Harold Bauer is taking the east by
storm. A critic says of his first con-
cert in New York city:
New York has heard all kinds OF
pianists this season, ranging In variety
from the pianissimist De Pachman to
the pounding Paderewski and from
the scholastic Schelling to the temporal
mental Bloomfield Zeisler. No player,
however, has given more pleasure than
the listeners experienced at Bauer's
two hours of piano music last week.
This musician extraordinary, who was
a great violinist before he became a
great pianist, regards the keyboard as
something more than merely a mechan-
ical medium for the reproduction of
carefully practiced plano music. His
sense of tone color, acquired In his
former capacity as string player, is
naturally much more acute than that
nf "a 90 MIC fafc he
fected a union of pedal and tone effects
whereby his media of expression en-
brace many nuances not generally
drawn from instruments of percussion.
Even in a technical way Bauer de-
velops some resources that are abso-
lutely novel, and his sum total of dig
ital dexterity is such that no style or
school of piano music seems to be out
of his reach
