Show Performance Here By Eugene Gash Given High Rating By W51 T. MORRIS, JR. To Dixie college in general and Mrs. Janice Merrill, head of the piano department in particular, this expression of appreciation is addressed. It is occasioned by the recent presentation of Eugene Gash, Negro pianist. To merely state that it was a finished, brilliant bril-liant and classical performance would be to repeat the universal reaction of his sympathetic audience. audi-ence. In addition to that, the writer wishes to highlight a few of the features which might be styled "bonuses". A person absolutely deaf would have greatly enjoyed the performance, merely from a study of one of the most extraordinary extra-ordinary things in creation, viz. the human hand. It is seldom that any member developed to such a superlative degree of execution exe-cution should not rob some other; but in this instance there was evident a wonderful balance between be-tween the right and the left hand. And incidentally, those hands which belonged to a member of the colored race were graceful and white as those of the Caucasian race. Incidentally, also, it will be remembered that . many of the great painters have further glorified glori-fied their art through their ability to reproduce not only the form, but the beauty and individuality of the human hand. |
