PIANO DEPARTMENT 〔下は、東京音楽学校でも教えたルドルフ・ロイテルの略歴〕
RUDOLPH REUTER joined the faculty of the Chicago Musical College in 1912. An American by birth, his education was gained first in New York and later in Berlin, where he became a pupil of Heinrich Barth and Rudorff in piano-playing and of Max Bruch in composition. In order to make his knowledge of art as complete as possible, Mr.Reuter spent three years studying singing with Max Stange. Mendelssohn prize in competition with artists from every part of Germany. The reputation for brilliant pianism which he acquired had resulted in an engagement to make a tour throughout the empire when a call came to Mr. Reuter to take up the directorship of the piano department of the Imperial Academy of Music at Tokio, Japan, an institution which always has prided itself upon the worth of the artists which it engages. That the subject of this sketch has been appreciated in Chicago no less than he has been appreciated abroad may be seen from the fact that he has been honored by engagements with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Minneapolis Orchestra, the Kneisel Quartet and other notable organizations. Mr.Reuter is one of the examiners for degrees issued by the Illinois Music Teacher’s Association.

〔以下略〕
A Japanese pianist
The Chicago debut of Miss Suye Ogura gained for her the respect and approval of many of the city’s connoisseurs. Miss Ogura gave a thoroughly western program from Bach-Liszt to Debussy.
Japanese artists have a sincere admiration for western art, but in order to reaeh their hight-light of expression they must always work through that passion and come back to their own wonderful racial genius and bring with them the occidental ideas for incorporation with the oriental. This is true in painting and will doubtless be proved so in music. Miss Ogura is a pioneer in this work, and a worthy one, for she has opened the door to respectful hearing of her fellow countrymen. She has given a convincing glimpse of their possibilities in musical interpretation.
Mr.Grant Hadley, baritone, assisted Miss Ogura by singing a fine group of songs.
