WIZARD OF PEDALS
Today His Art Has All the
Heroic Grandeur OF
the Epic.

NT HEN an artist becomes by gem
w eral consent standard by
which all other artists of the same
kind are judged and graded, 1t means
but one thing-that he is indisput-
ably supreme. Such a position Pad
erewski. who appears at Tulsa Con-
vention hall on February 3, 1916,
under auspices of the Spindler con-
servatory of music, has held for the
twenty odd years in which his playing
has enchanted the peoples of five
continents.
This is said in nOwise derogatOry to
the many great pianists who are doing
their share to foster the love of music
throughout the world. 1t Is but an
other illustration of the relentless law
of selection and elimination, which.
working, perhaps uncOnsciously, in
the mind of the public, gives final
place in history to the artist and his
work.

it is an instrument Of percussion.
And of this art he is still the unap-

extraordinarily .ensitive touch and
his skill in the use of pedals has
made him unique among pianists of
our time.
With the years that have passed
since he won his first triumphs,
Paderewski, true artist that he is,
has grown greatly broadened much.
At first his art was distinguished
chiefly by its exquisite lyric beauty.
Today it has the heroic grandeur of
the epic. Where once it enticed, now
it commands; yet that same lyric
