A representative Of the press recently
had an interview with tho great maestro.
Tho conversation turned upon music
The inevitable organ grinder had struck
up the equally inevitable selection from

or he did rot find this method Of rendering
his music peculiarly irritating.
NO, no replied; "on the contrary, 10
plcascs me +"
Then no turned suddenly 10 Carducci,
tho famous poet, who had just entered.
"Carducci, how should YOU lilSo TO hcar
tho people massacrlng your songs and
poems through tho public streets? You
would cat them alive, non vern:"
"No," TO replied, not mt all. I love
the Icnplo. though love them az an ideal,
not as an assomhlage OF ignorant and vul-
gar individuals, aud perhaps that Is why
they do not understand me- With You it is
very different. Your melodies have be-
como part of tho natiouni life Z"
