February 17 Friday – At the Hotel Krantz in Vienna, Austria, Sam wrote to Annette Hullah, a student of Theodor Leschetizky.

It was a very great pleasure you gave me in putting that book into my hands; it had ended-up a good many days comfortably & interestingly for me after my drudge of work. I thank you lots & lots.

We are all going about an hour hence, to hear Mark Hambourg play; come along—you shall have a front seat! [MTP]. Note: Mark Hambourg was a particularly successful pianist and student of Leschetizky.
