New York

That musician who aroused perhaps the greatest discussion during the season in New York is Anton Biloti, the pianist. This young man, an Italian-American reared among the bourgeois respectabilities of University Heights, first gained publicity as a young boy by constructing a miniature trolley line on an uptown hillside for the amusement of himself and the neighborhood youth.

But it is not a matter of personal singularities that has made Biloti interesting, but rather one of what has been esteemed curious musicianship. Critics have called Biloti's interpretations over-individual and even erratic. " He plays Bach like Chopin, turning a learned fugue into a weaving of pretty melodies." To him Bach and Beethoven have written beautiful music; but music which the interpreter should make as fair and graceful as he can.
