my dress after a long walk. As I began to hurry my toilette, 杭州滨江kj的地方 I heard enchanting 杭州桑拿流程 sounds from my piano below. Judge of my delight to be listening to Liszt’s improvisations. Instead, therefore, of hurrying, I prolonged my change of dress to what I considered would be the extremity of my visitor’s patience. But I found him friendly and smiling, not in 杭州足疗店的口一次多少钱 the least annoyed, when {144} I at last entered the room. Indeed, he evidently guessed why I had delayed so long, and was even amused at my little stratagem.

Here is a letter from him:

MADAME,

Le charme et l’émotion de votre chant m’a fait complètement oublier hier que je n’étais pas libre de 杭州夜网论坛 mes heures aujourd’hui. Veuillez bien m’accorder indulgence et me permettre de venir un autre jour pour vous renouveler mes très respectueux hommages?

FR. LISZT.

It was Liszt also who introduced to me Lassen, who came every morning to teach me his lovely 杭州水疗养生 songs. In 杭州按摩油压哪里好 Weimar, Lassen was quite an artistic personage.

But I might ramble on for ever with such reminiscences. A few words only about later acquaintances in London. Amongst these I think I ought specially to mention my distinguished compatriots, Glazounoff and Safonoff.

Tchaikovsky was also here and had fully intended to return to London, where his glorious music had become so popular, and had indeed accepted the invitation of an English friend to be his guest during the forthcoming visit. His death in Petrograd occurred shortly afterwards, to our great loss.

A few minutes later, when my other pianist, the talented Miss Vera Margolies, came, Glazounoff seemed delighted to meet his favourite Russian artist-friend, just returned from new successes in Paris, and about to achieve another success at the Queen’s Hall under the direction of our great Safonoff.

I must add a few words on Mrs. Rosa Newmarch. She has rendered great service to the artistic world 杭州养生spa馆 in publishing her two big volumes on our great Tchaikovsky, and her works on The Russian Opera and The Russian Arts, and we Russians must always think of Mrs. Rosa Newmarch’s efforts to bring about an artistic entente between Russia and England.

Safonoff, that grand 杭州丝袜批发市场 artist so well known to London orchestras and audiences, used, in his lighter moments, to amuse us with his inimitable six-line caricatures on the back of menu cards, or on any handy scraps of paper.

In these later years I used frequently to meet that grand violinist August Wilhelmj, and shall never forget the rather rare examples he gave us of his extraordinary gift of tone, in that respect reminding me somewhat of Laub.

I used also to meet Auer on his occasional visits here, during
