SEWS 0TES OF GENERAL INTEREST
Mr. Paul Ton Janko and his revolution
ized piano keyboard have for some years at
tracted the liveliest interest in European
musical centers. He came over-sea a fort
night ago and is now engrossing the atten
tion of 2ew York's piamstic populace.
From the full description o( the invention
printed by the.lmcrtcan Musician, from the
pen of Prof. Kichard Hausman, Director of
the Janko Conservatory in Vienna, the fol
lowing paragraphs are extracted:
"The exterior appearance of the Janko
keyboard resembles a flight of six steps.
The kejs are ranged terrace-like in six
rows, one above the other, not, however, in
a straight line upward, but in tbe manner
ot tiles on a root, the juncture of each two
keys in one row being exactly in the middle
of the kejs m tbe row immediately above
it, thus onlv the keys of tbe first, third and
fifth rows, and the keys of the second,
fourth and sixth rows respectively, are ex
actly one above the other. So that the keys
of the first, third and fifth rows slope in a
straight line one above tbe other, and so also
do the kejs of the second, fourth and sixth
rows.
"The six rows are not independent of one
another, but the keys which lie in a line
one above the other are connected together
and are pressed down whenever the corre
sponding key in one of the rows is struck,
so that the keis which lie exactly one above
the other naturallj produce the same sound.
It. thea, a l.e be .trucl. in the Mrst, third or
flltli row, the sound hoard will always be one
and the same, and not that ot an octave higher,
nor will it beawcakcrnor a stronger sound.
And the line effect will he produced it a Kej
in the second, fuurtn or sixth row is struck.
Each kej of the JanKo keyboard, when
viewed from the side. looks like a stair consist
ing of three steps and can therefore be struck
in any one ot tni'sc turce points toucn points
or kevsteps. This arrangement, by which
every kev, 1. e., eer note, can be struck and
preyed down at thedillerent projectinff poi-jts
touch points is one of the chief character
istics of the new ke hoard. With a view to a
more easv recognition of the kevs the key-step-
ot the notes F sharp, G sharp, A sharp, C
fibarp, D sharp, are distinguished by a black
stripe, while C, D, E. K, G, A. B, are white.
The groups of two and three black keys with
their three and four white ones are easily
recognizable at first sight and are in fact the
earoe as on the ordinar kej board."
"The surfaces of the kej -steps or touch
points, are fla . but the right, left and front
edges are rounded off cj Imdncally, so that in
no ulace do the touch-points present an edge or
bharpness This is an important feature of the
Jinko keboard and offers immense facilities
to the touch in rapid passages, blending of
tones, skips, etc
"The peculiarity of Being able to produce the
eauie tone in thice different places gives the
performer far greater freeaom and convenience
of action, as the large number of touch-points
enable lnm to choo-e the kej nearest to, 1. e.,
most convenient to th" finger concerned.
"Unlike th kej board hitherto used, the
Janko kej board permits the hand to constantly
preserve the natural position demanded by its
anatomiDl structure. The arrangement of the
superposed rows enables tbe thumb to play
upou the lower rows, leaviug tbe other fingers
free to use tbe higher ones, thereby allowing
the thumb to bold the peculiar position which
it naturallj occupies in contrast with and be
low the other tracers.''

Some Other Opinions.
Another German enthusiast, E. W. Fritsch,
editor of the Leipzig Jlusikaltschcs li'ochen
blatt, thus gives bis impressions on hearing the
inventor displaj the advantages of the new
kejboara:
"I abstain from giving explanations, but as
sure the reader that I have never heard a
fugue by Bach played to such perfection, with
such clearness and distinctness all structural
convolutions, as by Mr. von Janko. On that
memorable evening he plaed a serifs of
classic and modern compositions with very
considerable master-hip. The most striking
feature was the production of new effects. We
heard chromatic octaves, glissandos of sixes and
triads, simple chromatic glissandos, scales of
chords of tne sixth, all in a fdiious time,
changes of fingers in rcpeited octaves, runs
with two banann different rows of kejs. which
in their remarkable effects resembled the pres
ent glissando. etc. What magic sounds would
not a Liszt charm out of such an instrument!
There is no doubt that there is a bright future
f n store for the new keyboard.
