2 is to all seeming the expression of the emotions such as a girl of you th might experience yet only the skilled musician , who has given years to the study of the great masters , would interpeet their work after the fashion of Miss Allan . Her choice of themes reveals her own love of the pure and the sublime in art , and it might be said in all seriousness that such dancing as she has given here is inspiring in the noblest sense of the word , for it isx has the tragedy of the great instaed of the belodrama of the little , the joy of the divine , as distinct from the pleasure of the senses . " Miss Allan appears with the Cherniavskys next Friday . The plan is at Nicholson's . Toowoomba Chronicle November 17 1914 In connection with the return visit of the Cherniavsky Trio to New Zealand , it is undoubtedly of advantage to know the views of the leading musical critics as , for example that of the Lyttelton Times ( six years ago ) The Cherniavsky brothers do not lend themselves to criticism , for the simple reason that superlatives of praise are not graceful . New Zealand audiences have beeen taught by experience not to take genius on trust , but there can be no question about the position of the Cherniavskys in the musical wordd . Each would stand on a pinnacle of assured fame were they grown men with power fully developed , yet they are but boys . The most wonderful of the three is Mischel , not that he eclipses his brothers in brilliance of performance but that with only 12 years of life to his credit , he stands as their equal . He has a command of technique th = at XX could not be assured by 23 years of unceasing effort . There are not many great ' cellists , but this small boy is one of them . Jan , aged 14 , is the pianist and he again forces his critics to take the dangerous road that is paved with su erlatives and leads to futility . Leo is the eldest of the three , being 17 . Executive difficulties manished in his hands , he did not deviate from the intention of one note , and he made the Tchykowsky Concerto joy to the very last number of theaudience . Only a violinist worthy of a place very high on the ladder of fame could have done that . “ As this critique was written six years ago and since then the Cherniavskys have made wonderful progress , it goes without saying that they will receive an enthusiastic reception when they appear here with Maud Allan on Friday November 20 的 UBID November 19 1918 Publicity blurb referring to the Melbourne " AGE " of June 22 . The Cherniavsky Trio all gave convincing proof of their musicianship . Mischel the cellist chose for his solo a beautifu ; Cantabile by Cui , Popper's Arlequin and ( as an encore ) Popper's Papillon and The Broken Melody ( Van Bieene ) . Leo the violinist played a spirited performance of Pagannini's Violin Concerto No. 2 in D major , the well written cadenze being from the artist's own pen .
