which had been preceded by eulogies
from Europe in which he had been
hailed as a superhuman combination
of Rubenstsin. ROsenthal Paderewski,
Busoni and about every other pic
turesque and prominent pianist of to-
day and yesterday. The heralding was
almost too much, Later. the young
Russian pianist confessed to Conductor
Hans Kinder, who made an extended
concert tour with him. playing joint

"a years had he been so nervous as on
the night of January II, 1923, when

to extravagant lengths to celebrate the
playing of this Extraordinary young
pianist. Washington concert-goers will
remember the tremendous ovation he
received here when he played the
Tschaikovsh concerto last season.
Cynics have waited in vain for the

recovering from the thrill of his viz
tuosity, have hunted for more superla-
tiveS to describe his musicianship.
