rjg tlous initials If they desire to lemaln entltcly unknown. ST:
Cl. W. T. 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

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

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

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.

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

much speculation as to her nblllty.
