Eugen d'Albert will make his first
public appearance in New York for if
teen years on Tuesday and on the fol-
lowing Monday, Jan. 80, will give his
recital in Minneapolis in the First Bap-
fist church. This will be one of the
notable events of the winter, as DIAL
bert is ranked in Europe as the great
est living pianist and the worthy sue
cessor Of Rubinstein and List. At his
New York concert he will appear with
Ysaye, and they will play together
Beethoven 8 HKreutzer Sonata The
two artists will take turns in leading
the orchestra, each welding the baton
for the others solo number with the
orchestra.
The announcement Of d ALBERT s COM
ing has created great stir among mu-
sicians and his wonderful achievements
are being much talked Of. The pre-
eminent place that he occupies comes
as little surprise to those who do not
try to keep in close touch with Euro
pean musical regulations. This is due
to the fact that d'Albert has evinced
no disposition to be persuaded to take
another American tour.
!. His present visit. is quite likely to be
his last, altho he is a man just in his
prime and Minneapolis is very for
tunate to secure date in his limited
itinerary. & s.
While d'Albert's range t*of interpre-
tation, includes the whole literature of
the pianoforte he is pre-eminent as a
Beethoven authority. For this reason
the inclusion in his Minneapolis pro-
very great interest. The entire program
