THE
MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
ADVENT OF THE ARTRIO-ANGELUS REPRODUCING PIANO
Notable Concert at Carnegie Hall Under Auspices of Wilcox & White Co. to Introduce New
Instrument to the Public—Willem Mengelberg and Mme. Yolanda Mero to Appear
Monday evening, February 7, will be the date
of a gala event at Carnegie Hall, New York, at
which time the Artrio-Angelus will be intro-
Willem Mengelberg
duced on the concert stage by the Wilcox &
White Co., of New York and Meriden, Conn.
An interesting program has been planned, and
besides being the first public introduction of the
Artrio-Angelus it will mark the first appear-
ance outside of a regular series of subscription
Artrio-Angelus Reproducing Grand Piano
concerts of Willem Mengelberg, the renowned
conductor from Amsterdam, Holland, who has
won quick approval in musical circles since his
appearance in this country, and who will con-
duct the National Symphony Orchestra.
Willem Mengelberg is a world figure among
modern orchestra leaders. He was born in Hol-
land and studied at the Utrecht School of Mu-
sic, and subsequently in Cologne. He became
the municipal musical director of Lucerne in
1891, and conductor of the Concert-gebouw-
Orkest of Amsterdam in 1895. Through the
extraordinary ability and genius of this mu-
sician this latter orchestra has won an enviable
place among the noted orchestras of the world.
His remarkable constructive work led to many
engagements as guest conductor in Russia, Italy
and in England in 1903. Mengelberg' conducted
the New York Philharmonic Orchestra in a few
guest appearances in 1905, and in 1913 the Phil-
harmonic concerts at Queen's Hall, London. A
recent impressive achievement was his leader-
ship of the famous Mahler Festival at Amster-
dam last year. This extraordinary musical
event drew an attendance from all parts of
Europe and from this country. Mengelberg's
visit to America is among the outstanding events
of the current musical season—a season replete
with noteworthy performances.
Another feature of the concert will be the
playing of Yolanda Mero, her solo numbers to
include:
Liszt's Concerto in A Major, and Liszt's Fan-
tasie on Hungarian Folk Songs—both composi-
tions being played in part by Mme. Mero and
in part by the Artrio-Angelus reproducing grand
piano.
Mme. Mero made her debut with the Dresden
Philharmonic Orchestra in 1903 and her Amer-
ican debut in 1909. She has toured Great Britain,
the Continent and North and South America
(has made four North American tours), and
appeared in this country with all the great sym-
phonic orchestras. She is in the very front
rank of the women pianists of the present day,
and is famous for her masterly interpretations
of Liszt and Beethoven.
The Artrio-Angelus reproducing piano is rec-
ognized as one of the most artistic of this char-
acter of instrument, and has won the warmest
commendations for its wonderful interpretations.
Some of the most notable artists of to-day
have recorded their interpretations for this in-
strument, and thus have had mirrored every in-
dividual mood, tonal coloring and expression,
exactly as played originally.
The Triakontameron—a remarkable contribu-
tion to the world's greatest music, consisting of
thirty distinct moods and tonal pictures—has
been recently recorded by Leopold Godowsky
exclusively for the Artrio-Angelus.
Godowsky is one of scores of master pianists
of the world who have had their exquisite art
recorded for posterity on the Artrio-Angelus
reproducing piano. The incalculable value of
this Artrio-Angelus concert to the trade han-
