great proficiency on that Instrument
before he devoted himself to the piano.
"It was pure accident that I became

"Regarding a letter received by the
Musical Courier concerning, the key in
which Krelsler plays the Dvorak Hu
more.que,' we would say that we are
willing to argue the question with the
writer If he or she or It will send his
or her or Its name. If letters are not
considered worthy of signature thev
certainly ar not worth an answer."
So th Courier evidently haa Its trou
bles too with people who are not brave
enougn to come out in tne open witn
their difference, of opinion. Those who
seek id destroy the peace of mind of
tneir enemies vy sucn means ar 11 Ke

tim, no chanc. They steal noon them
and catch them unsuspecting and have
don their evil. work without srlvlna- anv
chanc for retaliation. - v .
