                                        12. A STORY ABOUT PADEREVSKY

                               Paderevski  once  visited  a  small  town  in  America.  While  out
                            walking one afternoon he heard a piano, and following the sound
                            of it came to a house on which there was a sign reading, «Miss
                            Smith. Piano lessons 25 cents an hour». Pausing to listen he heard
                            the young woman trying to play one of Chopin's nocturnes and not
                            succeeding  very  well.  Paderevski  walked  up  to  the  house  and
                            knocked. Miss Smith came to the door and recognised him at once.
                            She  invited  him  in  and  he  sat  down  and  played the  nocturne  as

                            months later he returned to the town, and again to the same street.
                            He soon came to the home of Miss Smith, and looking at the sign
                            he read, «Miss Smith (pupil of Paderevski). Piano lessons 1 dollar
