TWO BALDWIN CONCERT
GRANDS FOR DE PACHMANN
Eighty-Year Old Pianist to Give Series of Concerts
for His Health.
A special order for two concert grand pianos, to
he shipped to England for the great de Pachmann, is
explained by the attached newspaper story, dated
London, England, which appeared in the Cincinnati
Times-Star recently: "Vladimir de Pachmann, fO-
year-old pianist, has been ordered out of the retire-
ment of his villa in Rome by his physicians, and is
giving a series of thirty-eight concerts throughout
England—for his health.
"Rest will kill you! You must play to audiences
and keep up the sort of activity on which you have
trhived for so many years," the tlalian doctoros told
their patient.
"I wish it were fifty instead of thirty-eight con-
certs," the great interepreter of Chopin announced
after his first conceri; in England.
"I tried to retire and went to my villa in Rome
three years ago. But I became ill and the doctors
said I had to get back to the concert stage.
"Perhaps it is my last tour. But I feel young
at the piano—not over 45—and I must go on playing.

If I stop I die. If I cannot play to audiences I must
play to myself. I can play all day and all night
and not become tired."
