Friedrich Gulda, a young Aus trian virtuioso, is one of the world’s best-itiravieled as wel as one of thie world’s most distin- ^shed young pianists.

It is interesting to note bow Gulda, modest and unspoiled achieved such a rack of pre- emienence in ithe ffieiM of music.

By “chamber music” is meant “ensemble mu sic for from two to about eigjht or mne insbrumienits with one pliay er to the pant, as distinct from orchegfcral music in which there are several players for each part. The esasJeotial' trait of chamber music is its intimacy and refinft- menit; its natural setting is the home.
