Mr. Arthur Whiting will give his last Exposition tomorrow night in the John Knowles Paine Concert Hall of the Music building at 8.15. This concert, as usual, will be open without charge for admission to officers and students of the Unversity. Tickets may be purchased by the public for $1.00 entitling them to seats in the gallery, at Amee Brothers' bookstore. Women will not be admitted to seats on the floor. Professor W. R. Spalding '87, in commenting on this concert says, "Mr. Whiting's last Exposition will give music lovers an excellent opportunity to become acquainted with a broad range of chamber music, since the program includes one of the most stirring and truly inspiring string quartets of Haydn, the founder of idiomatic writing for four solo string instruments, and a trio for three strings by Koldaly, one of the modern Hungarian composers.
Likes Hungarian Style
"There is also a composition by Brahms for three strings and pianoforte," he continued, "which is of peculiar interest, not only because it presents in an eloquent fashion some of Brahms' most delightful melodies and rhythms, but because the finale is a Rondo based on Hungarian gypsy music, a form of folk-music with which Brahms, from his long residence in Vienna, became thoroughly familiar, and which he often incorporated in his works."
The Lenox String Quartet, which performs at this concert, is one of the best of modern organizations, according to Professor Spalding, who declared it was founded and developed by Mr. F. S. Collidge. "Of Mr. Whiting's skill as a pianist," concluded Professor Spalding, "no culogistic words are necessary."
