L LANDOWSKA, WANDA, Harpsichordist (Lan-doff’-skah, Vahn’ aah) ae
Wanda Landowska holds a place in the field of music which is very nearly unique. She has revived the harpsichord, precursor of the piano, and she interprets upon it the music of those masters who lived and throve before the time of the modern instrument. She is of Polish birth, from Warsaw, but she has lived in other European cities, notably in Berlin and in Paris, where she has taught the elder music, absorbed it, written of it, and passed it on to others in its pristine beauty. She has toured extensively. She is a pianist of splendid powers, a composer, and a true authority on the classics. She designed her own harpsichord, which has two keyboards and a multiplicity of pedals, in the forgotten “grand manner.” The harpsichord differs from the piano from the fact that its strings are plucked with quills, not struck with hammers, and from the clavichord in that this last instrument produces the tone and “‘stops” the string with one motion, by a metal “tangent,”

LASHANSKA, HULDA, Soprano (Lah-shan’-skah)
Hulda Lashanska possesses that rare gift, a pure lyric soprano voice, developed to the utmost fluency by coloratura training. She is an American, born in New York City, and reared among surroundings conducive to her artistic development. At eighteen she was a pianist of enviable powers. Then her voice was discovered. She studied with Frieda Ashforth and with Marcella Sembrich, and was encouraged, in moments of self-doubt, by Sophie Braslau. She has appeared with practically every symphony organization of importance in the United States since her début in New York under Walter Damrosch. She sings with rare evenness, self-possession, and with quite extraordinary beauty of tone.
