ly unsuitable in my opinion, for general in young
or new school. The same may be said of the speci-
mems Of German music and of the ancient GregOrian
chants such as, Client, Wemai, LoVain Augsburg and
several others which for solcnnity and deep pathOs
probably never have been and much doubt whether
they ever can be excelled. But to do them Justice
they must be performed slow and with the most ex-
IRENE delcacy. 1t matters nothing object that the
majority of the hearers better pleased with loud
er and more rapid performance; for it is fact that
hearers of this class will at first be much pleased
with pieces similar to the above, performed in any
manner, and if performed in the last mention
ed they will discover their beauties at all.
would not by any advise to the introduction Of
great proportion of such pieces at into any
school even were they prepared for them, the taste
of the hearers well Of the performers must be
improved gradually, and to attempt the accommoda-

sic to consist entirely in the quantity Of sound emitted
and of course thinking there cannot be much OF
good thing, will teach their pupils both by precopt and
example to bray a,oay without any mercy, or regard
for the composer Of either the words or the music.

who make no preensions science in regard to mu-
