PADEREWSKI AS A PUPIL.
CFrom the New York Press.1

From the New York Press.
When Paderewski went to Leschetiz-
ky ten years ago it was as a concert
performer who had already achieved
success in Russia and mastered an ex-
him play for awhile, and then said:
You have some bad faults, but you
have talent. You have played too many
things and nothing well enough. Your
wrist is hard and stiff. If you come to
me you must forget for six months that
you have a repertory. You must play
nothing but exercises for technique, six
hours a day for exercises, and nothing
eISe.''
The verdict was serious, and Pader-
ewski gave it serious consideration,
ending by determining to become
Leschetizky's pupil. All day long for
six months this finished concert per-
former worked away at the mechanics
of piano playing, at exercises especially
devised for him by LeSchetizky, and
some devised by himself with reference
to pecuIiarities of his own hands. Every
evening a lesson was given to him at
the professors house s a mark of spec
iaI favor, for with ordinary pupils all
lessons ended at in the afternoon.
and one lesson in two weeks was the
best that even the most proficient might
attain
One hour, two hours, three hours,
nightly lessons lasted, for Leschetizky
gives no heed to time once his serious
interest is aroused These two men
were together constantly; they took
games of billiards, both being adopts
at the game; they talked necessarily,
for Leschetizky has a fluent tongue,
and what the older man knew OF the
art of making music he gave freely to
the younger man.
This store of musical knowledge,
transmitted thus from man to man, was
a sort of sacred heritage, handed down
from the great Beethoven, for Leschet-
izky's master was Czerny, and Czerny
often declared that all he knew about
music he got from Beethoven in a few
weeks of priceless intercourse with that
greatest of all musicians
Leschetizky accorded this extreme IA
vor to Paderewski because it pleased
him to do so, and for no other reason.
The young Pole had no special influence
and little money, but he had conspieu-
Gus talent and an untiring resolution to
do the work put before him
He would have succeeded in any
thing" remarked Leschetizky, lin
painting in literature, in business, had
he made up his mind to undertake it, ;"
