other passers-by dropped in to see who was making all the noise. The answer came from Glenn Ver non who1 was tapping his foot in time with the music. These were rehearsals for the Student Theater Workshop produc tion of "Bad Companions," a mo s:cal review to be given this after noon at 4 in the theater. While there v.e saw Sally Pullen rehearsing "Little Mary Sunshine" with a chorus of six men and Susie Cordon singing "Mati Hari" with a chorus of five women. According to Vernon, the produc tion is being done to give interested students a chance to learn and do more about theater work in addition to dramatic classes and work id Playmaker productions. However, the StuSent Theater Workshop is open to any student on campus, not just drama majors, he said.
