a vioiinist in his department Of
= musical expression as Jan Kubelik
is in his. Kreislers devotion TO the
classics is well known Where other
artists place Bach and Beethoven at the
beginning of their programs. Kreisler
places them at the end or in the mid
die of his offerings, and never fails TO
make their formal beauties clear He
loves and makes others love the archaic
forms into which he pours vivid, ro-
mantle beauty. This is because he Is
a musician hrst and a violinist next
Kubelik said to me OF Kreisler when
the former was in this city: II never
fail to hear Kreisler whenever. oppor-
tunity affords He Is giant among
yioIinists and a poet among musicians
Kreisler's mastery OF the piano IS
only one vein OF his musical outcrop-
pings He could have become as famous
among piano yirtuosi as he has among
violin had he chosen to employ the key
board as his medium OF expression IN
stead OF the bow and finger board
Among virtuosi there is only one other
player equally versatile. and that is
Harold Bauer. 1t was Paderswsh who
persuaded the latter 10 lay aside the
fiddle and the bow for the pianoforte.
but Bauer never has forgotten his vio-
lin playing in spite OF his devotion 10
the piano. Recently in London kreis-
ler and Bauer played together They
did Caesar Franks concerto. Bauer with
his violin and Kreisler at the piano.
Then they played the "Kreutzer SOnata"
and exchanged places Bauer seated
himself at the piano and kreisler stood
with his violin tucked under his chin
Both performances were remarkable,
were enthusiastically applauded by the
auditors and praised by the critics.
