The concert of the Musical Club in the Fogg Lecture Room last night was a marked success. Although illness prevented Mr. J. S. Codman '90 from taking part, F. H. Birch 1L. took his place at very short notice and sang "Sunset," by D. Buck, and "Love Me if I Live," by Arthur Foote '74. Mr. Birch's unusually powerful voice would have apeared to better advantage in a larger hall. The movement from the Brahms Sonata for piano and violin was well rendered by G. R. Jones '05 and A. W. Locke '05, and showed the rich tone of the former to full advantage. The playing of L. Mayer '05 in the Romanza, by P. L. Atherton '93 and the Tschaikovsky Humoreske was characterized by sympathetic interpretation rather than by unusual tonal qualities. The Arensky trio for piano, violin and cello, a very difficult piece, was exceptionally well performed by G. R. Jones '05, P. M. Brown '02 and A. W. Locke '05.
By far the best feature of the program was the playing of L. B. Hall '05, who combined a remarkable technique with a very fine interpretation. His phrasing and shading were especially noteworthy and appeared at their best in the Ballade in A flat. As encore he gave Grondahl's Serenade and Chopin's prelude in C. minor.
