Performer, accompanist, and an audience of 400 people were all present at Sanders Theatre last night, but one important ingredient in a recital was conspicuous by its absence--the piano.
After the large audience that had come to hear Paul Hindemith, viola, and Jesus Sanroma, piano, had fidgeted for half an hour before an empty stage, Walter H. Piston, Jr., '24, assistant professor of Music, announced that Hindemith would play the first number without benefit of piano accompaniment.
"The piano's on its way," he said.
When the piece was finished, Piston was forced to admit that the Piano must have gone badly astray, and the audience adjourned en masse to Paine Hall for the rest of the recital.
