are usually found In billy sections and

It is not for want of appreciation. respect and
admiration for many of the piansts Of to-day
that I choose TO end my survey of pianoforte
plav ers with Rubinstein and Hans Won Buow
1S3o-9N. Of them it is possible to take a
view which shall have proper historical per-
| spective. A discussion OF the living, however,
would of necessity have in it much Of personal
| equation Unlike the virtuosi Of the pre-LisZt-
| ian period the pianists Of the present day pre-
sent themselves prominently as interpreters
| of the music of the master composers and not
of their own; and in this fact there lies merit
the only uualifica ton Of which arises from the
| fact that so few of them are in a high sense
creative artists In it, also, lies tribute to
| the taste of the public of to-day: and every
PLAYER who aims to maintain high standard Of
appreciation deserves we'll in the thoughts or
| the unsteady cultured. 1t cannot mar the
reputation of any of the living, however, to say
| that Rubinsten and Dr. Won Bulow loom above
| them all as recreative artists.
OF the players to whom the older generation
| of to-day has listened Rubinstein was the most
| ELOQUENT and moving. He was in the highest
degree subjective and emotional, his manner
Ieonine and compelling His prodigious technical
skill seemed to give him as little concern as
it did his listeners, who were as intent on taxing
in the full of his outpourins as he was in giving
| it The technical side of DR.. Won BuloWs play
ing was forced into greater prominence because
| of his pronounced objectiyity; yet there was
| wonderful delight in his playing for all who
found intellectual and aesthetic pleasure in
clear convincing, symmetrical and logical pres
entations of the composers thoughts DR.. Bic
has hit him off in his chief capacity capitaly:
| When he gave public recitals he did not,
| like RIbinstein, crowd a history Of the pia no
| into few evenings. He took by preference
| single author, like Beethoven, and played only
! the last five sonatas or he unfoded the whole
| of beethoven in four evenings. He would have
| preferred to play every piece twice Great
| craftsman rs he was, he hated all haf-Hghts
nd celebrations; he pointed his pencil very fine
