Discussing thie audiences before whom he had been playing of late, with a friend, a prominent band lead- er mentioned how readily the aver- age audience received and how wholeheartedly they applauded the great compositions which until com- paratively recently were only appre- ciated by the few.

EE _ ------------------------ mn, ISIC from Il Trovatore, selections from Pagliacei, La Boheme, and other great operas, The manner ig which these numbers were received showed that the missionary work had heen done and that the people were look- ing for the fine points in the per- formance of a familiar work. The band leader's friend remarked that this improved taste wis perhaps natural because the war had made the public more sober-minded. "No," sald' the great bandsman, "you have touched one of the reasons but not the main one. The one thing that has familiarized the average family with the best music played by bands and orchestras is the talking ma- chine. The records have done the missionary work and done it well. To these records is due « the greatest part of the credit for giving us genu- inely appreciative audiences to-day." Violinists before the public at present find the same condition ob- tains. As the.talking machine has become. a household possession among the masses as well as among the wealthy, practically everyone is familiar with some violinist's render- Ing of "Meditation," from Thais, Schubert's 'Ave Maria," Drdla's "Souvenir," Dvorak's "Humoresque," Nevin's "Mighty Lak a Rose," and other good works. _.Consequently MAE concert violinist plays to-day to 0 audience that is appreciative to a degree never dreamed of a few years {the { and ago. The same thing might be said of 'cellists, singers, pianists and art- ists in every branch of music. I -- The Use Of The "Loud Pedal." Anyone describing theif piano to a friend would probably mention its heawtiful case, the finish and de- ign, the action, hammers, strings, teys and nearly every part of its quipment excepting the insignificant little pedals which usually go unno- ticed. Yat these same little pedals we carefully fitted in ithe piano, vicely polished, and made strong en- nigh 0 endure years @f use, stren- tous use, for a very definite pur- nose, The purpose so often misun- lerstood is that of the "loud pedal" is many wrongly call it. A Mttle girl who was using the edal continuously, was asked why ind she said: "I'm trying to play] 'oud." Like many other pupils this) girl had a mistaken conception of the pedal, She had not been thor- oughly impressed with the idea that what she thought was a loud pedal is in reality a damper pedal, and may be used in the very softest passages, Loud playing should not bé done by pedal--the hands and arms are for that purpose. If the pedal is used promiscuously and incessantly fdr loud playing the ear becames accus- tomed to a conglomeration' of noises ome which in time would become neces- sary to satisfy the ear. This pedal is used primarily to connect tones when the fingers are unable to do so; also to continue a ghord 'until' the, following ~ one is sounded. Each new chord requires a change of pedal. Somebody once termed the pedal "the third hand" because #t can keep a group of tones sounding while both the inplayer's! hands are finding other keys to _pro- duce cther tones. ? But the so-called loud pedal does | cause the chords to soundilouder. It} removes «ll the dampers from the strings and each chord Is re<inforeoed| hy other tones according to the law of | sympathetic vibhations, causing the! piano to sound at its best, The pro-| per use of the pedal §8 a great im- provement, The wrong use of thei pedal is an abomination, Dickens and Music. Once again Dickens, the perennial- ly heloved, the forever human and hence the fallible ,comes in for his share of sophomoric criticism. In the course af an article in the New Music Review, H. Davey is quoted as classing Dickens among the liter- | ary men who have blundered in their | allusions to music He quotes aj ge from "Domhey and Son" "we do not remember,' says the | | med tun sharmony. Music Review, "as included on | many lists prepared by searchers | carpers An amateur violon- | says: 1 have whistled, { New hum- | 5, gone accurately through whole of Beethoven's Sonata in Mr. Davey adds: Now of all the twelve keys, B is the only one in | which Beethoven did not write a! sonata." | It is quite posgible that in these days of erudite proof readers, Dick-| slight error would have heen in- stantly corrected. His Sonata in B would have read Sonata in B Flat, and all would have been peace and After all the character referred to was a Tired Business Man (the junior member of the firm of "Dombey and Son") and such are likely to make mistakes even in Beet- hoven sonatas at the end of a long day. ' cellist the B ens' "The melody runs through everv piece like a road through a country hillside The art of conductifg is to clear the way for this melody, to see that no other instruments interfere with those which are at the moment enunciating the theme." This is the interesting statement of modest Alt- schufer, conductor of the Russian Symphony' Orcliestra, "It is nature who forces us to break forth inte singing when our heart is moved by great and sudden emotions" said no less a person than Cicero.
