Please indicate the pro nunciation of Paderewskl, also give a short sketch of tho great plunlic who bears that name. Answer. Paderewskl Is pronounced Padnruffski.1 Poland, tho land that has given us Chopin, Tauslg. Josof Hnf mann, Seharwenka, MosKkowaki, I.os chetitzkl and SMvinskl, all of them great musicians, has the honor of be ing Paderow ski's native country. He was born on Nov. C, 1SC0, In Podolla, a province of Kusalnn Poland. Flnck ays. that, a3 a. bov, Paderewskl used to crawl on the piano stool, strike the keys, listen to the vibrations thnt make up n tone, and modify his touch till he got the exact quality his deli cate sense of tonal beauty craved. At twelve years of' age hi- went to War saw to study Ip the cinder vatory where latet he held p. professor.-hlp. At the age of nineteen be married a Polish girl, who died a year afterward, leav ing him an Invalid boy to whom he Is tenderly attached. Later, Paderewskl went to Eorlln whero he made a spe cialty of composition. At the age of twenty-three he accepted n professor ship at the conservatory of Strasburg. "While at Strasbutg he became Inti mately acnualnted with the famous Polish actress, Mine. Modjcska, so well known in this country, and it was probably through her sympathetic en couragement that he resigned his po sition at Strasburg nnd went to Vienna to ytudy the piano under his great countryman, I.eschetltskl. His debut ns a concert pianist was made in Paris at the cirque d'hUe in tho fall of 1SS9 In connection with one of the celebrat ed Lamoreux orchestral concerts. l!e ing u student In Paris at the time, I attended this concert, and I well re member the enthusiasm which Pader cwski'e playing evoked. Hero wns a man who had come to Paris unherald ed by nny blast of trumpets: a man of whom tho public had never even heard and In twenty-four hours he was famous. London and other English cities came shortly afterward under the spell of the great pianist. It Is said that now, when he gives a concert in London his receipts rarely fall below $5,000. In 1SB4 when his manager arranged a tour to the principal English cities, tho seats were sold in many places two months ahead of tho day arranged for the concert. Paderewskl'? American debut wns made on Nov. 17, 1891, at Cnni2gio hall, New York, and was a great suciess so far as the public was concerned. Tho musical critics, with a few exceptions, refused nt first to ac knowledge his greatness. One writer In n musical join rial remarked satir ically as follows; "Paderewskl, the pianist, came nnd did not conquer at once . Tlie press all the week was a study. Praise was given, but grudgingly, nnd the fatal comparison of names was Instituted. If Paderew skl had only had Joseffy's hair, Hosen thal's appetite, Rubinstein's powers of perspiration, Rummel's laugh, Paeh mnnn's grin, why, then Paderewskl would have been a great pianist." etc. Public enthuslnsm grew, and nt his re citals Carnegie hall, seating 2,700, with standing room for 1,000 more, was crowded. In less than six months Tad erewskt gave one hundred and seven teen concerts. In 1892, ho returned to the United States for a second concert tour, when ho gave, In twenty-six cities, sixty-seven concerts, and tho receipts amounted to $150,000 a finan cial success which had never beforo been equaled by an Instrumental par former. Tho following nre the oillclal figures for fourteen consecutive con certs: Illnghamton, $1,500; New York. $5,069; Uoston, $2,301: New Haven, $1,920; New York, ,5.000; Rochester, $1,352; Albany, $1,350; Hartford, $1,915: Uoston. $2,99!:: New York, $5,521: Ruf falo, $2,050; Philadelphia, $5,324: Urook lyn, $3,102; Uoston. $3,999; one Chicago concert in tho great auditorium yield ed $7,000. Genius 1ms been defined as "capacity for hard work," and Pader ewskl is a living example of it. Ha practices, It Is said, from ten to twelve hours a day when working up a reper toire. Flnck, tho New York critic, says that Paderewskl once told him that ho often lies awnko for hours at night, going over Ms next programme men tally, note for note, trying to get at the very essence of every measure. As n means of recrentlon ho Is passion ately fond of billiards. Of his playlrig Flnck says: "It is often said that n trace of charlatanism is essential to Will Be a .LAJINvI A tho success of even n genius. Pader ewskl is a living refutation of this as sertion. He never resorts to clap-trap, trleklness, or sensntionalim In order to win applause. He makes no conces sions to th popular craving for cheap tunes, but gives his hearers only the choicest products of the highest mu sical genius, from Il.ich to the present day. What prepo.'sesses an audience in his favor Is tho genuine simplicity of his bearing, tho absence of all do f re to pose." Huncker says of hlnv "Ilia life lins been full of sorrow nnd of adveisity of vlelousncss never. His heart Is pure, his life is clean, his Ideals lofty." Paderewskl speaks Pol ish, P.utslan, English, French and Gor man iluently. o A. Y. IV 1. How Is mtiflc prepared for the press? Must It be written on one side only, or may it be written on both sides? Answer. Manuscript music which Is Intended to bo. published Is usually wilt ten on I nth aides. 