pose Of giving fifteen concerts Of Chamber music in
Iodgsons Hall. No. 543 Fifth-ave. The concerts arc

are to be played in them.
Mr.. Paul de JankO's exhibition Of his new keyboard
for the panOforte last Friday evening at Chickerng
Hall has stirred up unquestOned sati0n among
musicians. Concerning the ingenuity OF the nven-
ton. and the fact that it widens the capacity Of tho
player from technical point Of view enormously,
there be two opinions. Whether o not 10 is an
unqualified blessing to music is another question: and
one, moreover, that is not so easily answered. Tho
tendency toward mechanical excellence has for % long
time held its sway over the panoforte playing vord
that the fear has often been felt that the MATER OF
music Is being pursued at the expense Of the spirit.
Is an old observation applicable to music as wei -
the fine arts that the age of "viruosity away an
ago of decadence. While this i true. Ii should no %
forgotten that emancipation from technical shachs -
essential to musical development. Mr. de Janko nay
