7Pianists Hold a Social Reunion.
9THE annual social reunion of the members of the International Society of Pianoforte Teachers and Players took place at Clavier Hall, 11 West Twenty-second street. In spite of the heat and the fact that the morning and afternoon sessions at West Side Auditorium had lasted several hours, the social gathering was largely attended, and a very enjoyable evening was passed. Many of the members had not seen each other for a year; some had never met before, and as all are earnestly engaged in the same work—that of promulgating correct principles of teaching and playing the piano—this opportunity to meet and exchange experiences seemed very much appreciated. The social function was enlivened by a very delightful impromptu musical entertainment.
