"It was pure accident that I became a pianist," aald he. "I went to Pari. In 1892, without any idea of changing my instrument, and at once set about getting engagements in concert. With out friends, and with little or no monev. I did not find much opportunity, and had to resign myself to giving violin lesson.. During thl. time, however, I waa working away at the tlano en ama. teur, .Imply wllHIhe object of develop- my musical education.
