When only six years old he began his
musical educ alton at the st. Petersburg
Conservatorium. He displayed such re-
marakbl precocity that his family CON
suited Anton Rubinssin, who at once
saw the spark OF genius, which he pro-
ceeded to develop. At eleven years OF
age he played Mozart concerto, with
orchestral accompaniment. and created
a sensation. His studies from that time
progressed under Prof. Toistoff OF the
conservatorium, but always directed by
Rubinstein himself. He won all the
prizes and honors Of his class. For ten
years the young student regularly wor-
shipped at the shrine OF hubinstein, at
the same time perfecting himself in all
branches of education. In 1894 he went
to Vienna,s thoroughly accomplished
gentleman and able TO speak four lam
guages fiuently. In Vienna he continued
his musical studies with Leschetizky,
became a master OF thorough bass, and
pu blished several charming plano pieces
and more ambitious compositions. His
public career really began in 1855, when
he was only twenty years old.
