WHITING TO PLAY BACH'S WORK IN PAINE TOMORROW

Dr. Arthur Whiting, assisted by Mr. George Barrere and other noted artists, will give a Bach concert in Paine Hall under the auspices of the Department of Music tomorrow at an hour to be announced.

Several selections from the "Well Tempered Clavichord", often reproduced some what clumsily on the pianoforte, will be rendered on the harpsichord, an instrument very similar to the one for which these selections were originally written. Much of Bach's music was composed for the old-fashioned harpsichord. Mr. Whiting considers the combination of flute and harpsichord as the best medium of interpreting Bach's pieces, as it makes the best reproduction of the instrument on which Bach originally wrote.

The features of the evening will be an "Air, from the Suite in D" and the "Adagio from the Concerto in D major." The concert is open to all members of the University without charge.
