be most welcome news. But for
those slightly more ambitiouSly
inclined, 1t might be we'll to re-
member Prof. Phelps remark that
as soon as he gets to heaven-and
this seems to be a sort of a priori
concluSion-he will order a grand
piano and devote himself to 1t
for the first million years. For
which his motto might be Live
and then-learn."
I UNEXPECTEDLY, out of the
emptiest of voids comes one
of those news items that boosts
the Washington musical season
up into the very high per cents.
The promised return to this city
of Poland'S erstwhile premier
pianist composer statesman, Pa
derewski, is the proudest feather
so far in the cap of his manage
rial sponsors. Both George Engles,
his personal representative, and
Mrs. WilSon-Greene, who have in
weighed the great pianist down to
these Shores-long forsaken on
account of political misgivings-
deserve a loud and spirited cheer
Of thanks. Frequent as this splen-
did artists American farewell
tours" have been, as many con-
certS as this sensational personal
ity has offered during his 80 years
of playing in this country, there
never has been time when he
wouldn't have been welcomed with
eager anticipation by music low
erS. Now, after what seems like
a long while, his return is the sig
nal for what, as always, should
be something of an ovation. His
concert will, of course, be one of
the highest of the high lights dur
ing the coming season.
FOR the first time in this coun-
try, Wagner's "Meistersinger"
will be presented in Washington
in the English language during
the coming Winter
A shy, modest, extremely prom
inent musician has volunteered
this information with the aSsur-
ance that, backed by group of
music lovers, these festival per-
formanceS" of "Meistersinger's are
to be performed by better than
first-class soloistS, a choir of $50
local singers and others who
might help the progreSsions of an
opera. All this, though nebulous
in the extreme, is novelty that
will be we'll worth watching for.
Soon, it is said, the publicity gun
will go off telling all about it.

Berlin. She sang the role of Martha
years ago in Germany and has been re-
studying the part during her vacation.

ception That was when he played at
an American Legion benefit at Polls
Theater, during the Coolidge admins
tration.
During the intervening time many
prominent Washington people have
tried to convert the great Pole to a
change of heart concerning concert APP
pearanceS here. 1t was represented to
him that owing TO night appearances
in Baltimore, it worked a serious hard
ship on Washington music lovers, who
had to travel to the Maryland city to
hear him and that his refusal to play
in Washington might be misinterpreted
if longer persisted in. This sudden de-
cision to abandon his former policy of
not playing here and to include Wash
ington as well as Baltimore in his
1901 itinerary will be heartily APP
plauded by all music lovers here.

Friend of Brahms Coming
To Teach in Washington

THE announcement made today, that
Sigismond Stojowski. noted COM
poser pianist, a pupil of Paderewski and
a friend of many famed musicians, Is
TO come to Washington during the
coming Winter as guest teacher at the
Washington College of Music. is an
event Of more than local interest among
the current music world.
Stojowski, whose compositions are
internationally known, who has num-
bered Brahms among his most intimate
friends. and who was making public
appearances as a skilled piano maestro
when he was only boy, will come to
this city late in october to take up his
new work.
A native Of Poland this we'll known
composer has had not only varied,
but a stimulating life. At the age OF
16 he left his home country, where
already he had made name for him
self on the concert stage playing his
own compositions. went to Paris and
studied at the Sorbonne, at the same
time applying himself to music at the
Conservative Rationale. 1t was here
that he came to the attention of Leo
Delibes and Cesar Frank, both OF whom
urged him to compete for the Prix de
Rome--the latter also urging him TO
Join his organ class at the Conserva-
toire. 1t was, however, Paderewski. at
this time that nodded his musical
career more than anybody, and taught
him really the path in which he
should go.
Stojowski's first Paris concert in
1891, consisting exclusively of his own
compositions, attracted much atten-
ton among musical friends, including
Lalo, Saint-Saens and TschaikoWsky.
The latter later selected his First Or
chestral Suite for a program OF young
composers, which he planned to con-
duct in st. Petersburg
On a trip to Vienna, Stojowski met
and played for Brahms, who became
so interested in the young composer

ONE of the biggest surprises and
pleasantest bits of news that the
musical season is likely to offer is the
announcement that Ignace Jan Pad
erewski, one of the greatest of living
pianists, will appear in concert here in
Washington at Constitution Hall on
Wednesday afternoon, November 26, at
4:30 o'clock, under the management of
Mrs Wilson Greene.
In announcing Paderewski's coming,
Mrs. Wilson Greene also calls atten-
ton TO the fact that owing to a change
in dates the great Polish pianist will
be presented as the first and opening
attraction of the Philharmonic series
of afternoon concerts at Constitution
Hall.
Ever since Paderewski resumed his
musical career, following his notable ex-
cursion into Polish political activities
at the time of the World War, 1t has
been almost musical axiom that he
would not play in Washington, as 1t
was understood he entertained certain
scruples against appearing here as
concert artist
Several times since the war, Pad
erewski has played as close to Wash
ington as Baltimore, but he has con-

AN artist of the front rank whom
Washington is thoroughly familiar
with, Oscar Seagel is to come to this
city again this year to serve as guest
teacher at the King-Smith Studio
School. The oscar Seagel Colony at
Schroon Lake, N. Y, after a most pro-
pitious season, will close October and
Mr.. Seagel will then go to New York
for the Fall and Winter, coming at
regular intervals TO Washington.
A particularly interesting bit of news
which concerns both the well known
teacher and the King Smith School is
that Mr.. Seageps daughter will be here
in Washington for the regular school
session. If rumor be correct-and it's
more than a rumor in this case-it
seems that Miss Seagel has voice OF
something more than average quality
and is fast following in the footsteps
of her famous father.
One of Mr.. SeagePs prominent pupils
many Of whom have been in Wash
ington-is John Boles, who appeared
here, as the cinema says, in person, .
late last Spring.
