afternoon, last Thursday evening. its Car

OF the pianoforte was what the hearers missed IN
it, and this the extra pieces supplied There was
sharp accentuation in the Beethoven music. as MT
Paderewski played II. particularly IN the tnaI
allegro but the scale of dynamic values was justly
chosen.
The repetition of Mr. Paderewski's symphony en-
