Music: Bach for Yale

The Yale School of Music added greatly to its prestige last week with the announcement of a course in Bach to be given next fall by Pianist Harold Samuel. Yale could have chosen no better exemplar to interpret Bach to the young. When Samuel visited the U. S. from England six years ago it was with the reputation of having made Bach recitals as popular there as cricket matches. In the U. S. he has essayed other composers but it is Bach which best suits his immaculate, flowing style. Bach at which no other pianist can excel him. His Yale course will be limited to twelve students of already passable piano technique.
