PRELUDE

TO AMERICAN PIANO TEACHERS AND STUDENTS

The following “Talks” were obtained at the suggestion of the Editor of Musical America, and have all, with one or two exceptions, appeared in that paper.  They were secured with the hope and intention of benefiting the American teacher and student.

Requests have come from all over the country, asking that the interviews be issued in book form.  In this event it was the author’s intention to ask each artist to enlarge and add to his own talk.  This, however, has been practicable only in certain cases; in others the articles remain very nearly as they at first appeared.
