Musical Criticism.

A correspondent takes writer's on music to
,task, and complains, with some carnestness of the
defects of their style and manner We think there
is some ground for his severity; and yet, recalling
what we have read in the American journals, we
must say that great deal of it was quite equal to
the musical criticism that we get in any newspa-
pcrs. - 81
Not a little vaporing ssntmcntality has been
printed in some quarters, and much meaningless
and disgusting adulation in Others both the result
of an ambitious ignorance; but taking the whole
of writing about the art, that which appears in
tho professional weeklies, as we'll as that of the
daily prints, and we do not see that we offend more
grievousiy than the critics Of other nations.
Our correspondent is also mistaken, in our opn-
ion, when he says that no people are more suscep-
tible TO the enjoyment of music, end few among
whom it finds more ready and universal encour-
agement, than the Americans We believe no
people, not excepting the English, are more def
cient in musical susceptibility and taste; and il Is
because there is no standard OF excellence in the
popular mind that critics write with looseness
and want Of principle.
1t lie true that we pay vast amounts OF money to
few foreign celebrities; fashion forces US into II;
but that is different thing from real or general
appreciation of the art No doubt love of it is
growing, indeed we have often taken occasion 10
remark upon the rapid development of artistic
taste of all kinds in this country, where the poti
cal and social freedom allows every ciass of men
TO perfect itself in whatever improves and adorns
existence; but until music becomes n common
household possession with us, as il is in Germany,
cannot cay that is universal 1t lie yet only
a luxury for the rich, and not the every day nour.
ishment, as it should be, of the masses.
Good critics may do much towards correcting
the public judgment Of musical performances; they
may dffuse wholesome maxms among those whe
are in the habit of frequentipg operas and con
certs; and thus they may create the demand for q
higher order Of excellence in artists; but amount
Of mere criticism will implant genuine love OF
music where il s now absent. But education could
do sothe education of the public schools, in which
music should be one Of the branches taught; and
the education of fete days and festivals, Of which
we ought 10 have many. more. AT present, the
military and FIRE companies supply nearly all thu
instruction OF this kind that the greater portion
the people receive.--Ne,D York Post.
