THE COLOR VALUE i u

My first musical instruction was de

school, She began :!julal training
with me when I was hut fife yearn old.
hut finding this ageJ to tender, after
jme time, aj lowed tw additional
years to pass, again taking the nutter
uo in earnest, with me at the ace of
even. In .7, when sixteen, I began
studying- with NlcoUl Rubinstein, with
whom 1 continued until his death in

was never a, pupil of Anton Rubinstein,
although I was in close personal rela
tions with him. met hi.n frequently,
and knew - him well. Two brothers
could hot cffer greater contrasts. An
ten was of congenial disposition and
with much Intensity of re s in would
play a plec of music thirty .-times and
each time show a variation accord
ing to his mood, while Nicolal was ie
rTectlve and in ptayin a ! sonata, or
other composition showed not the
slfgbtest variation, no matter how fre
quently repeated" the execution might
be. Uniformity characterized his
scores, and B never knvv him to play
a wrens; note. "
A fine dtHnction existect wiween
the two. and brothers
though they
were a chicken and a pigeon were not
mere unlike than tney. .Nfrolia. was
exceedingly wide in his musical ac
cuaintanco and range, and he antici
pated and played everything in Mos
cow long before the music became
known In Germany. , The reputation it
Nicolla Rubinstein was very great and
In some respects he undoubtedly was
the greatest musician Of the century.
It was counted an honor to have p'-ay-ed
with him. as most of the best art eta
did. Nlcolla Rubinstein stands , ;er
haps as the chief apostle of the"school
of pisnism which signifies the a'jsoiute
and mechanical rendering of a mmical
score exactly as the eorrrpeser has
wrlten it down, but which does not
now continue in favor and in whose
doctrine I personally no longer believe.
Pianism is thus made quite too nar
row. Anton, on the contrary. Is to be call
ed the great interpreter cf music He
rendered -the written scot e as it appeal
ed tc him. His Mas not of necessity
.the composer's conception, but th-J
musical expression that - cam from
and through Anton's keyboard was
his interpretation of It. Tht; interj. re

the flexibility and variety in. the ren
dering; c-f an old favcrite like Schu
"bett's Ei Iking," or a Chof-in bailid.
due to the diverse lnierp. etailon "of
various interpreters. Thought, Imag
ination nnd feeling are great musical
elements, and from my standpoint m
rntii who has sixteen hours of iailv
practice and who is perfect as to tech
nic, hut who lacks soul, is not as gcod
a musician as one whore piartlie is
limited to one hour a day .'n i whose
technical finish Is less pel feet, but who
Is free from ht may be ia lM musi

I may truly say that I have found

There seems to re ever to be a hr-rrje-ny

color: and the two that come aft t hhut
In the order of merit are Titian and
Rembrandt. Vehtsqucs f teachts me

Music does not slgnJry mere sound:

What the Stout Man Le.irncd About
the Work of Railroading.
An evening train on the South SLle
elevated bumped along in a jerky man
rr. and the stout passenger who had
been complaining of the -system of
heating suddenly hit his head against
the window pane back of him. '
"What's the matter?" he demanded
of the guard who Opened the door to
call out 'Steenth street.
"What's the matter of what"
"What makes these cars go along as
If they were running over a corduroy
road, and vhy do they stop with a Jolt

i'Oh, a student's aboard." answered
the guard, ns he looked down on tt-.
stout passenger ith a pairon'zlns; sir.
"A Miu leot Explain your meaning."
The passenger's tone Indicated that he
would not hesltnte to report the em
ploye for impertinence.
"Why, a student is a fellow who "is
learning how to run a train. Did you
think I meant one of tho?e dudes down
at the University of Chicago?"
Just then the student - "brouRhf the