It removes so many difficulties, and facili
tates the attainment of so high a degree of per
fection, that we cannot help thinking thatsuch
enormous improvements must be the forerun
ners of a new era of pianoforte playing-"
The American critics, who have not had tbe
same opportunity of familiarizing themselves
with tbe workings of the new device, could ot
be expected to be so unreservedly enthusiastic
All concur m admitting its great technical pos
sibilities, though some doubt if the spirit of
music can be so intimately wooed throngh so
complicated a mechanism as through the cus
tomary kind of kevs The New York Ttbune,
as usual, giTes a judicial view of the case as
follows:
.Mr Paul de Janko's exhibition of bis new
keyboard for the pianoforte last Friday even
ing at Chickcnng Hall has stirred un an un
questioned sensation among musicians. Con
cerning the ingenuity of the invention, and the
fact that it widens the canacity ot tbe player
ioin a technical point of view enormously,
then, can be no two opinions. Whether
or not it is an unqualified blessing to
music is another question, and one, more
over, that is not so easily answered. The
tendency toward mechanical excellence bas
for so Ion: a time held its sway o er the piano
forte playinc world that the fear has otten
been felt that the matter of music is being
pursued at the expense of the spirit. It is an
oldnbseration applicable to music as well as
tbe fine aits that the age of 'virtnositv' is al
v' a,s a" age of decadence. While this is true,
3t should not be forgotten that emancipation
Irom technical shackles is essential to musical
development."
The Abbott Phenomenon.
Tho Chicago Times is responsible for this
admirable presentation of a case that has in
like manner surprised many others:
1be EmmaJVbbott Opera Company has
drawn full houses at the Grand Opera House
lor a week, though presenting, with one excep
tion, oiilj works which Miss Abbott has been
giving for e3rs. Without any disposition to
take from Miss Abbot ' merits as a vocalist, it
remains a profound surprise that she holds her
popularity, so pronounced her manner
isms, monotonous her style of represen
tation and inartistic her vocal methods.
Since her pnblic career began some 15 tears
nzo she has been w hat is called a lucky woman.
Even then, before Chicago had beard the sound
of ber voice, a line of men ai d bovs stood all
night waiting for the openintr of "the sale or
ticket' for her concert in Kingsbury Hall, so
ingeniously had she been advertised. She had
thus reached at a bound, and without sirg
ing a note here, a place in the public de
mand that few artists with 20 times her
merit ever attain. As a matter of fact she
Bang better then, for tbe most part, than she
does now. It is one of the not-to-be-explained
curiosities of ihe stage. In her whole repertory
there is but one character which she bas ever
done here at leat, in a way to justify one in
saying that it was well done that is to say, that
the good iu hei representation predominated
oyer the bad and that one is Violctta in
"Traviata, and she seems to have dropped it
altogether. One never appreciates so keenly
the necessitj for something to teach peonle
how to disunguit-n between the genuine and
the counterfeit in musical art as when duui
I ounded at the lavish applause of an Abbott
audience"
.
The King of Instruments.
Last Weanesday there was formally Inaug
urated in the Chicago Auditorium an organ
that Is certainly the finest in this country and
one of tbe foremost in the world. It was built
liy Frank Roosevelt, of New York, on specifi
cations 111 the drawing of which Mr. Clarence
Eddy. Chicago's famous organist, had an lm
jiortant share. A few paragraphs from Mr.
.Eddy's own description of the instrument, iii
Hue Jndtcalor. may serve to give some idea of
this greatest achievement in American orcan
jbollding:
- Tbe seven different departments of tbe organ
riamrly: Great, swell, chotr. solo, pedal, echo'
nndatage organs, are all controlled from the
keyboards in the. orchestra by means of the
Itoosevelt patent electric action. The Iteybox,
Mlucli is a marvel of compact
ness, extends downward into the
basement beneath, and in this ex
tension the great labyrinth of combination ac
tion and electric contacts is contained. Every
particle of this action, however, is easily ac
cessible, and notwithstanding the magnitude
of tne organ and its wealth of mechanical re
sources the system of construction is a para
gon of simplicity and perfection.
By means of the Roosevelt patent adjusta
ble "combination action, which lias been
called "the evei t of tne age in organ building,"
any combination of manual and pedal stops,
together with their corresponding couplers,
raav be set at any moment by drawing the de
sired combination and then pulling outward
(about a quarter of an inch) the piston
upou which it is desired to have the combina
tion set. Whenever this pistonispushedin.it
will always draw the exact combination selected
when the piston was pulled out. In tbi9 wy
as man combinations for each manual and the
pedal with their couplers maybe set as there
arc pistons. In case a change in any combina
tion may be desired, it is only neressary to draw
tbe desired combination at any time, and lock
it by one of the pistons."
