WAGNER’S PIANO
America has obtained possession of another of Europe's historic and artistic heirlooms in the shape of Richard Wagner’s piano. For years, it stood in the little drawing-room of an old musicteacher in. Berlin to whom it returned after Wagner’s death in 1883. Here it was discovered by ail enterprising American and promptly acquired. The authenticity of the instrument is said to have been established beyond dispute, and such being the case, it may certainly be regarded as an interesting relic. This was the piano which was bought for the composer by the mad monarch, King Ludwig of Bavaria, when he took ii" his cause and rescued him from his difficulties in 1864, and it was this instrument which Wagner used throughout the most memorable period of his career, and which figures (with Liszt seated at the key-board) in the wellknown painting depicting the Master surrounded by bis friends in his home at Bayreuth.
