Usually this is because they do not realize with what ease Franz Liszt at his Steinway and convenience a Steinway can be bought. This is evidenced by the great number of people who come to exchange some other piano in partial payment for a Steinway, and say: "If I had only known about your terms I would have had a Steinway long ago!" You may purchase a new Steinway piano with a cash deposit of 10%, and the bal- ance will be extended over a period of two years. Prices: $875 and up. Convenient terms. Used pianos taken in exchange. 5' HI N VV A' Y & S'l ) NS STEil N VV K Y S IALL ; 109 EAST 14th STREET NEW YORK Subway Express Stations at the Door REPRESENTED BY THE FOREMOST DEALERS EVERYWHERE 206 lostosa Symplhoinr Foity-second Season, 1922-1923 PIERRE MONTEUX, Conductor \k Violins.

That is a reason for choosing a PIANO And there is a reason for its great renown enduring now for nearly a Hundred Years: ITS EXQUISITE TONE-which De Pachmannn compared to the loveliest of human voices. ITS AMAZING DURABILITY—there are Chickering pianos much over half a century old still delighting with their musical beauty. THE EXQUISTE GRACE OF THEIR DESIGN the smallgrands are models ofper- fection in this important branch ofpiano making. It is not a coincidence that in the finest homes you find the Chickering— but because its owner, accustomed to the best, demands the best. The Chickering is obtainable with the AMPICO —that marvelous instrument which brings to the piano containing it all the music you love best —ideally played.

This symphony was first performed at Meiningen, October 25, 1885, under the direction of the composer. Simrock, the publisher, is said to have paid Brahms forty thousand marks for the work. It was played at a public rehearsal of the Sym- phony Orchestra in Boston, November 26, 1886. Although Mr. Gericke "did not stop the orchestra,"—to quote from a review of the concert the next day,—he was not satisfied with the performance. Schumann's Symphony in B-flat was substituted for the concert of November 27; there were further rehearsals. The work was played for the first time at a concert of the Boston Symphony Orchestra on December 23, 1886. The first performance in the United States was by the Symphony Society, New York, December 11, 1886. This symphony was composed in the summers of 1884 and 1885 at Miirzzuschlag in Styria. The Allegro and Andante were composed during the first summer, the Scherzo and Finale during the last. Miss Florence May, in her Life of Brahms, tells us that the manuscript was nearly destroyed in 1885: "Returning one afternoon from a walk, he [Brahms] found that the house in which he lodged had caught fire, MEDIUM DIFFICULTY ARTHUR FOOTE From Rest Harrow. 5 Compositions .... $0.75 G.
