short business session, Mrs.
Tom Harwell, president, intro
duced the guest artist, Dr. Jo
seph Guillebeau.
Dr. Guillebeau again demon
strated his mastery of the pi
anoforte and entered immedi
ately into the abstract design
of Bach’s Fantasia Cromatica
e Fuga. Here he gave a variety
of tonal color and shading, ob
taining a surprising big sonor
ity from a small piano. The fu
gue ended in a stirring climax.
Again, in the Appassionata
Sonata Opus 57 of Beethoven,
he took the bravura of the first
movement in his stride, avoid
ing the brittle sounds and per
cussive effects some pianists
might be tempted to display.
Here he obtained a large and
beautiful tone which carried
him through to the brilliant fi-

The Debussy Preludes car
ried us to other realms, through
the magic of the composer and
the skill and understanding of
the artist. Although Debussy
did not intend his preludes to
be “tone pictures”, yet it was
difficult not to hear the eerie
chimes of the sunken cathedral
rising from the sea, not to be
swept away by this imaginary
world. The “Girl with the Flax
en Hair” was tragic and poig
nant in Guillebeau’s hands, not
the sentimental tid bit one us
ually hears. Dr. Guillebeau
seems to understand French
music and how it should be
played, and this is indeed a
very rare quality.
Guillebeau has a fine com
mand of the piano, an under
standing of what he wishes to
achieve and succeeds in com
municating to his listeners. It
is always a pleasure to hear
him.
