five years the Continent. Miss Book entered
the Stuttgart Conservatorium. and later completed
her studies under Franz Liszt. Since then she has
given concerts in all the principal capitals of Europe
where she won for herself most brilliant reputa-
ton. The Frankfort Zestung spoke of her with
pleasant enthusiasm:-" Book played pieces
from Chopin. Beethoven. schumann and Rubinstein
with power and endurance and with such accuracy
and comprehension that easily understand
why she could excite to such degree the erthusi-
ssm of the Vienna and Paris musical public" III

''The young artist created the greatest astonish-
ment ON account of her brilliant technique Her
power and endurance indeed extraordinary and

that almost pianist of fair pretensions ob-

them do not get heard second time and the mere
fact of Miss Books having received number OF

might in themselves have recommended her to the
favorable attention of the composer But Nile Bock
