TIIK STORTi Lonia Pleyel Is not interested In frederie Cho pin, claiming there ia already two much niUHicnl geniun in I'ariH. He haa just ordered Krederie and the irrepressible Jozef Issuer out of his oilice when Fram Liszt ia heard play ins a piano in the Ha I on. Fred eric reeoeuizea one of hia own vonipokitiona. XV FRANZ LISZT rFHE renown of Franz Liszt, that "touchy Hungarian," who as a child had been kissed by Bee thoven, was spread over the world. As composer and pianist, he was a vigorous innovator. He had even dared, it was said, to strike the keys with his nose! Whatever the truth of that, he had indeed explored the possi bilities of the pianoforte beyond anything ever before attempted. But his renown was not limited either to his dexterity as a pianist nor to his genius as a composer. Paris was at his feet. No woman of glamor enjoyed greater popu larity. There was not a Duchess in all the France of Louis Philippe who would not have been proud to say, "Franz Liszt is mine." The noblest, the most beautiful women of Europe had sought his atten tion. The most talented men in music, literature and art called him friend. There was not a salon in. Paris to which this bon vivant was not welcome. Frederic's heart pounded. His mouth was agape. His eyes feasted from afar on Franz Liszt. It was his, Chopin's music, that was guiding the fingers of this immortal! It was the Polo- vaise in A-flat being played, yes, exactly as it must be played, as Frederic himself had dreamed it would be played. Louis Pleyel, his coat-ends fly ing, reached the handsome vir tuoso. "Maestro!" He bent low. "Pleyel," Liszt said without looking up, "who wrote this?" Louis Pleyel turned to his sec retarv. "Dupont! Who wrote this?" Henri Dupont looked at Louis Pleyel and Louis Pleyel looked at Henri Dupont. Henri Dupont shook his head. Louis Pleyel moved his shoulders. Henri Du pont, not to be outdone, moved his shoulders also. Frederic had taken a step closer, then another until, one step and another, he w-as very close. Jozef Eisner's head wagged in rhythm to the music He removed his spectacles from his nose and wiped them, although, they did not require wiping. "FREDERIC was seized with an impulse to speak with Liszt m the very language of Liszt! He was unnoticed by Louis Pleyel. He was unnoticed by Henri Du pont. He was unnoticed by Jozef Eisner. He w-as noticed only by the gaping clerk at the back of the room who threw up his hands as Frederic seated himself at a piano at Liszt's back and struck the keys. His tones melted into those of Liszt. So Liszt and Chopin played together. They played in perfect and exact rhythm, back to back, yet to gether. Franz Liszt, without taking his eyes from the score, said, over the music: "The composer!" Louis Pleyel exchanged glances with Henri Dupont. Louis Pleyel moved his shoulders. And Henri Dupont, not to be outdone, moved his. But Jozef Eisner had heard. He also saw. He almost spluttered. But he kept silent. Frederic, now confident and with an utter disregard of Louis Pleyel and Henri Dupont, said "You do me great honor, Monsieur Liszt" Louis Pleyel took his eyes from the "touchy Hungarian" to glare at Frederic Chopin. Louis Pleyel gulped. Henri Du pont gulped- Franz Liszt said: "What do you call this?" "A iiolonaise. It's unfinished " "Polonaise!" "Yes." "Spirit of Poland!" "Yes." "Magnificent!" Frederic groped for words. Thank you thank you, Maes tro." '"THEY' played on, together, and for some time the room was filled with no other sound but the tones of Chopin's unfinished po lonaise. Then Liszt said: . "And you play with spirit, too." " Thank you, Maestro." "I mean it, Monsieur; you have the fire of a patriot!" " As to that, Maestro I don't know " "I do know! And I should like very much to shake your hand but I don't want to stop!" To take the hand of Franz Liszt! It was Frederic's turn to gulp. Frederic gulped again. Then after his second gulp he was all right. Then he said, with airy exuberance, "If you play the melody and I the bass " "Excellent!" Frederic played the bass, Liszt the melody. Then with their free hands they reached one for the other and clasped them warmly. A portion of the score remained to be played. They played on, Liszt and Chopin! Louis Pleyel coughed in his hand. "My dear Eisner ' "Eh?" "Two weeks! Is that enough, time?" Jozef Eisner touched his ker chief to his face. "Eh?" Louis Pleyel said: "I am ask ing if Monsieur Chopin can get a concert ready in two weeks?" " Louis " Jozef Eisner's jaw started to work again. But he could not speak. Louis Pleyel raised his voice: "Isn't that what you came to Paris for?" Frederic was laughing over the melody of the polonaise. But there were tears in Jozef Eisner's eyes. Then he caught his voice. "Yes," he said, nodding. "Naturally. Why else did we come to Paris?"
