Alexander MacFayden is tall, musically
graceful and very entertaining
while playing, showing his versatility
at the conclusion of his repertoire by
offering a rag medley, something entirely
unexpected because Alexander
has all the hallmarks of a classic student,
particularly a musical growth of
hair that lies in rolls over the principal’s
shoulders.
"Sextet from Lucia" with
his left hand and his "Southern Echoes"
convinced the Palace gathering Alexander
was "there" and when he exited
there was no doubt left of either his
ability or his score, for he had rolled
up a snug hit.
