Many music writer fails to speak the
truth from sheer sympathy for the per-
former. This is especially the case when
writing of women singers. 1t is much
easier to speak with severity of violinist,
usually man. These writer's who would
excuse themselves out of what they are
pleased to call their kind-heartedness, for
get the great public which is being hood
winked by their utterances. The greatest
injustice is, of course, that done to the
public. but the genuine artist, what despair
can equal his in the utter helplessness at
having his noble endeavor, the finished re-
suit of a striving that has lasted for years,
described in the same terms as those meted
out to the sham and to the charlatan. Hav-
ing said that the critic should love music,
one has almost stated all his requirements.
Loving it truly, he will not long remain ig-
norant concerning it, nor will he write
falsely about it. Technical knowledge is
really not one of the first essentials, but it
is, indeed, desirable. The best critic is able
to discuss intelligently each instrument,
and the proper method of playing it. Far
more important is it, however, that the
critic should have large ideas about music.
Ii he has a deep underlying love for it.
these profound conceptions will not go far
aStray regarding IL. LII VIII not ne long De-
| fore he will gain much practical expert
ence, much ability to weigh ana measure,
simply from going to many concerts. He
will learn not TO be greatly impressed, for
instance, by players who. like Sampson,
conquer partly by reason of their long
hair. In fairly large city these
concerts afford a great variety, both in
kind and quality, and the critic, if he be
quick TO learn, will soon accumulate a
store of valuable knowledge. To supple
ment this knowledge by that which may be
gained from the large number of excellent
books on music and the composers, is
neither dull nor difficult task. What
life is more beautiful than that OF Schubert,
which is an unfinished symphony in it's
genius. sweetness and modesty? No one
can write comprehensvely of his works
without knowing the story of the hard
struggle and his untimely end, for in his
songs and symphonies Schubert's brief
life is fulfilled in spirit.
