! those fine compositions OF Beethoven and
Chopin, and Schubert-pIayed as only Ros-
enthal can play them-is an inspiration to
the student and a genuine pleasure for the
musician.
IN appearance Mr.. Rosenthal is rather
heavily built, and impresses one at once
with his sarnestness and attention 10 the
details Of bis playing. Such strength and
accuracy are rare In the pianist. and the
instrument seems fairly alive under his
masterful touch. The listener fOTgets the
name of technique, so skillfully does this
artist manage the intricacies Of the music.
From the stately allegro maestoSo OF
the Chopin Sonata. Op- IS. to the beautiful
and effective finale. the composition was

woven in a maze of musical mystery, and
how this wonderful man suTmOunts the
tremendous difficulty of playing two of
these themes at the same time is almost
beyond the comprehension of the listener.
Mr. Rosenthal concluded the number in
what was literally a blaze Of tone and
technique, and the spontaneous outburst
