14228Used; Like New/Used; Like New. A printed greeting from the important German pianist reproduced in her handwriting on a small card with a small halftone photograph. Two sayings about music are printed on the left one attributed to Beethoven and Ney's signature is printed on the right below her picture. Translated from the German: "The purpose of music is that God should not be forgotten. Beethoven: I recognize only one sign of man's superiority: goodness." A similar quotation is often attributed to Tolstoy. In very fine condition. 8.25 x 6 inches 21 x 15.5 cm.<br>Elly Ney was one of the 20th century's outstanding pianists. Of her great performing Willhelm Kempff wrote: "My ears still hear her melodious voice with its unmistakable hint of her Rhineland origins which had the gift of establishing immediate contact with everyone she spoke to. This happened even more intensely when she stepped onto the concert platform. Just one mysterious chord Beethoven's D minor sonata for instance and the listener was drawn into her magnetic field. What then ensued cannot and should not be described in words nor should it be scientifically dissected. Those who had ears heard for themselves. But that was by no means the end of the matter. A realisation continued to resonate in her listeners' hearts as it had begun to resonate from the moment this greatest of performers stepped onto the platform - the realisation that artistry of this quality draws its strength from roots that have their being in the unfathomable depths of the human soul." unknown books

1933S6246Berlin:: Julius Springer 1933. 1933. 8vo. Pages 137-144. Entire volume: viii 816 pp. 2 figs. Modern navy cloth gilt spine. Blind-stamp of the Carnegie Institution of Washington Mount Wilson Observatory. Fine. FIRST EDITION. "Delbruck scattering" described the coherent scattering of light by electrostatic fields "The deviation from the Klein-Nishina formula that Meitner and her students had pursued for so long was finally explained: the 'missing' gamma radiation had been transformed into positron-electron pairs. The process later known as 'materialization' required gamma radiation in close proximity to a nucleus and was enhanced as Meitner and her students had found with increasing gamma energies and greater nuclear charge. Her last paper on the Klein-Nishina deviations was in press when this discovery was made. In a note added in proof Meitner's assistant Max Delbruck attributed the deviations from the Klein-Nishina formula to 'the positive electrons that are formed in various elements of middle to high atomic number by the gamma radiation from ThC" and even more readily by the harder gamma radiation from the reaction of alpha particles with Be.' Pair formation was an astonishing confirmation of the most controversial aspect of relativistic electron theory." - Sime. Pais Inward bound p. 386; Sime Meitner p. 132.
