and has the power of a subtle expression;

Sauer is a slim young man, of evident
nervous temperament, but with these same
nerves under absolute control. His abun-
dant dark hair clusters about a pale, in
teresting refined face: the gaze Is mag
netic, the pose of head and figure charae-
teristic, the general bearing that of a
conqueror. Sauer is a coBqueror. He has
subdued the art of music and his own de-
monte impulses. He plays at times like
one possessed, but his supreme taste and
mastery control enable him TO avoid ex-
cess and mere sensationalism. Exciting to
high degree is his building up of eli
makes, but he never indulges in noise, nor
in his widest flights is there missing a
noble self-restraint and repose Musicianly
in every bar he plays, there is no hint OF
the academic, nor does he bow down to
