can aspire to traverse the glorious and
dignifed course of our best virtuosos,
whose number is now indeed limited
He possesses all the qualities requisite
in reaching the zenith of an illustrious
career toward which he is now steadily
progressing. His natural inclination
for the choicest, and his vigor and
strength of touch are the absolute es-
sentials of a great pianists qualifca-
lions. His action and manner at the
piano are free from all affectation and
pretense, his technique being delight
fully clear and elegant; he is verify a
lover of the piano, overlooking with
exquisite delicacy and passion.

extraordinary brilliancy.
THE MUSICA OF ROME.
This young pianist's concert yester-
day has marked one OF the most signifi-
cant musical occasions in this city. The
most critical and conservative musical
public present testified voluntarily to
this by means of a demonstration and
applause that is seldom evinced in must
cal circles. Fabbrini is a pianist of an
exceptional ability, endowed with great
strength, large technique and fine
sense of value"

interpretative capacity in the music Of
Chopin and List that equals that of
any other pianist heard in our city.
MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL Gin a joint re-
cital with Kubelik).
eff there was some disappointment
over Kubelik there was genuine enthu-
siasm over Fabbrini, the young Italian
pianist, who succeeded in winning de-
served success by his intelligent and
highly artistic playing. The amazing
ly difficult Mephisto Waltz by List
was taken at a furious tempo and play
ed with enormous power.
NEW YORK MUSICAL COURIER.
''The concerto which Signor Fabbrini
elected to play with the orchestra was
the Rubinstein D minor and in the
brilliant performance of the work he
was able to show not only his remark
able technical proficiency, but in the
sauve passages depth of poetic feel
ing wherein lies the real value, the i'm
aginative and individual quality of his
/ playing

''Signor Fabbrini proved to be a sane
and musicianly pianist of exceedingly
high attachments. His first appearance
brought forth a group of Chopin num-
bers, which were read in a manner de-
noting a master mind. His technique
is such that he is well able to transmit
the nobility of his thought. The last
group which the pianist offered con-
tanned the E fiat minor 'Intermezzo, ,
by Brahms; Debussey's Garden in the
Rain; a 'Scherzo' by Martucci and the
'Staccato Etude' by Rubenstein.
Throughout the playing of these num-
bers he brought from his instrument a
fine sonorous tone in the bravoura pas
sages, and there were rare dignity and
sp.endor in every line"
