Notwithstanding the hardships suffered by many of the company, and their fierce struggles, first for existence and then for an education, the young socialists, old beyond their years and savage in their hatred of the existing order of things, showed among themselves a manly cordiality and a true convivial spirit. The American pronounced them all "good fellows." Yet each preserved his strong personality at all times, and it would be hard to find any where such resolution and firmness of character as was exhibited by these students...

His interpretation of the concerto is individual and displays the same calmness and self-control which is characteristic of his technique. Still, fire and spirit are not wanting, making the performance eminently satisfactory. The cadenzas deserve a word of notice. They are both original, and while the first is not always in keeping with the character of the movement in which it appears, the second is really a masterpiece...
