Knott brought him to the hospital for treatment^ On Saturday morning a representative of this paper paid a visit to the Dresden Company's rooms, and has to thank Mr Brookes, who is conducting the pianola recitals here, for a very pleasant hour of delightful music. The pianola proves itself to be capable of all that is claimed for it. It is not a mere mechanical instrument ; it is a thing of feeling, the exact feeling of its manipulator. Some visitors before seeing the pianola played by Mr Brookes were of the opinion that it was & purely mechanical contrivance, incapable of expression as a musical ' box. They were quickly undeceived. Others imagined it could not be 1 played properly without musical knowledge. This is emphatically not so. Musical knowledge is quite immaterial. All that is needed is good taste ; an appreciation of music. The pianola, to the last diminuendo of expression, does the will 1 of the person who cannot play the 1 piano, hardly knows G from F, yet 1 enjoys good music, and has good ta.ste. But even if one has no taste and no ear for music, one can still render good music correctly in every wav, though the individual interpro- ! tation will not be there. We re1 mind all those who have not yet inspected this wonderful invention that Mr Brookes will be at the Dresden till 9 o'clock this evening, the last r night of the pianola recitals.
