The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-11-11

That Scranton is fast becoming a
musical center, is evidenced by the
way a fine concert is taken up by the
music loving public. The coming of
Leopold Godowsky to this city has
made the same stir among the stu
dents as did Rosenthal last year and
teachers and students of music are
vieing with each other in enthusiasm
This is the natural result Of the stand
taken by such institutions as the Con-
servatory, the College of Music, and
st. Cecilia's Academy, as well as our
private teachers, that a recital by a
famous artist is an essential part %. I
musical education. The effort to bring
to our city such talent as Godowsky
and Gamble with special privileges to
students, is appreciated not only by
Scrantonians but others outside, large
deleCHtions being expected from both
CaIbundale and PittStun. This is as
1t should be. With the increasing i'm
portance commercially and as a manu-
featuring center, its intellectual and .
artistic interests should SO broaden
as to draw lovers Of art and music .
here from all the surrounding towns I

forte that has ever appeared. His |
technique is more advanced than any
and his musical qualities are without 7
exception the most commanding that
/ have ever known in any pianist. This
is seen in the quality of his various
interpretations, in the mastery with
which he unravels every sort of COM
plication and the refinement and fin
ish and musical discrimination with
which the subordinate ideas of the
compositions he plays are treated. He
is also a very interesting student from
q technical point Of view. l have new
