Zcldciinisi
to
Baldwin
New York, March 9, 1902
Mr. Lucien Wulsin,
President Baldwin Piano Company,
Cincinnati, Ohio.
My Dear Sir:
Before leaving: the United States, after this, my first visit, I desire
to reiterate to you the commendation on the Baldwin Grand pianos
1 tested at the Paris Exposition of 1900 and which at that time impressed
me as musical art productions.
Since then I have played your Grands on my tour here and in the
largest halls East and West, in Orchestral Concerts and recitals, and now
I find my original Paris opinion verified and endorsed by actual experience,
for under the most severe strain serving to illustrate those examples of
modern pianism that subject the instrument to the most powerful blow
and in dynamic contrast the whole gamut of touch, your Qrands have
enabled me to do justice to the works of the masters of the piano.
Permit me to congratulate you on the superb instrument that emanates
from your establishment and to express the hope that I may soon have an
opportunity to play it in my concerts in Europe ; for Europe should hear your
instruments.
Believe me, my dear Sir,
Sincerely yours,
EDUARD ZELDENRUST.
