new artists who are to make their de-

Winifred Byrd, pianist, whose Aeloian
hall recital is scheduled to take place
on December the seventeenth. Miss
Byrd is a native Of the west and was
still in her teens when she won a schOl-
arship at the New England conserva-
tory of music, where she studied with
the late Carl Baermann. Later she
went to Europe, where she remained
for several years, studying with some
of the most eminent teachers, among
whom the late Teresa Carreno, took an
especial interest in the young artist.
When Miss Byrd began the study of
piano her hands were the size Of a
child s, fingers missing the octaves by
two notes. However, she devised all
sorts Of ealistenics and exercises, which
might add TO the breadth of her palms
and the length Of her fingers. Miss
Byrd, it is said, is not a slave to any
particular school or style, although she
has made a special study Of Chopin.

been booked for the. young pianist, by
