MUSICAL REVIEW.


As we predicted at the commencement Of the sea-
son, the younger houses the music trade FAST
pushing the huge monopOes out of their path and
becoming public favorltes. There will be rueful
countenances and terrible muss at the next meet
ing OF the dictatoral Board OF Trade next summer,
when they look back on the consequences OF their
own narrow-mnded stupidity and iniberality'
toward composers and the public. Their younger
neghbors have taken the first place now and the
board will soon become an Institution OF superans
nuated music dealers.
Ernest Reinking has established himself In COM
modiOus quarters on Fourth avenue and has a new
and large consignment Of classical and popular
works from the celebrated German houses OF Peters
and Bretkopf and Haerte. These editions have no
rivals in elegance, accuracy, neatness and cheap
ness. They consist of the very best works Of every
school and have become great favorites In Amer-
lea as they are In Europe.

kind.
The same house publishes a collection OF brilliant
little gems by Fradel consisting Of nocturne, Po-
lonaise polka march, funebre, galop and waltz. all
OF which are OF the best standards OF music. The
collection Is published unuer the appropriate name
OF Apollo,n and reflects great credit on Mr.. Fra
DEL who, it is to be hoped will not swerve from the
noble work in which he is engaged Merit will pay
better in the end than the most glittering trash.

faint idea OF the worhlessness Of this affair.
