, Rosenthal has come,; played and conquered. What a virtuoso he is- what a.
wonderfuh piano the matchless Weber is. There is no one today probably never
has been,' and likely never will be another who has his prodigious and prestigious
. command of the pianoforte. The thundering force, the tender bloom of his vari-
jegated tone coloring, the pearly and lucid clarity-of his playing, the faultless and
bewildering technique, the infallible surety, electrified -and astounded the greatest ;
audience of musicians and music-lovers ever assembled in this 'city.".. V - .
- Second only to Rosenthal's brilliant playing was the triumph of the Weber piano
the instrument personally chosen by. the great Rosenthal 'in preference to all
others to be the medium of his wonderful art. Never has a piano received such
a supreme test and never has an instrument responded so nobly to. every command,
whim and mood of the artist as the Weber last evening.-:- ,-' - '
- t , Several years ago the Weber was merely known as one of the leading standard
pianos. But the marvelous advancement in construction, tone and durability, has ;
:r resulted in the Weber piano today being .;';' ,l ', s ' ' ' " '
recognized both in Europe and America as' '. '":y ;i;:-': -'" c-v ' ; ; ' V '
. the foremost pianoforte of the day. . -,
The Weber was destined W lead. The t
1 old artistic standard has been superseded
and a new and higher ideal has, been estab
lished in the piano world. , . . ; :
The world's greatest artists (several of
whose testimonials appeared recently in this
' , paper.), who formerly. tised "Pianos of Qual- J
ity," are today all using and singing the --
praises of the "Piano of Highest Quality" - -'
the incomparable Weber and it is rapidty
replacing other makes Jn the courts of
Europe, in the mansions of the wealthy and ,
the highest artistic circles everywhere.
