The Triumph of 
Ferruccio Busoni 
(THE GREATEST LIVING PIANIST) 
as shown by the enthusiastic criticism of the press and musical critics everywhere, could not have 
been accomplished without the aid of an instrument of the inimitable character of the 
of which he writes as follows: 
Messrs. Chickering & Sons. 
Gentlemen:—Not because it would be a compre¬ 
hensible impulse of politeness,—nor even because 
we are associated in one common artistic inter¬ 
est,—but merely through sincere sympathy and 
pure conviction, I feel bound to express to you 
my high appreciation and my deep gratitude as far 
as are concerned your great achievements and your 
most kind services with the 
Chickering Pianos. 
To realize an enjoyable piano-playing, these 
are the conditions!—to perform beautifully beau¬ 
tiful music on a beautiful instrument. The first 
I try to obtain; the second is provided by great 
masters, charming masters, respectful masters) the 
third undoubtedly you have produced into my hands. 
There are piano-maker's art studios, and 
there are piano-maker's manufactories. Remain as 
you are, the artists in piano-making. It is the 
way to add your own chapter to the history of 
music. 
I am. Gentlemen, Yours most faithfully. 
This is undoubtedly the greatest tribute ever paid a piano by a world-famed artist. It is an enthusiastic 
outpouring of that which is in his heart concerning the piano that enabled him to reveal his art. Hear the 
exquisite tone-quality and power of Chickering pianos at the stores of our representatives everywhere.
