THE ONE-ARMED PIANIST.
SIX HOURS A DAY PRACTICE WITH LEFT HAND ONLY.
Paul Wittgenstein, an Austrian planfat who lost his right arm In the war, astonished a specially in- 'vited audience at the Wigmore Studios. W., by the brilliance of his playing with his left hand. -
Mr. Wittgenstein described philosophically to an Evening News representative his success- ful struggle to surmount a dis- ability that would have crushed many artista,
"It was during the fighting on the Russian front in 1915 that I lost" my arm," he said. "I was just ut the start of my career when I joined the Army-I had given ono public recital in Vienna-and at" first I did not quite realise what the loss of the right arm meünt to me.
But I determined to make the best of it, and to try to adapt my self to master my art with one hand. If I did not succeed in that, I thought, I might study musical history and eventually become a professor. As you say here, 1 had two strings to my bow.
to
For eighteen months I was a prisoner, and scarcely touched a piano. When I returned Vienna I settled down to try to recapture my skill with, one hand. It was laborious work, but I progressed steadily, and at length became proficient enough to give a public performance in Vienna.
Following that I rejoined the army, and remained on the Italian front until the end of the war.
On demobilisation I went back. to my studies. Yeurs of practice followed, during which, I played for from five. to six hours every day.
A pianist, however, must, be careful not to overstrain the mus- Feles of the hand, and in my case
that was doubly so.
"As far as I know, I am the only one-urined pianist in Germany and Austria, though some years ago the Inte Count Zichy, who lost an arm in a hunting accident, played. at recitals."
Mr. Wittgenstein does not often give solo recitals. He finds the strain too much, and he also thinks that it becomes, monotonous for an audience to listen to a pianist play- ing with one hand all one evening. He does not admire jazz music, "Listening to it 'in restaurants for a few minutes is amusing." he said, "but after that it offends my ears, and I am glad when it stops."
CONTROL OF MALARIA.
SIR RONALD ROSS TO GO EAST.
Speaking at the annual meeting of the Indian Tea Association (London) on July 16, Major Nor- man MeLeod declared that the moat deadly enemy they had to fight was malaria, and if they could bring that under control the labour question would be largely solved. That malaria can be controlled is now beyond doubt. It has been proved in the Malay Peninsula, the Panama zone, the Suez Canal zone, and many other places. If this is the case, he con- tinued, surely the same applies to India. It has been clearly established that malaria is carried by the, anophelous mosquito. It has been equally established that this species of mosquito can be appreciably controlled, and, as a consequence, the scourge of mala- ria appreciably diminished. Can- not therefore the ten industry combine to do something that will bring forth the remedial results that have been so murked and beneficial in other places under somewhat similar circumstances? We spend lakhs of rupees scientific inquiry into the health of the plant and remedies for its discases.. I think the time has come to spend even larger sums on scientific inquiry into the health of the growers and find out re- medies for the most dangerous and prevalent diseases, Sir Rana!d Ross, the greatest living authority on malaria control, has been in- vited to visit the Malay Peninsula," and has also been invited to visit Calcutta by the Tropical School of Medicine, who are willing to pay part of his expenses. I under stand that he would be prepared to advise the tea, industry of Northern India as to malaria and mosquita control during his visit for some small sum towards his expenses. He has very definite views on the subject.
