was first sketched in Paris in 1876 and
completed the same year on the COM
poser's return TO Moscow. The elegiac
idea underlying the work finds its main
expression in the sorrow laden chords
of the opening andante and funeral
march which succeeds the bright allie
gretto scherando. A jubilant finale
contradicts the sense of fatality so pro-
nounced in the rest of the work.

What Pianists Think of Pianofortc

For the ordinary amateur there are
few things so interesting as to hear an
artist discourse on his art. Apprecl-
ating this, evidently. James Francis
Cooke. editor Of the "Etude.' has gath
ereI series of personal interviews or
conferences from living pianists, with
the purpose Of presenting the most
modern ideas upon the subjects Of
technique, Interpretation, style and eN-
preston in pianoforte playing. Gut OF
these he has made a readable and IN

theoretic interest, but is also OF prdc'
teal value"
She adds: "The difficulty OF comprc-
hending the full import Of music writ

fact that the signs representing the
conceptions of the composer are vafl-
