one to attempt 1t In public unless first class artist;
but We confidently place 1t In value and brhancy
far above any or Arditis vocal walizes and the So
prano who Will succeed in giving it It's due rendition
may never be in want OF an enthusiastic encore.
Arthur Mathison has written very pretty Italian
words to 1t. The English version will also be found
in keeping with the spirit OF the music
''The Joys OF Love- by Albtes. is vocal waltz Of
a less ambitious standard and an excellent STUDY
for advanced pupIs. The subjects are simple and
attractive and catch the readily, and the
rangement OF them is In accord. 1t Is the work OF
q musician who understands how to bring out the
strong points OF q young soprano voice without
sraining after effect.

Albert w. Berg, and very cleverly arranged, too lie
avoids the fault OF crOwding into one work OF this
KIND too many subjects from opera, and exhibits
remarkable taste in selecting few that blend well
together ana form coherent work. All these ar.
ragements viii be found very servceab,e to pupils.
