Having exhausted the adjectives In the
dictionary about the series Of trio con-
certs which Ysaye. Godowsky. and Ger
ardy are to give in America this season,
several musicians have entitled these
three mighty ones 'The Musical Giants.
II has been announced that the con-
certs by the trio viii be devoted to pro-
grams to suit all classes. This will
mean meat to strong men. but the con-
certs will likewise prove the greatest
lessons to the thousands Of students and
music teachers In the country. The
coming of the trio has been hailed as
the .'event extraordinary" and II Ii
surely that, and much more.
Ysaye and Godowsky were here last
year. and their return this winter 10
due to the demands that have been re.
cefved by r. e. Johnston, MANAGER OF
the musical giants" Jean Geraroy' tne
Belgian 'cellist, has not been In America
