To me dark red speaks of something tender, heart-searching, mysterious." Here Mr. Hochman illustrated his words at the piano with an expressive fragment full of deep feeling. "On the other hand, the shades of yellow express gaiety and brightness"; here the illustrations were all life and fire, in crisp, brilliant staccatos. Other colors were just as effectively represented.

Hochman has done considerable work in composition. Numerous songs have been published and doubtless larger works may be expected later. A music critic remarked, "That ever youthful and fascinating pianist, Teresa Carreño is with us again." I well remember how fascinated I was, as a young girl, with her playing the first time I heard it it was so full of fire, enthusiasm, brilliancy and charm.

"A pianist, like a painter, should have an infinitude of colors on his palette," remarked Arthur Hochman, the young Russian pianist, in a recent chat about piano playing. He should paint pictures at the keyboard, just as the artist depicts them upon the canvas.

Arthur Hochman, Russian pianist and composer, once remarked to me, in reference to the quality of tone and variety of tonal effects produced by the various artists now before the public: "For me there is one pianist who stands above them all his name is Gabrilowitsch." The quality of tone which this rare artist draws from his instrument, is unforgettable.

Certain pieces of Mozart seem to bring before us the rich greens of a summer landscape; the Fantaisie in C minor, and the Pastorale Varie are of this type. Arthur Hochman says: "Colors mean so much to me; some are so beautiful, the various shades of red for instance, then the golden yellows, rich warm browns, and liquid blues.
