Enteled at the Milford, Mass., Post Ollice, as second class matter. How To Become a Virtuoso In a Comparatively Short Time Without Effort. (Editor’s note: The following article is penned by one who has been known, in the musical world, to have carried Professor ' Trebleclefsky’s music satchel and cane for a period of over ten years. It must be remembered, there¬ fore, that he speaks with unparalleled authority and experience. Earnest stu¬ dents should take heed and observe all such invaluable and flawless advice and apply it to both their private and public appearances.) I he constant requests from musical magazines as well as newspapers, beg¬ ging me to offer its readers some professional advice on how to become a virtu¬ oso, leads me to this writing. I have found the general public so charming and responsive, in touring with my Maestro this season, that I cannot refrain Horn considering it my duty to repay them for their hearty and generous co-opera¬ tion. tor is it not they who indirectly recompense me? As my moments are limited, I shall not lose time in introducing myself, but trust that the readers are already acquainted with one so justly celebrated. The object of this writing is not to metamorphose anyone into a Paderewski ora mighty Liszt after he has lead it, but to unfold to him the secrets and ways of many virtuosi and thus en¬ able him to eliminate much time and energy. As to the art of piano playing or more correctly that of piano banging, | there are three chief branches to which one must attend, viz: (i), personal j chaim, ( 2 ), technique, ( 3)1 gesticulation. Of these three, the latter might ap- • pear to the reader to be superfluous, but on investigation we find it to be an es- ‘ sential contributor to success. As to personal charm and attractiveness, I shall • speak of the dress and manners in appearing on a stage for solo work. Never v eai am thing that is in style. A black dress suit in which your arms may
