The concert coming to you from Symphony Hall will continue with Hungarian dance number one in G minor. Brahms wrote four sets of Hungarian dances for piano for hands. There were 21 and all these were given no opus number however. Mr. Feedler is making strange signals we don't know quite when he's ready sometimes just like quicksilver. Here we go. The Brahms for Hungarian dance in G minor before my Arthur Feedler in the Boston

Pops. To bring the first part of the concert will close the 1812 overture by Peter Illitz Shikovsky. The overture was written in 1880 when Shikovsky was 40. He never mentioned the work without apologizing for it stating more than once that it was noisy without much artistic value and written without much warmth or enthusiasm certainly has been received enthusiastically in warmly sense. It was immense and media popularity never failed to disturb Shikovsky and I think

Mr. Feedler now seems to be ready. A team's now overture by Shikovsky.

The very active man you saw making the cannon shot on the large drum and playing the bells with Charles Smith and he'll be seeing later in a solo performance. Once again here's Arthur Feedler and as usual Mr. Feedler asked the orchestra to rise with him. The first part of this full-length Boston Pops concert with Arthur Feedler conducting is now completed. The next section of the

program will be devoted to a single work. Concerto number two in C minor for piano and orchestra was 18 by Sergei Rakmaninov the soloist Eugene Injik.

Concerto number two in C minor for piano locustro was 18 by Sergei Rakmaninov. The Concerto was in three movements, Matarato, Daggio Sostinuto, the Lego Skepzando. A word first but our soloist born in Yugoslavia in 1947, 19-year-old Eugene Injik was brought to Springfield, Massachusetts by his mother when he was four years old. After exhibiting an early interest in music he began to study the piano. There was a period of advanced study with Alexander Borowski. Currently Mr. Injik is studying with live in Thompson in New York. For his formal education he went to Phillip's Academy in Endova, Massachusetts, and attends Harvard. He's previously performed with the Boston Pops as well as the Boston Symphony. Sergei Rakmaninov composed the second piano Concerto in 1900 when he was 27. The first had been completed in 1891. The third appeared in 1999, the fourth in 1927, and the Paganini Rhapsody was written in

1938. Rakmaninov came from a family of all-time landed Gentry. His father required by marriage seven estates, only to lose them by in competence and profligacy. The young Sergei started his formal musical training in St. Petersburg when he was only nine years old. Six years later he went to the Moscow Conservatory where he continued his piano studies and added composition to his curriculum. Takovsky was there and offered what helped he could. It was not long before Rakmaninov became as well-known as formidable piano virtuoso, and in 1899 he went to London for a concert with the London Philharmonic. Two years later in 1901 in Moscow he performed his second piano Concerto, a work which immediately attained international success and popularity. Almost at once it became a stable concert piece in the romantic tradition of the early 20th century or perhaps more appropriately the late 19th

century. It was in 1999 that he made his first American tour giving his initial American concert at Smith College in Northampton Massachusetts. The Boston Symphony offered him the post of conductor but he declined. Once again in 1918 the awful was repeated and once again it was declined. A year before following the 1917 revolution, Rakmaninov had left Russia never to return. At first he made his home in Switzerland. Then in 1935 he came to the United States which became his home for his remaining years. The music for which Rakmaninov stood, music which was a part of the Moscow cult, was opposed by the so-called St. Petersburg group which included Rimsky Korsakov and the composer critic Chezakui. These St. Petersburg group regarded the must-of-ites as gypsy writers. Our soloist Eugene Inject is now on stage with Mr. Fieber for concerto number two in C minor for John O'Kestra Opus 18 by Sergei Rakmaninov.
