AUTHORS’ NOTE

Our warmest thanks must go to all those throughwhose kindness the material for this book was assembled.We are particularly indebted to Mrs. RobertWoods Bliss and to the Honorable Harry S Trumanfor their generosity of time and spirit in givingus invaluable personal recollections of Paderewski.

The following publishers kindly allowed us the useof copyrighted material: Charles Scribner’s Sons,facts and quotations from THE PADEREWSKI MEMOIRS,by Ignace Jan Paderewski and Mary Lawton; RutgersUniversity Press, a quotation from PADEREWSKI AS IKNEW HIM, by Aniela Strakacz; The Macmillan Company,for facts from PADEREWSKI, THE STORY OF AMODERN IMMORTAL, by Charles Phillips; Harper’sMagazine, for a quotation from “Paderewski, the Paradoxof Europe,” by Colonel Edward M. House; theNew York Times Magazine, for a quotation from“The Paderewski Saga,” by Charlotte Kellogg (Mrs.Kellogg is also the author of PADEREWSKI, an excellentbiography for young people that would be of specialinterest to any readers who wish to investigate thesubject further); Simon and Schuster, Inc., for thequotation from MEN, WOMEN, AND PIANOS, copyright1954 by Arthur Loesser; Julian Messner, Inc., forthe story of Paderewski’s meeting with Clemenceauin 1922 told in THE WORLD OF CARNEGIE HALL, byRichard Schickel.

In an effort to give a complete and accurate pictureof Paderewski we investigated every availablebook and magazine article about him that we couldget hold of. The fact that so many were available isentirely due to the good offices of the Music Divisionof the Library of Congress to which we are continuallygrateful on this and other scores.
