The Steinway Piano.
[From the Paris Correspondence of the New York
(Musical) Review.
The Imperial Commission, who examined it,
have reported it superior to the old European
system, and awarded it the Great Medal. In
musical instruments the United States do not
exhibit great variety ; but what they do show is
of the best kind, and in several cases is better
than anything in the Exhibition. There nre,
for instance, the Steinway Patent Overstrung
Pianos, with patent resonator, five in number,
three grands, one square grand, and one up
right, with double iron frame. I have heard
the first pianists of France declare that these
pianos are by far the best in the Exhibition.
They have already gained the greatest celebrity
here on accouut of their novel construction,
power, and beauty of tone, and their peculiar
sympathetic qualities. The jury has awarded
them the First Gold Medal. They are daily
played on, lrom 3 to 5, p. in., by one of the
best resident pianists, Mr. D. Magnus. Hun
dreds of listeners tliroug to hear them. The
first chords immediately attract a large crowd
from all the adjacent avenues, as far aR their
sound reacts (and that is a good deal further
than the sound ol any piano- 1 ever heard) and
then there is a perfect jam. 'Jhe greatest
French composers have honored them l*y corn
mg to the Exhibition to hear them—for in
stance, Messrs. Auber, Fclicien David, Hector
Berlioz Ambroise Thomas, Ldebure Wely,
Henry Racine, Schulhoff, Ketterer, and many
others. The French piqno-makers were utter
ly taken aback when they first heard these
pianos. Übe oldest and most important French
piano-makers, as well as those who make
pianos after the old 6}'stem, find that the new
Steinway system is attracting great attention
among ail musical people. It does not require
a Solomon to predict that the piano-maker
woo secures the privilege of manufacturing
tlie Steinway Patent Overstrung Piano in
France will be amply repaid.
Longfellow and Dante. —The London
Review says that Longfellow’s translation
of Dante “ will be acceptable to more read
ers for the sake of Mr. Longfellow, perhaps,
than for the sake of Dante.” .
• Death. —“ Death, it is true,” says Victor
Hugo, “ has its place at the Exposition, but
’tis in the form of cannon, not in that of a
guillotine.” He adds: “ Avery fine scaf
fold was offered, but refused.”
