Through the medium of Baldwin tone, this most lyric of contemporary pianists discovers complete revealment of his musical dreams. For a generation de Pachmann has played the Baldwin; on the concert stage and in his home. That love- liness and purity of tone which appeals to de Pach- mann and to every exacting musician is found in all Baldwins, alike in the Concert Grand, in the smaller Grands, in the Uprights. The history of the Baldwin is the history of an ideal. jjlatftonn CINCINNATI CHICAGO NEW YORK INDIANAPOLIS ST.

RAYMOND & WHITCOMB CO. 225 FIFTH AVENUE and 606 FIFTH AVENUE, NEW YORK CITY H. E. SWEEZEY, 80 Center Street Sonata in G major, freely transcribed for a Little Orchestra by Maximilian Steinberg . John Ernest Galliard (Born at Celle in Hanover in or about 1687; died early in 1749 in London) This recent transcription for flute, oboe, bassoon, and strings was made expressly for Mr. Koussevitzky. The score is in manuscript. The original sonata is one of "Six Sonatas for the bassoon or violon- cello with a thorough bass for the harpsichord," published in London by J. Walsh. The movements are Lento, Allegro non troppo, Andante teneramente and Allegro spiritoso. * * * Galliard, the son of a French wigmaker, took oboe and flute lessons from Marshall at Celle. Going to Hanover about 1702, he studied composition with Farinelli, the uncle of the famous singer and an esteemed concert-director; and thus, as Gerber puts it, probably sought to take the Abbe Steffani as a model. Having entered as chamber musician the service of Prince George of Denmark, he accompanied him to London, where the Prince had married Anne in 1683 (Anne ascended the throne in 1702). When Battista Draghi died (about 1706), Galliard succeeded him as organist and chapel master at Somerset House of the dowager queen Catherine. He learned English and composed church music which was performed at St. Paul's and the Chapel Royal on occasions of thanksgiving for victories—a "Te Deum," ^pfe| Columbia Fine - Art Series I of \ ^gSF j Musical Masterworks ?

In 1713 he played in the orchestra at the opera and had a solo part in the accompaniment of the last air in the first act of Handel's "Teseo." Handel wished him to be in the orchestra. He wrote many pieces for the theatre, operas, music for Rich's pantomimes, which were a mixture of masque and harlequinade; he also wrote cantatas, and he had nearly completed at the time of his death an Italian opera, "Oreste e Pylade, overo la Forza dell' Amicicia." In 1745 he had a benefit concert at which his music for choruses in the Duke of Buckingham's tragedy "Julius Caesar" and a piece for 24 bassoons and four double-basses were performed.
