See http://tinyurl.com/ybcwqwdy, sourced from
http://www.forte-piano-pianissimo.com/ignacejanpaderewski.html, which
apparently takes the image from a book whose title starts (or is) 'The
Music Goes Round.' My money is Frederick William Gaisberg, 'The Music Goes
Round' (Arno Press, 1977.) Snippet views at Google Books confirm that
there are mentions of Paderewski on ten pages, anyway!
