MICHELANGELO and Raphael are the two artists chosen by Mr. Roger Fry to illustrate his contention that, whereas the sculptor is only concerned with the relations of the parts of the figure to each other, the painter is concerned with the double problem of creating the appearance of the solid bulk of objects and of situating them in an imagined space.

IT is a summer evening in Russia loss than a hundred years ago. From an old, rambling house long windows open on to a terrace ; candle light shines on ringlets, sloping shoulders, and white satin crinolines. Two men sit in the shadow.

Op this Concerto it is eminently true that in its virile, sincere wholesomoness it can speak for itself far better than any mere words may hope to do, no matter how enthusiastic the scribe might be in its praise. There are three movements : the first is a big, robust Allegro, of which the chief tune is boldly announced at the outset by all the strings in unison; in the second, Adagio, a theme of rather solemn import, also played first by the strings in unison, becomes anon the bass for a very beautiful, song-like melody on the pianoforte. The third, again an Allegro which has a spirit of wholesome merriment in spite of its minor mode, ia based on two figures, heard simultaneously at the opening-one beginning with a downward scale and the other mounting vigorously upwards.
