PERTH INTERVIEW SEPTEMBER 26 1914 -CONT . ( 2 ) Jan , the pianist of the family , like his brothers was born in Odessa , and at 21 years of age is two years younger than Leo . Like his brothers also , he experienced that sudden intellectual development that made the Trio the asdonishment of more matured performers . When only seven years of age he gave his first public performance- an interpretation of Chopin - with great success . Since then , . he has studied under Leschetitsky , and has evolved such style and brilliant technique and phrasing as have gained him golden opinions . A celebrated London critic once dubbed him the " second Padereweski . " His favourite composers are Chopin and Listz . The young pianist recently received news that as the result of a special intercession of the Grand Duke Constantine , uncle of the Czar , he had been granted military dispensation . It is hard to estimate the importance of this dispensation , for its refusal would have meant taking him away from his work altogether . The Grand Duke is a patron of the Cherniavskys , and the three brothers and Miss Allan were naturally delighted with the news , Mischel , the cellist , is only 18. For his age he is singularly brilliant , and there is no doubt he is the possessor of a real gift for his instrument . It is recorded that he first asked for a ' cello at the age of 6 to the great amusement of his father , who declared that only plever people could play the cello . Mischel , however , was not to be denied ,, and when his father at last presented him with a ' cello he sat down to practise assiduously . Soon he had made such progress that he was sent to study under the great Popper . He remained under Popper another year and then completed his training under Herbert Wal enn of London . Today the young artist is highly regarded , and his work is always warmly appreciated , as is that of his two elder brothers . Taking them as a whole , the Maud Allan- Cherniavsky programes promise to rank high in the catalogue of this season's music . The world lost a promising musician when Maud Allan decided to become a dancer . At the time when she adopted her strangely new and impressive art , she was a pilt , ist with a brilliant record in Berlin and Leipzig Conservatoires such as as many a musician might envy . Justly enough , her people were proud of her , and they were not overpleased when she gave up the piano and under a light in classical A raiment . When she was studying in Germany the piano , she spent several months in Weimar as a student of Ferruccio Busoni , Busoni lived in Listz's house , which was not such a great distance from Goethe's own house in the Coetheplatz . and Miss Allan and a number of other students attended Busoni's cla ses every morning / . Two afternoons a weeks they had to appear in info . mal concerts at the Tempel Herrenhaus , and at other imes had ' tea with the maestro or arraaged picnics in the beautiful resorts around Weimar . Miss Allan spent several happy months in the old - world town and was , she declares , very sorry when she had to move on to Berlin to continue her studies .
