‘Eugene Fcpdor’s many years of
[actice and performance on
tekuolin were reflected by a su-
rb performance Friday even
ted in acartt^j| n R uc |d er Auditorium.

■odor’s unaccompanied per-

■The first movement, “Pre-

emphasized with vibrato.

active echo, and the Final

call 845-15I'
panied by pianist Judith Olsen,
whose exaggerated movements
on piano distracted from
Fodor’s performance.
The First movement of the
sonata was a romantic piece with
a rapid tempo. Fodor seemed to
chase the piano throughout the
E iece and echo its notes with rich
ut quiet tones.
The second movement was a
slow melancholy piece accented
with vibrato and tremolo. The
third movement was brimming
with sharp, strong staccato in
termingled with bold pizzicato
echoing the piano.
The Final movement began
with a slow tempo in which
Fodor blended his notes with
long smooth strokes of his bow.
He then quickened the tempo
with bouncy strokes across dou
ble strings followed by a repeti
tion of piercing notes on the E-
string.
Fodor’s next selection, which
followed intermission, was a
selection by Ernest Bloch enti
tled “Baal Shem, Pictures of
Chassidic Life,” a suite of three
movements.
The movements, “Vidui,”
“Nigun” and “Simchas Torah”,
were solemn, lulling pieces with
rich deep melodies. The tone of
the violin was so entrancing one
could almost forget the piece
was accompanied by piano.
“Sonata No. 3 (Ballade), Opus
27” for unaccompanied violin
was a lively, yet solemn piece
accented by strong emphatic
strokes of the bow. The quick
bow movements were captivat
ing, although piano accompani
ment would have added rich
background to the piece.
Fritz Kreisler’s “Caprice
Viennois” and “Tambourin Chl-
nois” were Fodor’s next selec
tions. The First was a soft, ange
lic piece with passages stroked
on double strings. The tempo
quickened, then slowed to a
soothing lullaby and ended with
a strong pizzicato to which the
audience responded with hearty
applause. Kreisler’s second
piece was characterized by a
light and airy staccato that led to
a grand ending with a rich blend
of pizzicato and string.
Fodor played his next selec
tion, “Introduction and Fantasy
on a Theme by Rossini” by Paga
nini, entirely on the G-string.
The piece had an elegant
melody, similar to that of a
promenade. Fodor’s movement
along the fingerboard was
smooth and versatile, and many
of the tones he produced
mimicked those of the flute.
“La Ronde des Lutins” — the
goblin’s dance — was quick and
lively. Fodor’s use of pizzicato
added a colorful touch to the
piece, while an occasional tre
molo produced hearty notes
through a stroke of the bow.
Upon completion of “La
Ronde des Lutins” Fodor re
ceived a standing ovation and
returned with an encore per
formance of Paganini’s “La
Campanella.” Paganini’s piece
was a fresh, airy tune accompa
nied by piano, which echoed
Fodor throughout the piece.
The tempo . of the selection
slowed with a lulling pizzicato
and became almost sing-song as
Fodor lavished peaceful tones
upon the audience through gen
erous use of his fingerboard.
Fodor’s concentration and ta
lent were put to the test during
the encore when a bat flew from
the wings of the stage into the
auditorium. Undaunted by the
distraction, Fodor completed his
piece with a flourish and was
greeted with enthusiastic ap
plause.

Twenty young women will
compete for the Miss Texas
A&M title at the fourth annual
Miss Texas A&M University
Scholarship pageant at 7 p.m.,
Friday in Rudder Auditorium.
The contestants will be
judged on talent performances,
personal interviews and their
appearance in swimsuit and
evening gown competition.
Contestants will be judged by
five judges — three Miss Texas
pageant judges and two local
judges, including Athletic Dire
ctor and Head Football Coach
Jackie Sherrill.
The contestants were chosen
from a group of 50 applicants
last November on the basis of
personal interviews and talent
screenings. Since that time, they
have prepared for the pageant
during talent coaching sessions
and by attending modeling and
grooming seminars. The contes
tants also have made several per
sonal appearances to promote
the pageant.
“They have spent hours prac
ticing their talents and model
ing,” said Connie Gillespie, re
cruiting and entries coodinator.
“They have set themselves a
goal. They’re hard workers.”
The contestants are spon
sored by local businesses which
donate the scholarship prize
money. Each contestant will
work one eight-hour day for
their sponsor.
Gillespie said there is a com
mon misconception about
pageants — a misconception she
said she held before she became
involved with the Miss Texas
A&M Scholarship pageant this
year.
“People think this is a beauty
pageant,” she said. “It’s not. The
girls are judged 50 percent on
talent and 30 percent on inter
views. That leaves only 20 per
cent for appearance.”
Gillespie said the judges will
be looking for knowledgeable
and talented women.
The winner of the pageant
receives a $1,000 scholarship, a
$1,000 wardrobe, the official
Miss Texas A&M crown and tro
phy, the use of a luxury car and a
diamond pendant. The first
through fourth runners-up will
receive scholarships of $500,
$400, $300 and $250 respec
tively.
The pageant will feature for
mer Miss Texas and Miss Texas
A&M University of 1981 Sherri
Ryman as Mistress of Cere
monies, Head Yell Leader Tom
Joseph as Master of Cere
monies, former Miss New Mex
ico Susan Spartz, the Aggieland
Orchestra and the Ross Volun
teers.

the University in the Miss Texas