2. Is there nny kind of type, or cheap press, by which one could print mus-l-tal handbills, etc., similar to ordinal y type? Answer. I f.m at present unable to answer this queition. 1 have sent a lettsr of SuTJliy to the largest type foundry In this country, and If you will pay attention to the answers In this department for tho next week or two you may find this question an swered. 3. In music of the "gospel song ' style, I often meet with the "consecu tive ilfiii" which I always thought continry to the rules of musical com position. I meet with It oftener be tween tho close of one strain and tho commencement of tho next. In this connection Is It more allowable than any other place? Answer. It is not surprising that ou often find the forbidden harmonic progression of consecutive fifths. Many of tho composers of "gospel hymns" have llttlo knowledge of harmony. In considering "consecutive fifths" care ful distinction should be made be tween a progression of two perfect fifths nnd a progression of a perfect fifth followed by a diminished fifth. The first Is forbidden, but the second may be freely used. The consecutive fifths which you have found between tho end of one strain and the begln nh g the next are permissible. Good rich in his "Analytical Harmony" says tha following: "Chord movements that aro contrary to all principles of har monic progression frequently occur In jeenilng connection with one another; but periods, sections nnd sometimes even phrases are to be Isolated from what follows, and the principles of ptogresslon r.nd resolution do not nec essarily apply beyond these divisional or idbdl visional points." Peters. In learning to play n plpa organ what are tho principal difficul ties with which ono lias to contend? Answer. The principal difficulty Is that of playing with the feet. It l& probably not generally known that ev ery pipe organ has a keyboard for tho feet, nnd thnt tho bass of every organ composition Is played principally with the feet. The deep, pervading bass tones, the p:ory of an organ, are under the control of tho keyboard for the feet exclusively, having no connection whatever with the keyboards for the bands, or manuals. The notes played by the feet are printed on a staff sep arate from those for the hands, conse quent!: the organist must read threo staves at one time, one for each hand and one for the feet. A performer on tho organ must learn to play with his feet without looking nt tho pedals, which nre thirty in number In n fult suI i ed.-U board, having a compass of two octaves and a half; he must learn to use tho too and heel of each foot In passing from ono pedal key to another, and must uso both feet alternately, unless he chooses to belong to that variety of the "genus homo," known as the "oie legjed organist," who hops along on tho pedals with ono foot and never succeeds in playing the simplest hymn tuno correctly. A capable or ganist must be able to execute rapid scales, arpeggios, runs and even trills with his feet, nnd must bo able to play tjieni while the hands are engaged with difficult work of their own. As a pipe organ contains from two to four key Great Night boards en.-'h of which governs in renl iiy a complete organ in Itself which d'firs In power and variety from all t'ic ethers, the organist must know not only the best method of combining the stops for each, but also when to coniiilnc tho various keyboards by me; ns of mechanical stops called "couplers." He must be Intimately ac quainted with tho pitch, power and "trne color" of every stop In tho organ (rccli stop controls the sounding of a set of pipes, when the keys are pressed dovn, each set differing from every other set). Another difficulty to be ovenome In the learning of every piece for the organ is the chnnglng of stops, couplers and keyboards during the per formance of a movement without the lrast slowing up of the time or play ii'g In a halting, uneven manner. TJils requlies not infrequently, even with the aid of the "combination pedals little Iron pedals placed above the pedal keyboard, by