Rabinof called the Sanitation Department and by and by the crate was found. She had it carted to the cellar in the apartment house where she lives at 344 West Seventy-second Street and she and Benno combed through it. They found a photograph of Mr. Strokoff, a young man, posing with the Master and with Jacques Thi-baut, the French violinist. And deep in the carton they turned up five sheets of music, cadenzas written by the Master when the Rabinofs came for it, weeks later, it was gone.

Some Junkman had taken it away. The landlady did not know, or remember, his name. Mrs. Rabinof thought it shameful that no relic had been saved. SHE SAT DOWN with the classified telephone directory and called Manhattan junk dealers one by one.

Finally she found a man who remembered the cardboard crate. He had found nothing useful in it. He had thrown the whole package into a city dump. poverished in a dark furnished room in the East Eighties a few years ago, he talked mostly of two things the great Eugene Ysaye, his teacher, whom he called Master, and of certain music the Master had written that only he (Mr. Strokoff) owned.

BUT MR. STROKOFF, broken and embittered because he had never become the great violinist he had hoped to be, was likely to dream and ramble quite a bit.

Read Ben Avery's "Rod and Gun" in The Arizona Republic for Beethoven's Violin Concerto. They also found a cadenzas for Mozart's Major Violin Concerto and harmonization for the Geminiani Sonata in Minor. This was the music, they figured, that Mr. Strokoff had treasured down the years. THE MOZART PIECES are known, but the Rabinofs are fairly certain that the other Ysaye music is not.

Mrs. Rabinof thinks the cadenzas for the Beethoven concerto are lovely. She and her husband have offered them to the Belgian Government, which this year, celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Master's birth. For their Phoenix appearance the Rabinofs play a concerto written exclusively for them by the great Czech contemporary composer Martinu. The orchestra under Dr.

I Symphonic Choir Plans For Concert The Arizona Symphonic Choir, under, the direction of Ben Denton, will present a concert at 8:30 p.m. on March 31. The choir, which will be accompanied by a 30-plece professional orchestra, will appear at North Phoenix High School Auditorium.

Two contrasting works will be presented, Cantata No. 4, "Christ Lag In Todesbanden" by J. S. Bach and "Requiem" by Gabriel Faure. "Christ Lag In Todesbanden," to be sung in the original German, is an Easter cantata and ranks as one of the most remarkable works that ever came from the master's pen.

Bach used as his text an entire Lutheran congregational hymn, the seven verses written by Martin Luther. The melody is based upon an ancient Easter sequence composed by Wipo of Burgundy. In essence, the work Is a magnificent choral fantasia or set of variations on the basic melody, which occurs In different forms throughout the entire score. Deeply serious in nature, It is at the same time joyous in spirit and depicts the struggle between life and death and the ultimate triumph of Christ. Fause's Requiem was his one work of importance in the domain of church music, though he was a church organist for the greater part of his life.

was written to express his sense of personal loss on the death of his father. This sensitive composer, whose music many regard as the exemplification of the French national qualities of grace and refinement, never allowed his Requiem to take on the spectacular quality of the concert hall. Scored for chorus, soprano and baritone solos and orchestra, the work is suitable for both liturgical and concert use. The idea of eternal rest is stressed throughout. In the choice of both music and text, Faure emphasized the elements of faith and hope in the Christian philosophy of life rather than the fears and terrors of judgment.

The result is a choral work eloquent in its restrained simplicity. Tickets are on sale by members of the choir or can be obtained by calling AM 5-6651. Devine's Son In 3Iovie Role Dennis Devine, 17-year-old son of Andy Devine, has his most important motion picture role to date portraying Lawrence Scan-Ion, a pilot from Cedarhurst, Long Island, in Warner "Lafayette Escadrille," story of the famous flying group of World War I. The romantic drama, starring Tab Hunter and Etchika Choureau, was directed by William Wellman, a former member of the Escadrille. Erin Reports Warner star Erin O'Brien has reported back to the studio following a singing engagement in Tucson to prepare for her role in the forthcoming production of "John Paul Jones," in which she has the female lead opposite Robert Stack.

Stiedry, one of the best of practicing operatic conductors, whose specialties are Mozart and Wagner, plans to hole up in a Swiss retreat this spring and work at the opera until it is finished. The "angel" whose "grant" of an unspecified amount will permit Stiedry to pass up conducting engagements for an indefinite time, asked to be anonymous. The partly composed opera is based upon a libretto in German written by the German poet, Georg Kaiser.
