, t is the opinion of many critics that Stravinsky has
never surpassed his colorful ballet "Petrouchka."
To them it expresses completely the striking person-

foundation of his musical appreciation and
expression.
The rich, sonorous tone-quality which distin-
guishes the Steinway has long been the acknowl-
edged standard for pianoforte music among
the musically informed. And it is this inimi-
table tone that has caused virtually every/ noted
musician from Liszt to Stravinsky to choose
the Steinway as the perfect medium for his art.
Yet children are often denied the influence of
this tonal perfection because of the impression
that a piano of such acknowledged superiority
must be an extremely expensive instrument.
As a matter of fact you can have a Steinway
Grand delivered to your home today, for an
original payment of only $147.50 . . . a medium
for your child's expression that will give a lifetime
of perfect service and satisfaction. And then
is the index of the true economy of a Stein-
way. . . . You need never buy another piano.
