Sauerquell, J, 3 —— ' lano 16™ (Senturj 16™ Gent ury Over the keyboard of the past will come Perfection ' —IvISZT. After cycles of change the piano conquers the world Going back no further than Queen Elizabeth's spinet, it has taken four hundred years to develop, out of the limited mandolin-like instru- ments which Mozart and Scarlatti, Bach and Beethoven played, that mine of musical resource, Here—at one's ten fingers—is all the piano has known, all the masters have dreamed. Instead of the plaintive "bebung" (the melancholy vibration of the "plucked" claviers, loved of old composers) the modern Baldwin reveals an emotional content of unimagined beauty. Instead of the colorless glitter of the harpsichord immediate pre- cursor of the piano—a tone of a million hues and limitless range. In technical mastery, in the possibility for shades upon shades of expression, and in extent\ the tone of the Baldwin typifies a climax to all piano-building that will remain memorable in the history of music. The Baldwin Piano may be heard anywhere in the United States. We would be pleased to have you see and hear the Baldwin Piano at our store. - Sole Representative MRS. LUCY H.