Tbe crescendo pedal is of a novel character
and furuishei complete control over tne entire
instrument. By a single stroke of the toe on
an ordinary balanced pedal, a gradual cres
cendo, or "increase of tone, from the softest
stop to the full organ, is obtained without dis
turbing the existing arrangement of knobs,
the rapiditv of the crescendo being regulated
hythedegreo of speed used in pressincrtown
the pedal. A diminuendo or reverse effect is
accomplished by pressing with the heel upon
the same pedak
Tbe pedal "solo off and echo on" is another
clever contrivance by means of which the
fourth manual acts in tbe double capacity of a
kejboard for the solo and echo organs. The
duality of this keyboard obviates tbe necessity
of havinga fifth manual, which would bean
advantage only in theory. Practically the
present system is far more convenient for the
player.
The echo organ is located In the attic over
the hall, more than 100 feet away from the
player. The pipes being enclosed in a swell
box, most marvelous effects of distance and
echo may be produced.
Anothergrcat novelty will be found in the
stage organ, which is placed upon the stage,
and may be moved from place to place The
design of this adjunct is primarily to assist the
chorus in operatic and choral performances.
This organ, like the echo organ, is played from
one ot the keyboards in the orchestra by
means of electric action.
Crochets and Quavers.
Mrs. William B. Wolfe, Miss Mary Bank
ard and M r. J ohn Sti ouss are among the singers
secured for the concert soon to be given on be
half of tbe Soutbsidc Hospital.
Mr. Riukehart Mayer, organist, and Miss
Horn, soprano, carried musical Pittsburg's
banner into tbe Second Presbyterian Church,
of Washington. Pa., last Thursday eveumg.
Miss Bertha Kaderly is arranging a con
certat Eurichsville, O . for tbe 23th Inst., when
she will be assisted by Mr. George E. Williams,
the baritone of St. Peter's P.E. Church vested
choir.
The date of tbe proposed musical and elocu
tionary entertainment for the benefit of Miss
E. M. Simpson, of tbe High School, has been
changed tu November 26, the evening before
Thanksgiving Day.
The Mozart Club bas been obliged to post
pone its first concert until Taesdav, December
2. owing to the delay in procuring from En
gland the orchestral score and parts of Cowen's
"Rose Maiden," the work to be given.
The Mendelssohn Club, of tbe East End, is
rehearsing Cbadwlck's choral ballad, "Lovely
Rosabelle," for its first concert of tbe season,
to be given next month. Two more concerts
are in the season's scheme of this young
chorus, of which Mr. James P. McColIum is
conductor.
Not every kind of a concert would be inviting
on Thanksgiving Day, but no doubt Pitts
burgers will find Mr. Gilmore's popular pro
grammes go down easilv on top of the turkey.
Mrs. Ida Euler-Klein and Mr. Edward
O'Mahoney will accompany the famous military
band this time.
The appearance of Ovide Mnsin, the Belgian
violinist, and his concert troupe in the "Pitts
burg Star Course" will take place on the 24th
inst. at Old City Hall. Mr. Musin bas won
bright laurels during his two or three seasons
in this country, ranking among tbe very best
violinists now with us. Other attractions iu
this course are the famous Fi-k Jubilee Singers
and the Redpatb Concert Company.
Me, Franz Rujimel's first American ao
pearance since his season here four years agp
was effected at a concert of the Boston Sym
phony Orchestra in Sanders' Theater, Cam
bridge, Thursday evening the I6th ult. He
played Beethoven's concerto in E flat and
achieved brilliant success. At his first New
York concert, last Thursday, be plajed two
c ncertos, with the hIp of Mr. Thomas and his
orchestra, and scored another triumph.
At St. Petersburg this season it is intended
to bring out "Prince L:or,'" a posthumous work
of the late Alexander Borodin, portions of
which have been performed in the concert
room; also Tschaikov sky's new opera, "La
Dame de Pique." At Moscow an unpublished
opera, entitled "A Dream on tbe Volga," by
Anton AieusLy, a young composer, some of
whose works have gained much notice, is to be
the principal uovelty.
A Berlii society, railed the ' Gesellschaft
der Opernfreunde,' gave, on the 2d inst., a per
formance of two rarely heard works: Mozart's
"Bastien u. Bastienne" and Mendelssohn's
"Hemikehr aus der Fremde." Mozart's work
is a little operetta for three characters, written
in 1TCS (when the author was 12). and consists of
an overture. Hairs, 3 duets and a trio. Men
delssohn's work is sufficiently well known un
der the English title of "Son and Stranger."
