MUSICAL COMMENT.

One of the greatest piano virtuosi of the
century, Vladimir de Pachman, was never
the pupil Of such distinguished men as
Aszt, Tausig, Henselt, Rubinstein or
Won BuloW. The reason is patent he Is
great, and, In several instances, better
than any Of the names mentioned, his
technic being rivaled by one man, Karl
Tausig Technically, De Pachmann has
no superior today, for, while he lacks
the muscularity of Rosenthal, his tonal
graduation is almost miraculous. He plays
with the keyboard. performing wonders
with nonchalance that Is almost in
human. But to offset his phenomenal
dtgitaf deXterity are his beautiful mu-
steal touch and poetic conception. He
is the greatest Chopin player al1ve-of
certain moods Of Chopin. The slavic
norbidezza polish, daintiness, .diabolical
languors and coquetry are perfectly ex
emplified in his playing. This season he
purposes displaying his versatility, so we
shall hear sundry works of Weber, Men
delssohn and Schumann. De Pachmann
plays the Invitation to the Valse," and
the A fiat sonata of Weber is bewil-
deringly fascinating. way. He has i'm
proved since his first appearance here
in $780, improved on the side of rhyth-
micat steadiness, tonal breadth and in
terpretatlVe sanity, and his music, his
tone, his octaves and double notes, his
trills and scales are as beautiful i'm quail
ity as ever.
Vladimir de Pachmann was born July
q, 1848, at Odessa, but does not nearly
look his age. He studied with his father,
and in 1866, with Dachs, at Vienna. Since
then with no one, although List asked

LECTURE ON PARIS.
Mr.. BurweIps Talk Illustrated by
Sfereonticon Views.

StereODttcOn Views.
Mr.. Basil Burwell gave talk on paris
and the Exposition of 1907 to q good au-
dience yesterday morning in the parlor
of the Aberdeen. His lecture was illus
trated by excellent stereopticon pictures,
which he took himself during the past
summer in Paris. He carried his hearers
through the familiar streets to the prin-
cipal buildings and churches and out to
the Bots de Boulogne. Many of his
views were colored and original, and not
to be seen among the pictures Usually
shown Of Paris. Mr.. Burwell told Of the
exposition, its location, and showed as
many pictures as he could obtain of the
partly furnished buildings. He also gave
the audience many hints which will be of
value to those intending a visit to the
exposition next year. Mr. Burwell is an
easy talker and knows his subject well,
having become thoroughly familiar with
Paris and It's environs during his sum-
mer's visit 1t is hoped that he will re-
peat the lecture in place larger and
more suited for a good display of the
pictures than is the Aberdeen. Mr.. Bur-
well is lecturing under the auspices of

Chopin players
He appeared in Boston the other even

most fashionable audience of the sea-
son He had triumph such as Is rarely
given to any man, for the people of
that staid old music loving town were
rapturous over him. The newspapers of
Boston are notably conservative, but the
next morning De Paehmann was the hero
of them all, Wilder D. Quint, one Of the
first of critics, writes over his name in
the Traveller as follows:
The Pachmann of today is unique and
charming. He puts to flight the memory
Of every other pianist who has PLAYED

to do but give himself to the witchery
