&Y Dear Mr. Steinway : 
Y On the eve of my departure, after having had the honor of conduct- 
WY ing the Philharmonic Orchestra, I cannot but express my unbounded admiration 
Y for your great country and institutions. The reality far surpasses my fondest 
W anticipations, and | hope that I may soon again have the opportunity to 
W) visit the United States. | 
@) What interested me most as a musician was the revelation your wonderful | 
(h pianos proved to my highest musical instincts. [hanks to your courtesy, I had 
the opportunity of testing your various models, and the absolute, unapproachable 
perfection I found in all of them, from the smallest upright piano to the largest 
@ } concert grand, impels me to request you to add my name to = 
@ the long list of musicians who have placed the ~ Steinway wy 
() | ina class all by itself. Every trial of them discovered 
(i) to me new beauties of tone and depths of power and 
(i) resonance, and this one art product alone places the 
@ United States in the front rank of musical and 
(Wy artistic achievement. ~ 
— ‘Trusting to have the pleasure of recelving 
“iy you 1n my home in Hamburg, Germany, 
ae when you will visit that city next sum~ 
@ mer, and with kindest greetings to all the 
@ members of your house, I am 
Yours most sincerely, 
@ MAX FIEDLER,
