Seldom, indeed. do musical annals
chronicle a more inspiring event than
one which took place recently at Car
negie Hall in New York. when fourteen
great artists contributed their services
in a benefit concert for the veteran
pianist and composer, Moritz Moszkow-
ski. who now in his declining years is a
helpless invalid and in distressing finan-
cial circumstances in Paris. Some OF
these pianists came from far distant
points to pay their practical tribute to
a confrere in distress. Ossip Gabrilo-
witsca made a hurried trip from De-
troit, arriving in the afternoon and TAX
| ing a midnight train back. Josef Lhe-
| vinne managed to return to New YORK
| between two CONCERT dates AHfedo
CaSella made an equal sacrifice In order
| to do his part, while among others max
| ing the occasion a notable event were
Harold Bauer, Ernest Hutcheson. Percy
Granger and Yolande Nero There were
fourteen grand pianos on the stage, as
there were ensemble numbers In which
all the pianists participated, with wal
ter Damrosch. who was master OF - cere
monies. conducting, among these oeins
! Schubert's ''Marche Militaire," which
| opened the program. Another interest
ing feature was Schumann's Symphonic
EtHdes, each etude being played as
solo by the artists in turn. The anair
netted the substantial sum of sl5'ooo.
