11This young Jugoslav violinist brought to our notice a fiddler of the first rank, musical thru and thru and technically excellent. Sufficient evidence lay in the fact that he chose in his debut the difficult—Sonata—of Brahms and the grandiose Bach Chaconne. Balokovic not only solved these problems easily, but knew how to read into the works and to add a personal note of his own. Especially in the Chaconne HE EVINCED HIS SLAVIC NATURE, HIS TURBULENT TEMPERAMENT AND A PULSATING RHYTHM. HE PLAYED IT IN MASTERFUL CONTROL OF ITS UNBELIEVABLE DIFFICULTIES, AND EVERY PART OF IT WAS GIVEN FEELING AND THOUGHT. Also in the Brahms the style was praiseworthy.
13After the pause the violinist was in his element of brilliant virtuosity in the music of Suk, Smetana, Slavensky, Dvorak, and a particularly beautiful caprice of Balogh and Sarasate's "Zigeunerweisen."
15THE SUCCESS OF THE ARTIST WAS GREAT AND HE RESPONDED WITH A TRANSCRIPTION OF A BRAHMS WALTZ.
