gram to be presented by the National
Symphony Orchestra, Hans Kinder,
conductor, ut Constitution Hall next
Sunday afternoon at 4 O'Clock.
Josef Lhevinne Is one Of the greatest
masters Of the piano, and his appear
ance here Is considered an outstand-
ing event in musical circles. The story
of his career, Ike that Of all famous
artists, Is colorful and unique. His
father was horn player in the Royal
Opera, Moscow. Their home was IN
q small suburb. It's humble furnish
ings included no piano. A relative
owned one, however, and to save
storage elsewhere, put it in the Lhe-
vinne home. Little Josef's fingers
often crept lovingly over the keys.
Observing this, his father put him to
q musical test, and the results proved
astonishing talent, one trait Of which
was an uncanny sense OF absolute
pitch.
Fate makes way for a genius. At 8

the boy played in public. His aim was
the conservatory. Again fate helped.
A wealthy man, who heard him play,
volunteered to bear the expense there.
At IT he graduated from that famous
institution with first honors.
Then came tremendous adventure
in the mounting career Of Josef Lhe-
vinne. The immortal Anton Rubin
stein, who had been filled with ardor
on hearing him in concert, adopted
the young pianist as his pupil. Pres
emily, Lhevinne entered a contest for
the Rubinstein prize, and won 1t
against IS noted contestants. Fol-
lowing this he toured Europe tri-
umphantly in concert.
The advent of Lhevinne in America
was one marked by continuous sue.
cess. His debut aroused sensation
that resulted in an annual visit to
concertize in this country, until, with
the outbreak of the World War, he
was interned in Germany. The re-
turn of Lhevinne to America was cell
ebrated at the opening of the season
Of 1919, at the New York Hippodr rome,
and awakened a tremendous demon
stration. Since then he has con.
certified each season in the United
States, Canada, Mexico and Havana.
