One of the most consummate masters of the piano at the present time is Ignace Jan
Paderewski. Those who were privileged to hear him during his first season in this
country will never forget the experience. The Polish artist conquered the new world
as he had conquered the old; his name became a household word, known from coast
to coast; he traveled over our land, a Prince of Tones, everywhere welcomed and
honored. Each succeeding visit deepened the admiration in which his wonderful art
was held.

The question has often been raised as to the reason of Paderewski’s remarkable hold
on  an  audience;  wherein  lay  his  power  over  the  musical  and  unmusical  alike.
Whenever he played there was always the same intense hush over the listeners, the
same absorbed attention, the same spell.
