"&he Angelus Is Incomparable"

ANNA
PAVLOWA
V,
The Most Significant Testimonial
Ever Accorded Any Player-Piano
Josef Hofmann, master of the piano; Jean de Reszke, the great tenor;
Marcella Sembrich, peerless soprano; Edwin H. Lemare, England's
finest organist; Kocian, the violinist; Mascagni, the composer—represent-
ative of many who produce music in the various forms—have testified
to the excellence of the ANGELUS.
Gentlemen—
There are so many won-
ders in the Angelus that one
can only speak of the en-
semble effect—it is perfect.
The Phrasing Lever is mar-
velous, almost beyond be-
lief, in its control of the
tempo ; the M e 1 o d a n t
brings out the melody ex-
quisitely; while the touch
and tone coloring are the
height of artistry.
It is incomparable.
Sincerely yours,
ANNA PAVLOWA

But the words of a woman who, more than any other that ever lived, translates the soul
of music into movement and pose, are more significant than any, possibly excepting the words
of composers who translate the soul of music into songs to be sung. And here, Mascagni's
words may be recorded :
" It (The Angelus) can give the complicated pieces more life and soul than any other instrument of its kind can give."