AS appears from the recently translated let
ters Schumann considered his best works to be
tbe Ki eulerlana, l'hanla$icstueckc, llomanzcn
and JVovcleUen. isnt be did not overrate even
his best works. When an admirer wished to
have his portrait to place between two of the
gieate-tcomposers,bchumaun modestly replied:
"Don't place me between Beethoven and
Weber, though somewhere near them, so that
I may go on learning from them all my life"
Says tbe Philadelphia Timet: "Von Bulowis
not above handling tbe baton and will conduct
the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra in London
during the coining season." The musical world
will be indeed glad to learn that the man who
has conducted tbe premier of some of tbe
greatest modern operas, the only man who has
eter trained an orchestra to play wuole sym
phonies from nieiuori that, in short, one of
the three or four createst conductors alive
'Is not above handling the baton!"
That Lamoureux, the famous, conductor,
and Porel, the present director of tbe Odeon
Theater, will be the directors of the Paris
Grand Opera, when Ritt & Gailbard's term ex
pires, is now quite well assured, as The Dis
patch learns througb another communication
from Mr. W. D. Holmes, supplementary to his
interesting budget of Parisian news printed a
fortnight ago. ibis infoimation conies from
high authority, and the good news will proba
bly be officially announced this autumn.
This paragraph, by the "Raconteur" of tbe
Music dl Courier, concerns a singer soon to be
heard in Pittsburg again: "My friend Lavin,
the handsome tenor, is here and is looking
quite robust in appearance. He is happy and
no wonder. Among his many engagements,
Sar example are: Last night in Philadelphia:
iecember2in Brookljm, Cowen's 'sr, John's
Eve,' under WiskeV baton:December 4, at the
Lenox Lyceum, Sullivan's 'Golaen Legend,
uuuer the same conductor: December 2tf, The
Mes iah,' at Grand Rapids: December 3(1.
Lignt ot Asia,' in Detroit, and a song recital.
Battle Creek, Mich. Very fair showing, Will
iam J. Keep it up."
A testimonial concert of unusual propor
tions is being projected on behalf of Mr. Balt
hazar Weis. the veteran conanctor of the Great
Western Band, whose recent long and severe
illness gives proper occasion for such a mani
festation. Tbe concert will take place some
afternoon early in December, probably at the
Grand Opera House. Pittsburg's crack mili
tary band above named will take part, of
course and it is expected to develop for this
occasion an orchestra ol about 0 men from the
nucleus of players who have lor some time
been rehearsing informally at the Gernert resi
dence every Sunday. For a testimonial to one
who has served so long and so prominently in
onr musical army, there will be no trouble in
getting a sufficient number of our best per
formers to make up a fine large programme
and there ought to bn no difficulty about draw
ing a large audience.
The Beethoven Qartet Club announces that,
in its series of six evenings of chamber music
this season. It will be assisted by soloists of in
ternational reputation. At tbe first concert, in
Old City Hall, November 25, the singer will be
Miss Clementina DeVere who has already con
quered tbe Pittsburg public, as she has most of
the country's musical oenters. On this first
programme Beethoven's great "Kreutzer
Sonata" Will appear, to be played by Mr. Fred
G. Tocrge and Mr. Clil Retter. Del Puente.
the well-known baritone, has been cngigcd for
a later date For several seasons the Beethoven

The novelexperiment or giving a matinee in
one auditorium (tbe Grand Opera House) and
an evening concert in another (Old City Hall)

anci ,his Vienneseiprcbestra, There is nothin"
new to say about Strauss: the huge audiences
at the Exposi Ion last spring and the huger
audiences of tbe next axj's newspapers remem
ber him and bis players very well. As .Mr.
Strauss seems to hare confined his programmes
this time still more exclusively to the dances

ISrXCML TELEOKJLM TO Till DISPATCB.1
South Nobwalk, Conn., November
1. Much amusement was created tip in
New Milford this alternoon at the expense
of 200 or more Kepublicans. United States
Senator Joseph K. Hawley had been ex
tensively advertised to speak there, and a
committee, accompanied by every Repub

him to the hall. Not one of them had ever
seen General Hawley, and when he alighted
irom the car he was unnoticed.
The Hon. Nicholas Staub, Democratic

taking in the situation at a glance, ad
vanced to the genial Senator, to whom he
was unknown, extending his hand with the
remark": "Ah, General, we are waiting ior
you. Come right this way," led him to a
coach and drove rapidly away. Later Mr.
Staub's friends met at "tbe hotel, where all
had dinner. Not until the meal was about
over did the Kepublicans learn of the trick,
and then all made a rush for the hotel. Ex
