TERESA CARRENO. The pianoforte is an Everett* There will be an intermission of ten minutes after the symphony* 5 ? There are some four hundred different makes of pianos manu- factured in the United States* Ho<zv many can you name ? Per- haps a dozen* Hardman Piano.— Style " Sheraton," one of the 34 new styles this sea- son in Hardman, Peck & Co.'s remarkable line of 56 different styles. HARDMAN PIANO Is always on the tip of the tongue whenever Pianos are thought of. Now, this universal knowledge of a few makes is not alone the result of advertising. All makes of pianos are advertised. It is their presence in thousands of homes, their intimate association with the daily lives of their owners and their friends for many years, that causes this general familiarity with the few well-known makes. The Hardman Piano is an inherent part of our national home life. And nothing but its oivn intrinsic qualities of superiority could ever have made it so. Do you realize that in buying a Hardman Piano you are not paying extra for a name ? That a " Hardman," with all that the name implies of high musical quality, durability, and reputation, can be bought at as moderate a price as hundreds of makes whose names you never heard A call at our warerooms will be a revelation to you in piano values. cAll makes of pianos taken in exchange. Convenient terms of payment for the balance can be arranged* ESTAB, HARDMAN, PECK & CO. 1842 138 Fifth Avenue (comer 19th Street), New York 524 Fulton Street, Brooklyn Represented in Philadelphia by JAMES BELLAK'S SONS, 1129 Chestnut Street Symphony in E major for Grand Orchestra, Op. 16. Hermann Bischoff (Now living in Munich.) Mr. Bischoff's name does not appear in the latest German encyclo- paedias of music. The composer was invited two months ago to send a sketch of his life for publication in the programme book. Nothing has been heard from him. Yet it may here be stated that in 1887 he was a student at the Leipsic Conservatory of Music, where he took lessons of Jadassohn in composition. At a Gewandhaus concert,' as the story goes, he heard Richard Strauss's Symphony in F minor, and he was so impressed by it that he sought the composer out, and, while he did not actually take lessons in theory and composition of him, he was associated inti- mately with him for three years in the study of scores and in the discussion of music. His home is in Munich. Among Bischoff's chief works are: "Gewittersegen," for tenor voice, organ, and orchestra, Op. 9, a composition to which a prize of three hundred marks was awarded by the Allgemeiner Deutscher Musikverein. It was performed at a concert of the thirty-fifth convention of this society at Dortmund in May, 1899. The singer was Forchhammer. The text of this piece, which has the sub-title, " Psalm zwischen Wolken," is by Richard Dehmel. "Pan," an idyl for orchestra, Op. 14, played by the Kaim Orchestra, led by Sigismund von Hausegger, and performed at a concert of the thirty-eighth convention of the Allgemeiner Deutscher Musikverein, at Krefeld in June, 1902. This idyl is a musical illustration of Turge- neff's prose poem, "The Nymphs," the thirteenth of "Petits Poemes en Prose" in the edition entitled "Souvenirs d'Enfance" and published by Hetzel and Company in Paris.

Advanced Studies in Double Notes PRICE, 60 CENTS NET, EACH BOOSEY & COMPANY, 9 East Seventeenth St., New York City THE PIANOLA Is For Sale at Heppe's Exclusively In every city there is but one store where the Pianola and Pianola Piano are on sale. When a customer enters any of the other stores and inquires, " Do you keep the Pianola ?" the salesman is in honor bound to reply, " No, we do not." Of course, there is no law to prevent his adding, " We keep the Piano-player, which we claim is just as good," etc. But ordinary commercial fairness demands that he sjiall not permit the customer to buy some other piano-player under the mistaken impression that it is the genuine Pianola. We learn that there are some stores that are not so scrupulous as they should be in observing this principle. Consequently we are compelled to advertise over and over again : There is but one Pianola. Sold in Philadelphia and Surrounding Territory AT HEPPE'S ONLY If the word Pianola does not appear on the fall-board of the instrument, it is not a Pianola. The supremacy of the Pianola and Pianola Piano is so universally recognized that it is a constant temptation to other Piano-players to operate under its prestige. C. J.
