Artists Of the type of Clara Louise
Kellogg and Emma Thursby were
happy to have him concertized with
them on the same stage. The boy,
however, determined to study, for a
while at least, with List, who was at
that time at Weimar. But to his
great sadness and disappointment,
upon his arrival in Europe he learned
that List just died. By that time
Camille Saint Saens, the famous
French Jewish composer pianist,
learned of Godowsky and was only
too happy to take him under his per-
sonal care. His good fortune did not
last very long for Saint-Saens' rest
less spirit took him to foreign coun-
tries and Godowsky was again left
without a master. He commenced
shifting for himself, and in 1900 made
his first appearance in Berlin. He was
acclaimed the master technician of
the world. 81 'tEt1
Godowsky is practically self
taught artist. Today he stands alone
as the greatest virtuoso of the piano.
He has no equal.
Minneapolis is very fortunate to
get the opportunity to hear him. No

beautiful things in life should fail to
attend this concerto. H. A. G,>

l. Leopold Godowsky, the Superman
of piano playing, will appear in con-
cert this evening at the First Baptist
Church.
Mr.. Godowsky is not merely piano
virtuoso, he is a Chopin, doubled by
a Contrapuntalist, Bach and Chopin.
His playing is transcendental; his
piano compositions the transcendent-
alism of the future. He is mir
acle worker. His ten digits are ten
independent voices recreating the an
cient polyphonic art of the Flemings.
The beauty Of his touch and tone are
only matched by the delicate adjust
ment of his phrasing to the larger
curve of the composition. Nothing
musical is foreign to him; he is a
pianist for pianists and is recognized
as such. He is the greatest creator
of rhythmic values since List.
Leopold Godowsky was born in the
ancient town of Vino, the capital of
Lithuania, on February Is, 1870, and
showed great aptitude for music at
the age of three. His parents were
old-fashioned Jews and at first hest
tated, but later determined, to giva
him musical education. When he
was 9 years old he appeared in his
first public concert in the largest aud
itorium of Vino. The critics imme-
diately pronounced him a genius. Of
fers of assistance from all sources
commenced to pour in; and as re-
suit he was sent to the Hochschule in
Berlin: But, evidently he had dein-
lite opinion of music even at that early
age for, he found the instructions so
dull and conventional that he decided
