He began with the Pugnani-Kreisler "Prelude e Allegro," plunging into it with vigor, and playing with breadth and power. It was boldly set forth, and the audience seemed to appreciate fully the fine work. Then came that exquisitely ethereal .. Melodie" by Gluck, and the "Waltz in E Minor" by Brahms, arranged by Mr. Gordon. These had the mellow, sustained melodies played in a way that couldn't fail to stir an audience. His first group closed with Beethoven's more lively "Contredance." Harold Van Horne gave Mr. Gordon excellent support at the piano, for he has the talent to niake the accompaniment vital yet not too obtrusive. The second group dodged the conventional, for it began with Gardner's "From the Rockies," a notable parf' of which was the last bit where the melody is played in harmonics. Mr. Gordon is one of the very few violinists who know how to produce flute-like harmonics gracefully. A novelty, 14 Mosquitoes," by Fairchild, foflowed, so cleverly executed that Mr. Gordon was in danger of being swatted. The piece jabs and sings with annoying acuteness. Sowerby's .~jSlow and Sentimental," and Gordon's 'arrangement of Glazounow's "Caprice," completed the second group. The latter was done mainly pizzicati and with harmonics. As an encore he offered Gounod's . "Ave Maria," played with great richness and feeling. Ravel was the composer of "Pavane Pour une Infante Defunte" in the third group, worked out by Mr. Gordon in a restrained manner that fitted the idea. In 41 Waves at Play," by Grasse, he showed what his exceptionally nimble fingers could do, and in Debussy's "La Fille aux Cheveux de Lin" he showed what his musical background could contribute to that charming composition. The Debussy was remarkably an ordinary grapefruit, after a Just a quiet machine with all kl delicate.
