Rv an unfortunate inadvertence the statement
was made in one OF The Tribune's musical reviews
a few days ago that Leopold Winker was teacher
of the nIanoforte at Wells College. The writer
founded him with Mr.. Emil K Winkler, who is d.
rector of the musical department at Wells. Mr..
Leopold WiukIer is able man, and no harm Is
likely TO have resulted from the blunder which as
sociated him with the well known college at Au-
rora. So are both winklers able men and earnest
musicians.

The characteristic feature Of this programme is
the group of folksongs with which it ends. In
these songs the scientific meaning OF the term has

the that they widely pleasing 20 the
people. but in the sense that they the peoples
creations. Folk music, whether II be I'm the form
Of the dance of song. is that body Of music
which mas grown up in the different peoples Of the
world a spontaneous utterance and as an ex-
preston Of their feelings without the influence OF
conscious art. Folksong. far at least as their
history is traceabe. born. not made They
give voice to the joys. sorrows. aspirations OF a
people rather than individual. and they are
therefore correctly described be the fruit Of the
creative capacity Of people instead OF the prod

characteristic specimens OF the musical idioms oF
the peoples from whom they borrowed. They
reject their diversions. their employments. their
Joys and their sorrows To preserve the intimacy
which always exists between the words and music