means of which certain stops are pushed In or out as much special practice in a concert piece as was required to learn to play the notes properly. The use of the differ ent swell pedals In a modern organ the swell pedals control, to a certain extent, the Increasing or diminishing of power without adding or withdraw ing stops entails added difficulties to be overcome. A large organ, with its array of keyboards, stops,' couplers, combination pednls and pistons, swell pedals, full organ pedals, etc., demands of the organist technical ability of a special kind united with an active brain, good memory and a steady nerve. No matter how large the or gan is, the organist must keep track of the movement of every stop, coupler, pedal, piston, etc., from the beginning of a piece to the end, In tho same way that a train dispatcher keeps track of every train under his control, other wise he will come to grief. The "King of Instruments" Imposes severe tasks, but no other instrumental performer has a greater affection for his Instru ment than has an organist for a really good organ. MUSICAL GOSSIP. Rosenthal, the great Roumanian pianist, who ha3 made such a phenomenal suc cess, nnd who will be heard in New York, Is a rare example of the endurance of the prodigy. Children who display musical talent at an early age, seldom fulfill tho promise of their youth; but Rossathal has certainly proved the exception to the rule. He was barely in his fourth year, when he first began to show unmlstakaolo t-lgns of his destined calling, and at tho ago of 9 ho walked all the wuy from Lcm burg his native place to Vienna, to call upon Joaeffy. Tho latter received him with some amusement at first, but after hearing tho boy play ho became convinced of his renl merit, and willingly undertook hit: tuition. Mikull was Rosenthal's first teacher, and when only 10 ho made his Initial ap peal. mce in public with his muster, per forming Chopin's Rondo In C, for two piano-fortes. Later on, when his fam ily dHtermlncd to settle in Vienna, Rosen thal placed hlnuclf altogether under tin tuition of Joseffy. Tho work he did at Unit would have wrecked tho constitution of a. strong man, for, besides practising the piano for six or seven hours each day, he was also a student of tho University of Vienna. In tSSU Rosenthal gavo over u hundred lecltala in America, with tho most satisfactory results. IJut ho was not then the Ili.lt-iied artist that he is now, and thoso who hear him on tho event of his first concert at Carnegie Hall, on Nov. 10 will notlco a perceptlblo difference In his playing. Always a master of tech nique, ho has devolped latent qualities of sympathy in touch and refinement in in terpretation, that hava surpilscil oven his most nrdent admirers. Rosenthal's homo life is especially In teresting. Ho t-pends a great deal of time in Vienna and at Inch), but It is at his charming llttlo houso nt Abauzlo, near Trieste, that ono sees him at Ida best. It Is situated in a very picturesque spot and faces tho blue Adriatic. In fact, it is an ideal retreat for an artist. There he lives In seclusion with his beloved piano, and cpenfls from eight to ten hours dally In practice. Ho is an caily riser, ana after taking his matutinal plunge, he lm- kmcdlatcly proceeds to tho instrument. Seated In a comfortable ehulr, ha receives visitors, chats and transacts his business without even allowing his linger to wan der away from tho keyboard, It Is a difficult matter sometimes to convince ROSENTHAL, PIANIST. Until 10 SONS. him that thcro Is mch n. thing as food, and thnt ho must stop long enough to eat. As a rule his meals are very short ones, and many of them nro served to him while ho Is seated ut tho piano. It was In this manner that Henry Wolf sohn found him lust summer, when ha called nt Abazzto to discuss the possi bilities of en American tour. Leaning back in his chair with ono kneo resting against the piano nr.rl Improvising all tiio while, ho llstond to the plans formulated by his present manager, and talked over tho question of terms. Tho matter onto decided, Rosenthal Insisted upon drawing up the contract himself. When It was completed he showed It to one of the first legal luminaries of Vicuna with all tho pride of a boy exhibiting his first compo sition. The latter, who was spending a few days with Ri.Henthal, examined it very carefully, and pronounced It fault less. "The best lawyer In Vienna," said he, "could not ht-vo done better." Rosenthal was originally engaged for fifty concerts, but tho demand for him has been so great that tho amount has been exactly doubled. His oppcaranca at Carnegie Hall will