Excerpt from Great Pianists on Piano Playing: Study Talks With Foremost VirtuososThere could have been but little improvement in our railroads in 1872 when Rubinstein came to America, for although he accepted for 215 concerts dur ing his first trip, he refused an offer of $12 for only 50 concerts when a manager tried to persuade him to return.American railroads now present the acme of com fort, convenience, and even luxury in travel, yet the European artist has difficulty in adjusting himself to journeys of thousands of miles crowded in a short winter season when he has been accustomed to little trips of a few hundred kilometers. He comes to dread the trains as we might a prison van. Paderewski re sorts to a private car, but even this luxurious mode of travel may be very monotonous and exhausting.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
