The flame Of the one candle sputtered 6tfully and
presently went out. The youth slipped over and
threw open the shutters As the moonlight flooded
the room, the pianist paused.

first few bars of his Sonata in F.
Beethoven burst from the lips of the pair. ooh,

listeners if the Spirit Of n6niy come down the
path of moonlight and stood by their side, whispering
of the things that are forever and forever.
Vain warnings and thoughts of toll and tthes were

II NeeC effect

1t may be Of especial interest to
mention that in connection with the
Duo-Art there has been developed of
late, half-pcdal effects never before
attempted by any other player-piano
manufacturers.
This new effect creates a trans
parency of tone which adds great
charm to music of certain kind.
As an example the newly finished
"Sanctuary" by Dvorsky offers an
opportunity of observing the tonal
effects produced by the full and half
pedals. For demonstrating the ex-
tremc possibilities of Rubato playing,
fScriabinc's "Pocmc" serves as a good
example.

of rhythmic and dynamic effects.
AS can be gathered from a study OF
the qualities demanded by these three

gamut of musical expression the Duo-Art
commands, the musical result Of which
cannot fail to please the layman as well
as the hyper-critical connoisseur. -------'-.

make it possible to obtain effects
