3prized by accomplished soloists. In addition, Mr. Zimbalist has also been active as an editor of "Five Transcriptions from the 18th Century" by S. Lieberson. These transcriptions include an Andante Cantabile by Ph. Em. Bach, Les Papillons by Fr. Couperin, an Adagio by G. B. Graziolo, and two pieces by J. Ph. Rameau, Les Tendres Plaintes and Musette, all delightfully effective concert numbers, and provided with exhaustive marks for fingering and bowing by Mr. Zimbalist.
5MAXIMILIAN PILZER
7Four clever and very ambitious young American solo violinists, Maximilian Pilzer, David Hochstein, Louis Persinger, and Max Donner must not be omitted from this list of contributors to the violin's literature.
9Mr. Pilzer, whose success as concert-master of the New York Philharmonic Society, has brought him international fame within two short seasons, has also exhibited exceptional gifts as a writer. Last season he came forth with a Love Song and a Caprice Valse which gained immediate popularity and this year he has added to these with a Novellette, a haunting Orientale, a Berceuse and a Meditation together with brilliant concert transcriptions of an old Hebrew melody Kol Nidre and Chopin's Etude, Op. 25, No. 2. All these numbers are modern in spirit and prove the exceptional musicianship of their writer, without a doubt.
11The contributions of David Hochstein include an original Menuet and Ballade, two spirited compositions of singular melodic beauty and two exquisite concert arrangements of Brahms' Waltzes in A minor and A major, while Louis Persinger is represented by two effective concert transcriptions of Dvořák's famous Song Als die alte Mutter (Songs my Mother taught me, Op. 55, No. 4) and Reichardt's enormously popular melody In the Time of Roses.
