MUSICAL REVIEW.
Nothing can be more gratifying than the number
OF new editions OF the best classical works that
have come out this Winter. To be sure, the ma
jority of them of European extraction, and our
own publishers content themselves with providing
their patrons with stray songs and salon pieces.
Less trash appears the shelves Of the publishers
than during other seasOns-a satisfactory evidence
Of the progress OF the public In musical taste.
There are few exceptions, however, principally
namby-pamby songs, whose only merit is
simplicity. They sell. particularly in the coun-
try, and few OF the publishers care for any.
thing else in music. The superior character of
the selections sung at the leading concerts this
Winter gives encouragement to the publication of
good music. The progress made and the influence
exercised by such institutions as the New York
Conservatory Of Music cannot be overestimated
At Q recent concert we have heard Conservatory
pupils sing and play works which were formerly
the exclusive province Of the professional artist
The piano has become q necessary article Of furn-
ture, and music teachers reap an abundant har-
vest in this city. Quite revolution Is taking
place In music publishing. The Board of Trade
mOnopolists are giving way before the agents
Of European houses, as the false economy
of the former cannot gain the confidence of the
puble like the enterprise Of the latter. New pub
fishing houses are springing up in every CITY, and
the field is becoming more extensive every year.
