HEINRICH QEBHARD.
A MONG the brilliant and scholarly young
** pianists of America, Heinrich Geb-
hard has won considerable distinction by
reason of his achievements, which are cer-
tainly very remarkable. Gebhard was born
near the Rhine in Germany, where he first
studied piano with the leader of a military
band. At the age of ten he came to Bos-
ton and immediately began study with
Clayton Johns, with whom he had a most

excellent and thorough musical training,
not alone on the technical side, but also in
theory and composition. During his days
at the Roxbury High School, young Geb-
hard was a prime favorite and his help in
musical matters was required at all times.
At the graduation he composed an ode up-
on words by a classmate, for chorus and
soli, which was performed on graduation
day of 1894. After this he left for Vienna
where he remained for years with Wienz-

at Cambridge, on which occasion he played
the Beethoven C minor concerto with ca-
denza of his own, and earned plaudits of
audience and press. He also played with
the Kneisel Quartet and gave some suc-
cessful recitals of his own. In February
Gebhard played in New Haven with Hora-
tio Parker and orchestra. He played the
Chopin E minor concerto with great suc-
cess. He has played in many of the fash-
ionable homes and clubs in Boston and
vicinity. This year he is to be one of
the soloists with the Boston Symphony
in Boston, as also in the same place with
the Kneisel quartet.
Gebhard was a
classmate of Sieveking, Mark Hambourg,
Gabrilowitsch and Schnabel while with Le-
schetizky. He will be heard in America
this year, and next year he has engage-
ments which will take him back to Europe.
A. J. QOODRICH IN NEW YORK.
of the best known pedagogues in
America is A. J. Goodrich who has
come to New York to locate after having
done invaluable work in Chicago. Good-
rich's last work on Theory of Interpreta-
tion is a magnificent one, and it is of ex-
treme value to the student, as it is the out-
come of great experience in addition to a
marked talent. It is written in an ex-
tremely lucid style which is not always the
case with such works; it is comprehensive
and exhaustive. The coming of Good-
rich to New York should be hailed with
delight, as there is always a great demand
for a man of such authority and ability.
WAGNER IN SAN FRANCISCO.
""THERE are many reports from San
* Francisco, telling of the enthusiasm
with which the Grau Opera Company, will
be met especially in the Ring which will
be presented for the first time in San Fran-
cisco. At the Von Meyerinck school the
pupils are having the rare treat of prepara-
tory analytic lectures by Mrs. Henri Fair-
weather, who is one of the most fascinat-
ing and able women in this line of work in
America to-day. Damrosch is to give
some lectures also upon the same subject
prior to the presentation of Wagnerian
opera.
HAROLD BAUER.
T H E first appearance in this country of
* Harold Bauer, the celebrated Parisian
pianist, will occur November 30, with the
Boston Symphony, in Boston.
