On the other hand, it is practically AUTOTONEimpossible to play mechanically on the The Piano ALL can play Either by hand or by perforated music-rolls. The technique of the Autotone is faultless ; and, in addition, it possesses most wonderful means of musical expression found in no other instrument. One of the most important of these exclusive features is THE ACCENTOR It places at the finger tips of the most unpractised music-lover the perfect means of proper accent. It enables any one to subdue the accompaniment and bring out the melody ; to accent any chord, note, or series of notes,—all with the utmost ease and simplicity. This accenting is not arbitrarily mechanical, as when cut in tJie mtisic-roll, but has all the fasaination of individual interpretation. A simple trial of the Autotone at our warerooms or at the warerooms of our representatives in- stantly demonstrates its overwhelming advantages. The Autotone is not a combination of an exterior player made in one factory and a piano made in another. The Autotone is a com- plete and perfect whole, every part being made under one roof. cAU makes of pianos taken in exchange Convenient terms of payment for the balance can be arranged ART CATALOG SENT ON REQUEST HARDMAN, PECK a CO., ^ 138 Fifth Avenue (corner 19th Street), New York 524 Fulton Street, Brooklyn Represented in Washington by W.

Symphonic Sketches: Suite Eor Orchestra, George Whitfield Chadwick (Born at Lowell, Mass., on November 13, 1854; now living in Boston.) This suite contains four movements, which are intended to be played consecutively, but may be performed separately if it is thought more expedient. The movements are entitled "Jubilee/' "Noel," "Hob- goblin/' "A Vagrom Ballad." "Jubilee" and "Noel" were composed in December, 1895; "A Vagrom Ballad" bears the date February, 1896; "Hobgoblin" was composed in the summer of 1904. "Jubilee," "Noel," and "A Vagrom Ballad" were played in various cities during the spring trip of the Boston Festival Orchestra, led by Mr. Mollenhauer. "Noel" was also played at the Forty-sixth Annual Festival of the Worcester County Musical Association, at a concert in Worcester, October 2, 1903. "Jubilee" and "A Vagrom Ballad" were played for the first time in Boston at a Chickering Production Concert, March 23, 1904. Mr. Chadwick conducted his pieces. "Hobgoblin" was performed for the first time at Mr. Chadwick's concert in Jordan Hall, Boston, November 21, 1904. The "Symphonic Sketches," dedicated to Frederick S. Converse,, were published in 1907. They are scored for piccolo, two flutes, two oboes (one interchangeable with English horn), two clarinets, bass clarinet, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones,, a set of three kettledrums, military drum, bass drum, cymbals, triangle, tambourine, xylophone, harp, strings. I. Jubilee: Allegro molto vivace, A major, 6-4. The movement has this motto : Jubilee. No cool gray tones for me!

R. The movement opens with a jubilant theme for full orchestra. After the full exposition a still more characteristic and strongly-rhythmed motive appears (4-4, bass clarinet, bassoons, violas, and 'cellos). A "patting Juba" horn-call introduces a contrasting, suavely melodic motive (C major), which is developed. There is a return of the first jubilant expression, A major, 6-4, which is followed by the cantabile theme (now in F major). After a crescendo, built on the first and chief theme, a few measures for wind instruments (piano) lead to a section (assai tranquillo, 2-2) of an expressive and lyrical nature, which is followed by a final presto in the mood of the opening. II. Noel: Andante con tenerezza, D-flat major, 3-4. There is this motto : Through the soft, calm moonlight conies a sound A mother lulls her babe, and all around The gentle snow lies glistening On such a night the Virgin Mother mild In dreamless slumber wrapped the Holy Child, While angel hosts were listening. —Translation. When "Noel" was performed at the Worcester Festival, the pro- gramme book said: " 'It is reasonably described,' to use the composer's words, 'by the title, i.e., a little Christmas song.' The curious might TWELVE LESSONS IN THE Fundamentals of Yoice Production By ARTHUR L. MANCHESTER (IN PRESS) Price, postpaid, $1.00 Good singing is built upon a good foundation, which in turn depends upon a correct tone production. The Twelve Lessons, by Mr. Manchester, present, in a succinct, clearly stated form, the fundamental principles, which statements are illustrated by simple practical exercises. The special aim is to train the pupil to recognize the conditions, comfort, and firmness which accompany tone production, and are inseparable from good singing. The teacher will find the book an invalua- able aid in the first term's work with a pupil.

THE design of this volume is to show the degree of prominence and influence attained by the Hebrews of the United States. The preparation of the work was undertaken at the suggestion of the numerous readers of a less elaborate series of sketches upon the same subject which appeared in the " New York Mail and Express " about one year since. In the course of his earlier researches the author brought to light a vast amount of interesting material regard- ing the Hebrews in this country, the publication of which, in the secular press was, for obvious reasons, found impractic- able. The material then secured, which has been supple- mented by further investigation, constitutes the present volume. In preparing this work the author has con- sulted various State and Municipal histories and the collections of various Historical Societies, including " Colonial History of New York," " Westcott's Philadelphia." " Historical Collections of Rhode Island," " Daly's Jewish Settlements in North America," " Steven's History of Georgia," "Historical Collections of Georgia," ""Arnold's VI PREFACE.

ELLIS, Manager* l HAROLD BAUER Now playing in America in all prominent cities, in recital and with important musical organizations, writes as follows of the ifeim&lfamlm PIANO Messrs. Mason & Hamlin, Boston. Gentlemen : In a former letter to you I expressed my delight and satisfaction with your magnifi- cent pianofortes, and I have once more to thank you and to admire your untiring efforts to attain an artistic ideal. Your latest model, equipped with the centripetal tension bars, has developed and intensified the qualities of its precursors and has surpassed my highest expectations. As you know, I have used these instruments under many different conditions, in recital, with orchestra, in small and in large halls, and their adaptability to all require- ments has equally astonished and delighted me. The tone is, as always, one of never- failing beauty, the action is wonderful in its delicacy and responsiveness, and I consider that, as an instrument for bringing into prominence the individual qualities of tone and touch of the player, the Mason & Hamlin piano stands absolutely pre-eminent. The vertical grand (style O) is the only instrument of its kind, as far as I am aware, capable of giving complete satisfaction to any one accustomed to play upon a grand, and I have no hesitation in saying that it is without exception the finest upright piano I have ever met with.
