Of interest to music lovers:

Hebrew parentage. He showed mu.
steal p~recocity at the age of 3; and
entered the conservatory. studying
principally with SasonoR. at IL. 80
rapid were his strides that he appear
as concert soloist with the symphony
Beethoven's Fifth" the so-called
:Emperor concerto with such con-
summate art that Rubinstein became
greatly impressed and at once deeply
interested in his young countrynar.
.'Lhevinna states that n of the
most treasured memories Of his life
that concert. He renenn-
bered we'll the strain he. was under,
overwhelmed by the honor conferred.
He knew that Rubinstein and Tschai-
kowsky were in the audience. Finally,
when the performance was success
fully v Lhevinne was still further
overwhelmed to have Rubinstein am

Very good, very good. Work hard.
You will make q name in the world.
But said he. after q. moments hesi-
tation, your name must be changed.

"This concern and its remarkable
success were the turning point in the
young artists career, and he soon be-
came world-renowned. In 1895 he
won the Rubinsteln prize, the highest
honor obtainable by pianists in Eu-

was a round of triunaphs. Don follow
ed by five tours to America. including
Cuba and Mexico, where he was
greeted always with the greatest en-
thusiasm. He is now in the states for

Whatever other plans Josef Lhe.
vinne made in connection with his
present visit to America. one thing
was positive and that was that his
wife and child should come with him.
Ills wife has done much to advance
her talented husbands career, while

pride.
