AMERICAN PIANIST
CAPTURES GERMANY
BERLIN, Dec. 88.— One of the chief
cvuits of the musical season in Berlin
this winter will be the concert given by
Mine. Celeste Chop(iroinvelt, the Amer
ican pianist. Mine. Chop-Qroenvelt comes
from New Oilcans. .Hid is a daughter of i
the famous Edward Groenvelt. At the
age of 3 years she astonished her parents,
who were both musical geniuses, by her
performances on the piano, and at the age
8 years she made her first public appear
ance in New Orleans as a musical infant
prodigy. Subsequently she studied music
at the Scharwenka eonservatorium in New
York with Leschetitzky in Vienna and
with Moekowski in Paris. In 1900 the
pianist married Mas Chop, the well-known
German composer, one of the foremost
contemporary German musicians, lime.
Chop-Groenevelt's first triumphs were |
gained in Berlin, where the critics are
harder to please than in any other city
in the world, and the reputation won in
the German capital was fully maintained
in other cities of Europe where music is
cultivated. During a recent visit to Goett
ingen, Mine. Chop-Groenevelt's perform-
ance so won the hearts of the students
I that they OUttpanned the horses of her
carriage and dragged her round the town
in triumph. Similar successes have been
achieved by her in numerous parts of the
continent. Mine. Chop-Uroenevelt has
been described by a (ierman, critic as the
greatest musician ever produced by Amer-
I ica, and i fahe has achieved astounding
successes in the past, she has an unprece-
I dented future before her.
