1EDUARD PARLOVITZ COMING.
3EDUARD PARLOVITZ, the gifted Polish pianist, is coming to this country with R. Watkin Mills, the eminent English basso. Mr. Parlovitz has lived in England many years. As a child Parlovitz entered the Guildhall School of Music in London, and before attaining his fourteenth birthday passed the difficult examination which admitted him as an associate. Later he passed the licentiate examination of the Royal Academy of Music, and he became a professor in the school. He won the bronze medal offered by the Society of Arts, and, notwithstanding his musical scholarship, the young man continued his studies under older masters like Prout and Franklin Taylor.
5Last year Mr. Parlovitz made the tour through Canada with Mr. Mills. Some recent opinions of his performances included the following:
7Parlovitz is neither a pedant nor an extremist, but is an artist with an artist's soul, possessing exceptional skill in technic, and withal is modest, yet refined and sensitive, and is able to reveal a wealth of beauty in every composition played by him.—Daily Tribune, Winnipeg.
9Parlovitz possesses a brilliant technic and a charming musical touch.—Sault Ste. Marie Daily.
11Eduard Parlovitz, as a pianist, is, without exception, the best that has ever visited Moncton.—Moncton Daily Transcript.
13Eduard Parlovitz, the Polish pianist, who assisted Watkin Mills, is a brilliant player. His technic is very fine, and at the same time his touch is very sweet and delicate.—Halifax Acadian Recorder.
15The piano solos of Mr. Parlovitz have been seldom surpassed in the town.—St. John's Daily.
17Eduard Parlovitz is a pianist of great ability and culture. He played "Moto Perpetuo" (Weber) and selections from Sinding and Grieg, including a tender Berceuse by the latter. His technic is masterly, and his playing brilliant, while soft in coloring and sweet and distinct in tone.—Montreal Witness.
19Parlovitz is, beyond doubt, a most remarkable young man. His touch is an alternation of velvet and iron, and his technical ability nothing short of marvellous. Mr. Parlovitz showed special musical taste in his playing of a Berceuse by Grieg and a "Charakterstück" by Sinding, and in the exquisite manner in which he played Watkin Mills' accompaniments.—Quebec Chronicle.
21Eduard Parlovitz was at his best in the Chopin, Liszt and Rubenstein numbers, the Impromptu in C sharp minor being especially fine, and each number was enthusiastically encored.—Halifax Recorder. one of two readings

24Parlovitz is a fluent and rapid executant, with a light, elastic touch and a smooth legato. The Scandinavian numbers were very felicitously rendered.—Toronto Globe.
26Parlovitz is an accompanist par excellence, and in solo work displays rare technical skill.—Vancouver Daily World.
28Eduard Parlovitz belongs to an unostentatious but thorough class of pianists, whose finished style and absolute control, accompanied by good judgment in selection, give him a position pre-eminently above the average concert pianist and fascinates those who listen.—Owen Sound daily.
30Mills is accompanied on his American tour by Eduard Parlovitz, a young Polish-English pianist, who plays delightfully, and who seems to have the right idea in playing accompaniments. His touch is soft and beautiful, his technic brilliant, and he catches the spirit of the singer, playing in perfect sympathy with the emotions expressed.—Dayton Daily News.
32Eduard Parlovitz not only accompanies Mr. Mills beautifully, but he is equally beautiful—the exact term—in his piano solos. His touch is as delicate as a woman's, yet he possesses the virility of man in brains as well as fingers, not alone a virtuoso, but an artist.—Winnipeg Daily Tribune.
34The beauty of Mr. Mills' singing was developed by Eduard Parlovitz, whose talent as an accompanist amounts to positive genius. He also rendered with exquisite touch piano solos from Grieg, Chopin and Weber, the Berceuse and Scherzo in B minor being especially applauded.—Province, Vancouver.

69A 1699 "Strad."
71A STRADIVARIUS violin of the 1699 period is on exhibition in the studio of Hans Tietgen, No. 52 Union square. It is in an excellent state of preservation. The finish is exquisite, of course, for, as is well understood by connoisseurs, the Stradivarius violins of this period are among the most carefully finished of any ever made by this incomparable luthier. The varnish possesses that lustrous quality not to be seen in another save the Cremona varnish. The tone of this masterpiece is mellow, powerful, brilliant and resonant. Mr. Tietgen values this "Strad" at $7,500.
