 Many splendid things have been said about the playing of lgnQz Friedman, the great pianist, who is coming to Bir- mingham on March 17 as the fifth at traction of the Music Study clubs artist course. This critic claims that his | playing rises above average per formances of piano as the mighty spires of cathedral, or the domes and mina- rets of temple rise above the common roofs of work-a-day habitation. With nine-tenths of the world searching for interpreters of its own th,Rlght and feeling, it's own vast play oB emotion, it does not often find an, artist of such inbOrn, and yet such developed powers. | So great are the gifts of this artist that it is difficult to think of them but in terms of romance difficult to pat off the feeling of unreality and make sure that he is living, breathing, working thinking. He makes one feel that the art of music is a conservation. | u,E.. yE,...LIu TfU.f
