MUSICAL MEMORIES.
Remarkable Tests of Bulow and Rubin

stein-Patti Knew 40 Operas.
Possibly the greatest case on rec
ord is that wonder of wonders, the
most intellectual of interpreters, the
late DR.. Hans Won Bulow, says Music.
He not only played all of Beethoven by
heart upon the piano, but knew all
the symphonies in the same manner,
and practically the whole Wagnerian
output of musical metal, and 1t was
claimed that so great was the mass of
piano music which Bulow retained
within the book and volume of his
BRAIN" inscribed in mysterious hero
glyphics somewhere among the mole
cules of the gray matter constituting
the cortex of his cerebral organ, that
he could have played twenty-five piano
recital programs without repeating
and without a printed page. Since
there go about 1000 measures to the
hour, and two solid hours to an ordi-
nary Bulow program, this would rep
resent 100000 measures of music, or
about 1000 large pages, something
like eight Vi lcll IHlCh NOluAhCos ANSh
Bulow was outdone by Rubinstein. in
the field of piano music at least, if we
can trust the anecdote mongers, for it
is claimed that in one season at st.
Petersburg he played series Of re-
citals which exhausted the literature
of the piano and embraced 1900 dis
tinct compositions. 1t is mentioned of
Mendelssohn that on one occasion, the
score of Beethoven's Sixth Sym
phony" having been misplaced, he
raised his baton and directed the work
from memory, but this does not seem
to me a feat in the least remarkable,
for the Pastoral Symphony is so ex-
tremely lucid and so bewitchingly
beautiful that the only thing difficult
or remarkable would be the forgetting
of it, Nine. Patti knew forty opera
roles. and Varesi, the barytone, knew
