Krahma, he explained, waa a muslclun of all time not a cold, intellectual north country tiernmn who wrote mimic for other frigid, unemotional ('ernians. The Frenc like anyone else, would learn to like liiiibms's music If they only would listen to It, Tin would rind something of themselves in It like they do In the music of their countrymen. To show the vailed appeal which Hruhms's muslo has, and which the composer himself had when he was alive, Casadesus told a story recounted to him by one of his friends, another French pianist now 60 yeurs old. Sometime last ccntuny, when the now elderly musician had just turned 18. he heard Brahma perform his own piano concerto In B-flat at Zurich Hhe one which Casadesus will play here).

In fact he heard the composer twice, on successive nights. At his seonnd performance hrahms played the concerto entirely In a different manner than he had done at his first performance. When he questioned the "Malt re" why both renditions could be so different, Hrnhms replied that, had he been asked to play It a third time, he probably would have made It sound st til different, Though he was reared on Brahms, Beethoven, and Schumann, Cassde-sus doesn't devote his whole time to classical music. He spoke glowingly yesterday of Maurice Havel, the composer of the world-famous "Bolero," who died several weeks ago In France. Our curiosity prompted us to ask him If he had ever known Ravel Intimately.