be an event of double significance, for leader marking the first appearance of a great artlbt, It will also be tho opening of tho concert season in New York. Two days nfter his debut, Rosenthal will be tho soloist of tho Uos ton Symphony Orchestra, at tho Metro politan Opera Hou&e. On tho afternoons of November 17th nnd ISth ho will gio his first two recitals also at Carncglo Hall. Ho has been engeged to appear be foro all tho prominent musical organiza tions cf this country, including tho Now York Symphony, Chicago Symphony, Now York Lelderkranz nnd Seldl Society. Rosenthal will also bo heard in a num ber of recitals In all the leading Ameri can cities. II II II Mr. B. E. Pitts, leader of tho Lawrence orchestra, may bo numbered among tho most earnest musicians of the city. Mr. Pitts, who has been with the Lawreuco orchestra for tho past threo years, Is a graduate of the Grand Conservatory of Music of New York, nnd was for thres years connected with tho Cleveland School of Muslo ns r.n Instructor. For nearly ten years previous to coming to Scranton ho was engaged in orchestral work with traveling organizations. Ho Is ono of the first violinists of the Sym phony orchestra nnd has many violin and mandolin pupils about tho city. II II II Probably the yciirgest musical students In tho city nro Masters Ralph Haan. aged 7, and Roy Hcati, nged G, sons cf Mr. Petei Haan, of Tho Tribune, who aro receiving Instruction on the violin and mandolin from Prof. Pitts. II II II The malo voice rarty which was organ ized last Sunday in Ivorlte Hall, elected E. E. Robathan president; David J. Davis, secretary, and Lewis Davis, con ductor. Their Initial rehearsal was held on Tuesday evening, and a large numbe. of vocalists rohcarted the competitive piece which will be contested for at tha Providenco eisteddfod, "What Is Beau tiful?" Another meeting will be held to morrow at tho samo place at 3.S0 sharp. This Gleo club will be composed of tho best singing material to bo had In Weat Bcrantoi. and will bo made a permanoit organization. II II II "Roosevelt Rough Riders" is tho latest waltz composition by D. Phillips, tho po pular composer of tho "Country Club" nnd others. The composer has had an extraordinary call for the latter selection all over the United States. The "Roos-a-vclt Rough Riders" is now being printed and will bo on tale tho latter part of the month. II I' II An exchange says: "Miss Yaw, the Kansas City singer, whc.se fame rests largely on what In a popular song was called "Sister Mary Jane's top-note," Is singing In England, but has changed her name to tho less suggestive ono of Yew." This musical phenomenon seems to bo singularly unfortunato in tho mat ter of managers and ndvlaerB of late and nt tho present rato will probably soon cover up what fame she gained a season or two by tho much-talked-of high noto In which Bhe was able to excel the great est prima donnas of the age. Although many may not bo aware of the fact, Ellen Beach Yaw. or Yew, owes her fame al most entirely to tho Ingenuity of Mr Thomas IJ. Van O.-.ten, the present man ager of the Gaiety theater of Scranton. Vpon Miss Yaw's arrival In New York from the West, Mr. Van Ostcn was In duced to bec.omo her manager for n brief season. He soon discovered that In run ning tho scale she could sing several notes higher than Nllsson or Pattl. With keen foresight ho at once decided to pose tho young singer, who had no great abil ity as a vocalist, In tho form of a musical freak. He had numerous cuts made ranging from ordinary music typo to dou ble sheet fenco posters made represent ing a clef nnd bars giving the highest notes of NilEson, Pattl and Yaw, with the latter on tha top ledger lines. New York city, whero the joung singer was to nppcar. wns literally covered with th handbills, great nnd small, showing Yaw's high ncte. All musical people und critics of tho city at or.co took it for granted that this new etar had put forth claims of superiority as a singer and thcro was much speculation as to her nblllty. When tho western nightingale finally appeared thcro was invch disappointment. The singing, aside from tho phenomenal high noto. wnu, of course, ordinary, nnd the dyt:p?ptlc musical critics of New York turned their batteries of fatherly reproof upon the manager. In the midst of tho furore ono critic suddenly realised that It wns the publlo and not Mr. Van Onten who had heralded Miss Ynw us a groat singer. The manager had simply ndvor tlscd tho high noto and hid delivered the goods. Through the talk In the newnnn. pers and areuments concerning MIm Yaw's abilities the stnser secured a large (Continued on Pngo 0.
