PADEREWSKI.
The value of modern works may sometimes be estimated by the attention bestowed upon them by the great men of the day, and it is probable that the programmes of Padertwski will be scanned very closely for the "novelties" that he may offer there for the delectation of the \Vellington public. It is true that the majority of music-lovcra are thinking with n certain expectant ecstacy, not of novelties, but, perhaps, of the pianist's interpretation of Beethoven's "Sonata in F Minor," for example, for it must be observed that Padercwski's luminous presentation of such a work as the "Appassionata" must be regarded in the light of a revelation by students, as well as by the thousands of art devotees. . But there is a large; section in the community that is possessed of unlimited curiosity and even anxiety regarding the future. Shice Wagner there have been reformers and modernists and impressionists, whose ideas have been discussed in every home where music in the daily chat is mingled with questions' of politics, tennis, and the latest pictures. Paderewski opens . hia Wellington season with a grand gala concert on Thursday, 9th June.
