Jan Smeterlin, eminent Polish pianist, will present an all-Chopin program at Jordan Hall Sunday afternoon, December 5, at 3:30 o'clock. His choice of auditorium is a wise one, for the delicacy of Chopin's music can be much better appreciated in a small room than in the vastnesses of Symphony Hall.

The program, to be played on a Steinway piano, will consist of the Barcarolle, opus 60; three mazurkas; Scherzo, opus 54; Sonata, opus 58 in B minor; four etudes; and Scherzo, opus 31.

Smeterlin was born in Bielsko, Poland, in 1892. At the age of eight he was invited to play a Beethoven concerto with the local orchestra. Despite parental opposition he took up music as a career and studied under Godowsky.

After the War he began his career as a concert pianist in Europe and soon became an outstanding figure in the musical circles of Paris, London, Berlin, and Madrid, as well as The Hague and Scandinavia. He first came here in the fall of 1930 and has made annual tours since.

Smeterlin is recognized as one of the most brilliant interpreters of Chopin.

Symphony Concert

Dr. Koussevitsky has announced for the eighth pair of concerts by the Boston Symphony Orchestra next Friday afternoon and Saturday evening, the Third Symphony by Edward Burlingame Hill '94, a new score which is to be heard for the first time and performed from the manuscript.

This Symphony in G major, opus 41, is divided into three movements: (1) Allegro grazioso ma con brio (2) Molto moderato ma non troppo lente (3) Allegro energico.

On the same program Emma Boynet, French pianist who appeared with the Boston Symphony two years ago, will be the soloist in the Concerto of Mozart in C Major (Kochel 467). The concert will open with Haydn's Symphony in G major, No. 88, and close with Bach's Organ Passacaglia, as transcribed for orchestra by Ottorino Respighi.
