Ignacy Jan Paderewski and his manager Hugo Gorlitz sail home to Europe, having performed 107 concerts instead of the planned 80, and having received $628 per concert instead of $366. Paderewski leaves New York in a rush, having not written a letter of endorsement of Steinway & Sons pianos. However, William Steinway will soon contract Paderewski for the second season in America – for more temperate number of concerts (60 instead of 80).
