French pianists brilliant

Brilliant technique highlight
ed three duets performed by
two French pianists Tuesday
night in Rudder Auditorium.
Unfortunately, the audience’s
response was not equal to the
pianists’ performance.
Michel Beroff and Jean-
Philippe Collard performed
pieces by Claude Debussy,
Sergei Rachmaninoff and Oli
vier Messiaen, in a concert spon
sored by the MSC Opera and
Performing Arts Committee.
The audience responded
favorably to the first piece, “En
Blanc et Noir” (In Black and
White) by Debussy, in three
movements, and “Shite No. 2 for
Two Pianos, Op. 17” by Rach
maninoff, a Russian pianist,
conductor and composer.
Debussy wrote “En Blanc et
Noir” in 1914 when his country,
France, was threatened by Ger
man forces. Debussy said the
first movement alluded to men
who did not participate in the

“macabre dance” on the battle
field.
In the second movement, De
bussy used variations on the
melody from “Ein Feste Burg”
(“A Mighty Fortress”) by Martin
Luther to suggest the presence
of German armies.
The Scherzando movement is
characterized with persistant
high, background whistling
pitches, imitating the sound of
wind and rain to signify life’s
continuity after war.
In the piece by Rachmani
noff, the first and second move
ments interwove to sound like
one pianist was performing.
The Romance was melodious
and soft, conjuring up the sham
poo-commercial image of a boy
and girl running to embrace
each other after a long separa
tion.
The Tarantella seemed to be
physically demanding for the
pianists.
The second half of the per
formance consisted of one duet,
“Visions de I’amen, for Two
Pianos” by Messiaen, a French
composer. This piece, which
consists of seven movements
that are commentaries on the
meanings of amen (“so be it” in
Hebrew), was not well received
by the audience, possibly be
cause of its abstract and contem
porary style.

DALLAS — Inspired by a
military recruiting program of a
few years ago, the Dallas Police
Department has begun a “buddy
system” recruiting campaign
that gurantees two or three peo
ple will be assigned to the same
division for at least two years.
“We didn’t know the success
of the Army recruiting prog
ram, which allowed friends to
join up together, but were will
ing to give any idea a try to fill
our police shortage,” f apt. Mar
lin Price, head of the personnel
division, said.
Price said he believed the Dal
las department was among the
first in the country to offer such
a program for recruits and is
hoping it will be successful in
attracting more women and
minority applicants.
Buddies will not patrol
together, however. Price said all
recruits attend the Police
Academy for 17 weeks, then re
ceive six months of field training
and are then on six moi
probation, all underihesi
sion of an experienced tl
“It’s possible that ail
point in their careers, bl
sons who joined togethel
patrol together, but till
going to have to get i
perience first. You canif?
rookies out on patrol toj(|
