ARTIST AND COMPOSER.

Amusing Meeting Between LisEt and

The memoirs Of VerestchaGin, the
Russian artist, contain an amusing &C.
count Of an evening with Liszt the IA

In the artists honor. Several Of the
masters beautiful and talented pupils
were present and treated him like q

tions by patting them on the cheek.

bestowing a smacking kiss, generally
on the head. verestchagin kept hop
Ing that "the master" would play,
though he had been warned that he
rarely did SO. At last Liszt seated
himself at the piano and struck few
chords. but, instead Of playing, he turn

play anythinG?" mo. monsieur. l do

moving aleng and making room for
Veretchagin beside him. The latter
began to pick out waltzss with two

VerestchaSin playing thus. the same
things over and over. until he was near

be confessed that this was pretty good
practice for the pupils and great fun
for LisSt. but As lbs victim remarks,
II can now boast that not only have
played duets with Liszts best pupils,
but even with Liszt himself" That Is
certainly far more than many OF the
Bo-ca1sd. the self-styled pupils Of

said to rest In many cases upon the
fact that Li0t once heard them play
