Sarasattl, with his snow-white hair

on sale weeks but he lacks power to hold the attention three. He draws as beautiful a tone as
of his audience. He Is a Frenchman
who copied the German school. The re
sult Is that his playing has no individ
uality, no thrill.
Krelsler. like Ysaye, has no peer
among men of his age. Hia technic and
interpretation are the work of a mas

year he has never been popular with
the Rerlln public. This season he re

Hartmann llk Riley has caught the re

has many much more pretentious
things. He, himself Is especially en
thusiastic over his MacPowell tran
scriptions which are so very popular.
He showed us a most appreciative
letter he had received from Mrs. Muc
Howell. expressing her sincere grati
tude for the assistance rendered the
MacPowell fund. She also sent bim
the original manuscript of "To a Will

His Student Days.
In his student days he lived In the
same house with Krelsler. Godowsky
and Pe Pachmann. Naschez has Just
completed a concerto which Hartmann
is to play On his American tour. Critics
pronounce it the best concerto produced
for violin for years.
Hartmann is a successful teacher. He
believes one must develop the "thinn
ing, man
ant with all that is good and beautl
ful in art, literature, science and mu
sic, before one can absorb the best In
any special line. He Insists on his
pupils reading all they can and forces
well-selected booXs into their hands.
He studies and analyzes their eccen
tricities and personal shortcomings,
teaching each as an individual. The
result Is that, pupils have come to him
from all the masters of Germany,
Ysaye, Sevcek, Joachim. Halle and
others as well recognized, included.
Taken all In all there is no more
thorough. musician. and none with
greater promise for immortality than
this man now on the threshold of life.
For years he has devoted his energy
to gleaning knowledge with what con
centration of purpose one may Judge
