The strongest impressions of the concert season are linked with Baldwintone, exquisitely exploited by pianists eminent in their art. Schnitzer, Pugno, Scharwenka, Bachaus — De Pachmann! More than chance attracts the finely-gifted amateur to this keyboard. Among people who love good music, who have a culti- vated knowledge of it, and who seek the best medium for producing it, the Baldwin is chief. In such an atmosphere it is as happily "at home" as are the Preludes of Chopin, the Liszt Rhapsodies upon a virtuosos programme. THE BOOK OF THE BALDWIN free upon request.

Two brothers, Anselm and Joseph Huttenbrenner, were fond of Schubert. Their home was in Graz, Styria, but they were living at Vienna. Anselm was a musician; Joseph was in a government office. Anselm took Schubert to call on Beethoven, and there is a story that the sick man said, "You, Anselm, have my mind; but Franz has my soul." Anselm closed the eyes of Beethoven in death. These brothers were constant in endeavor to make Schubert known. Anselm went so far as to publish a set of " Erl King Waltzes," and assisted in putting Schubert's opera, "Alfonso and Estrella" (1822) in rehearsal at Graz, where it would have been performed if the score had not been too •difficult for the orchestra. In 1822 Schubert was elected an honorary member of musical societies of Linz and Graz. In return for the compliment from Graz, he began the Symphony in B minor, No. 8 (October 30, 1822). He finished the Allegro and the Andante, and he wrote nine measures of the Scherzo. Schubert visited Graz in 1827, but neither there nor elsewhere did he ever hear his unfinished work. Anselm Huttenbrenner went back to his home about 1820, and it was during a visit to Vienna that he saw Beethoven dying. Joseph remained at Vienna, and in i860 he wrote from the office of the Minister of the Interior a singular letter to Johann Herbeck, who then conducted the concerts of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde. He begged permission to sing in the concerts as a member of the society, -and urged him to look over symphonies, overtures, songs, quartets, choruses, by Anselm. He added, toward the end of the letter: "He [Anselm] has a treasure in Schubert's B minor symphony, which we put on a level with the great symphony in C, his instrumental swan- song, and any one of the symphonies by Beethoven." Herbeck was inactive and silent for five years, although several times he visited Graz. Perhaps he was afraid that, if the manuscript came to light, he could not gain possession of it, and the symphony, like the one in C, would be produced elsewhere than at Vienna. Perhaps he thought the price of producing one of Anselm Hiitten- Formerly of the Vienna Opera House THE ART OF SINGING IN ALL ITS BRANCHES Special courses for teachers of the voice Scientific Voice Culture based upon the methods of the European Masters.

STORES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES OF NEW ENGLAND — brenner's works in Vienna too dear, and there is reason to believe tlr Joseph insisted on this condition. (See " Johann Herbeck," by L. Her beck, Vienna, 1885, p. 165.) In 1865 Herbeck was obliged to journey with his sister-in-law, who sought health. They stopped in Graz, and on May 1 he went to Over- Andritz, where the old and tired Anselm, in a hidden, little one-story N cottage, was awaiting death. Herbeck sat down in a humble inn. He talked with the landlord, who told him that Anselm was in the habit of breakfasting there. While they were talking, Anselm appeared. After a few words Herbeck said, ?I am here to ask permission to pro- duce one of your works at Vienna." The old man brightened, his indifference dropped from him, and after breakfast he took him to his home. The work-room was stuffed with yellow and dusty papers, all in confusion. Anselm showed his own manuscripts, and finally Herbeck chose one of the ten overtures for performance. "It is my purpose," he said, "to bring forward three contemporaries, Schubert, Huttenbrenner, and Lachner, in one concert before the Viennese public. It would naturally be very appropriate to represent Schubert by a new work." "Oh, I have still a lot of things by Schubert," answered the old man; and he pulled a mass of papers out of an old-fashioned chest. Herbeck immediately saw on the cover of a manuscript "Sym- phonie in H moll," in Schubert's handwriting. Herbeck looked the symphony over. "This would do. Will you let me have it copied immediately at my cost?" "There is no hurry," answered Anselm, "take it with you." The symphony was first played at a Gesellschaft concert, Vienna, December 17, 1865, under Herbeck's direction.
