Music-Lovers Turn Out En Masse For Eric Harrison's Farewell Concert
By Thvl D. H. B. Lvnc
Erir Harrison, the RAF cadet who makes the piano keyboard do whatever he wills. Monday night presented a farewell concert the memory of which will remain in the hearts of local music lovers.
who turned out almost en masse to hear him.
Windows were filled and people stood in the street outside the Granada workshop to hear Harrison presenting what was undoubtedly the most exceptional concert of the year.
Though his first numbers were of a heavy nature, each was completely appreciated by the audience. Of particular feeling was his interpretation of Paganini’s Variations, which he played deftly despite the extremely difficult technical requirements* even including some of his ovn arrangements.
Chopin’s Ballade anu Debussy’s Minstrels were outstanding and in these the cadet showed a delightful skill in playing lighter music. The second and t-hird movements of the Sonata Apassionata were especially melodious and colorful in interpretation. Gluck’s Gavotte in A major vas a particularly rhythmic rendition.
The Minstrels were descriptive, tinted with a crazy lilting melody which helped to make ;he composition effectively imp» essionistic.
Perhaps the liveliest of his presentations was Borodin’s Scherzo —which interpreted hears the meaning of “joke.” This had the audience nodding their heads to the definite beat of the music.
Harrison rounded oft the latter part of his concert with modern
ience requests for more, expressed in long continued applause from within and without the building, Harrison offered Bach and Poulenc selections.
Consensus at the concert was that when Erie Harrison, who had assumed the status of campus character during his stay at Miami, leaves the University, he will carry with him the best wishes of Miami music lovers and the personal friends he made here, who will miss not only his musical talent but also his eccentric congeniality.
