Une ot Miss Nashs critics says:
I "Her whole soul is poured out at the
ends of her fingers," and so when we
really analyze the tests that have de
veloped her character, we find that
music has proved to her intense na
ture a soul release, an outlet to bright
skies.
"Early European successes did not
disturb the sincerity or depth of Miss
Nash's purpose, but instead spurred
her on to greater effort and longer
periods of study. Even her brilliant
second season's bookings were not so
much regarded as a compliment, hut
rather as an opportunity, another
chance to prove, and, accordingly, her
summer vacation was spent with her
practice schedule undisturbed."
. A recent review of one of her east
ern appearances with the New York
Philharmonic orchestra says: "One
did not expect such attainment front
so young an artist, to whom we
could scarcely attribute the strength
of soul and body for such effects."
