EMIND me next time to be more respectful to press releases in advance of concerts. The one for the lturbis' two piano recital meant exactly what it said. When it billed sister Am- paro first it meant that brother Jose was letting her take the pianistie lead, whether out of gallantry or spring fever, who can say? And when it neglected to say who would play what, why naturally it meant they would play everything together, whether it happened to be Mozart's Major Sonata, written with two pianos masterfully in mind, or Chopin's Polonaise in The larger picture shows one way of giving a conventional furniture arrangement new interest.

The smaller has some ideas for turning a dull corner into something both distinctive and useful. I The practical value of placing a sofa parallel to a wall, flanking It with end tables and lamps, and putting a coffee table and a lounge chair or two out front has made this a standard arrangement in countless homes. There are several ways of giving it freshness. In the picture taken in a showroom in the Merchandise Mart a beautiful silver elm veneer over beech makes the wood itself unusually attractive. In addition, there are striking upholstery patterns.

The total effect is enhanced by the use of a circular coffee table with deftly designed supports, nonmatching end tables beside the sofa, and seating pieces definitely out of the ordinary both in their general construction and in the use of plastic lacing on the arms. The nest of tables at one end of the sofa has a plastic cover. The table at the other end has a glass top. The table lamps are of Chinese porcelain with green opaque shades. The floor lamp has a rnetal shaft and a matting shade.

The smaller picture shows how easy it is to give one corner of a living room a study character by placing well designed leather chairs and a lamp and tabic close to wall, book shelves.

It was hard to say how Mr. Iturbi felt about it, as he didn't even bother to give that public the flashy polonaise he wished on the hapless Chopin in A Song to Remember," which so many of us prefer to forget. He just sat there, playing pianistie second fiddle, smiling an occasional altogether charming smile, and coming to life only when he reached J. Clarence Chambers reminiscent doodling called "All American," which the optimistic composer describes as satirical. A 5 M'- it I lr 1 I pianos are a puny substitute for one.

If by the second half you expected anything from their "arrangements" of Chopin and Gershwin, your faith deserved something better by way of a reward. Not The Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo's acquisition of Yvette Chau-vire as guest star got off to a bad start with what seems to hava been a singularly unfortunate "Giselle" in New York City.
