the quartet wove the intricate
polyphonic sounds of chamber
music by Beethoven, Ravel and
Brahms into a single voice.
Polyphony is layered sound, a
major part of chamber music. In a
broad sense, chamber music is de
signed for one instrument for each
part of music.
Each musician in the quartet is
responsible for his own melodic
line, which weaves together to
form the stucture of the piece.
The quartet is composed of Atar
Arad on viola, Paul Katz on cello,
Peter Salaff on violin, and Donald
Weilerstein on violin. Together
they played in total synchroniza
tion, placing power and express
ion where it was needed in music
al phrases.
In their last and best piece,
Quartet in F Major by Ravel, the
quartet blended the many diffe
rent sounds into a monophonic, or
single layer of sound.
Unlike some musical pieces,
which, to the untrained ear, sound

t $3.6 million at completion,
iject director David Brink said.
Originally, the Elissa was to
ve been rebuilt to sail regularly
a sea-experience vessel for stu-
snts.
“That idea was scrapped as in-
ppropriate,” Brink said Tuesday.
“It’s a more than 100-year-old ves
sel. Plus, the Coast Guard never
would have gone for it. They have
no classification under which the
Elissa could sail and carry passen-
gers.’’
Plans now are to sail her as a
yacht to “keep the tradition of sail
ing alive,” Brink said.
About 40 employees of the Gal
veston Historical Foundation, and
70 volunteers have worked on the
Elissa since it was purchased in
Greece for $40,000 in 1975. The
hull was redone there, and the
vessel was towed to Galveston.
The Elissa was originally a bark
built in 1877 by a Scottish ship
builder. Her log indicates while
under the British flag, she sailed
into Galveston in the 1883 and
1886.
Since then she has been re
named five times and altered dras
tically in shape to accommodate
faster sailing.
Going to be around for at least
two more years?

Tourist s tiny pistol leads
to trouble at White House
United Press International
HOUSTON — A businessman,
who described himself as an “avid
Reaganite,” sheepishly admitted
that taking a tiny pistol to the
White House last week was fool
ish, but said he had forgotten the
gun was in his pocket.
Larry Chess, 41, who runs a
janitorial service, asked a uni
formed guard at the White House
to hold his three-inch, five-shot,
.22-caliber pistol as he went into
the president’s home for a tour.
He said he usually carries the gun
for his own protection.
“It was so small that I had for
gotten it was in my pocket,’’ he
said, explaining he would have re
turned to his car with the gun, but
“it was a long way back to the car,
and it was cold outside.”
Chess was arrested and
charged with carrying a concealed
weapon and possession of an unre
gistered handgun and ammuni
tion. He was detained by Secret
Service agents for 30 minutes, and
following the Secret Service inter
rogation, was detained by
Washington police for five and a
half hours.
Chess’ friends in Houston
threw a party for the couple Mon
day with gifts of toy pistols and a
cake, decorated with a blue-
coated, snarling policeman.
Chess said he worked for Presi
dent Reagan’s election last year.

Next to the Romodo Inn, C.S.
theme, the quartet made Ravel’s
piece sound like a love song play
ed by a dance orchestra. It had a
definite and repeating tune, easily
recognizable to the audience.
As true masters of their craft,
the quartet also displayed their
versatility. In the scherzo move
ment of Beethoven’s Quartet in C
Minor, the musicians wisked their
fingers over the strings in a fren
zied state. But, as with true mas
ters, they were always in control.
