PADEREWskps TOUR 1e13-1e1

An unusual mental grip on things is
not the only grip that Paderewski
possesses. Years Of practice at the
piano have given him a grip which
could easily crush any but the strong
est and hardest hand. The muscles
Of his arms are like steel whip cords
and the trick of tearing in two a pack
of cars is one of the easiest tasks that
can be given him. Tremendously de-
veloped, too, are the striking muscles
in his back and shoulders. If it were
not for fear Of injuring his hands he
could strike a blow of which even
FftZsimmOns would be proud.
These muscles, however, are not the
bunchy muscles Of the athlete. They
are beautifully supple and free and,
of course, are under a perfection Of
control which no athlete can hope to
secure. The secret of Paderewski's
wonderful touch, his exquisite singing
tone" is found III his control of his
muscles of his arms, shoulders and
back n whether he strikes a key
merely with a finger or with the full
force of his arms he Is certain of the
power he puts into it to the smallest
degree. Thus he secures from the
piano those dynamic gradations from
a whispering pianissimo to a thunder
ing fortissimo which are the envy and
despair of all others of his craft.
