Excerpt from Pacific Coast Musical Review, Vol. 25: October 4, 1913 James Howard King is a pupil of Oscar Weil and he revealed the artistic virtues of a genuine musician. There is nothing ostentatious about Mr. King. He is serious and conscientious. He thinks first and last of his music and never of himself. We heard him inter pret two compositions by Chopin and we were surprised and delighted with the exquisite limpidity of his touch, the broad conception of the poetic style of the master, the delicacy of execution and the genuinely artistic taste in shading. We have never heard an interpretation of the Ballade that appealed more forcibly to our sense of romantic proportion. Both artist-pupil and teacher are entitled to hearty congratulations for the results obtained in this instance.
