ven and other Great Masters.
Ragtime has been given its rating by
Il. W. Root. musical authority. He
says II bears the same relation to the
great things OF the musical world that
Mother Goose's melodies do to the mas
terpieces OF the worlds literature.
| While criticlsing this lowly but ex-
tremely popular sort Of music, Mr..
Root says 1t came from the great macs.
tros of the earth. Wagner lapsed into
1t much after the manner OF statesmen
who sometimes get tired and drop In
to versfication. Mozart also had mo-
ments Of fatigue or exuberance when
he dashed Off few notes In the meas
ure of the cake walk melody.
Some of the great litterateurs have
written along the mental altitude of
Mother Goose. says Mr.. Root, and so
have Bach and Beethoven yielded to
the impulse to put their lofty thoughts
into sharps and fiats that would be ap-
preclated In Halsted street
II would not do away with ragtime
music" said Mr.. Root. IF some one
should ask me If would blot out Moth
er Goose's rhymes. would say unhes-
itatingly | would not do II. Mother
Goose Is a good thing in its way; so is
ragtime.
ITO make the matter plain, ragtime
is syncopation. All of the great mas
ters have employed syncopated notes.
That Is all right. or the masters would
not have done 1t. But they did not
write all Of their works In syncopa-
tion. That shows that -syncopation is
good for awhile. but we do not want
too much Of it.
Now, Mother Goose's literature is a
good thing, but suppose you had moth
ing else to read. You would soon get
tired of 1t after awhile"
What would you suggest be done
about itY' he was asked.
Let 1t alone. The people who like
Il may learn after awhile to like some
thing else better"
What objection lies against ragtime
music?"
1T Is a repetition of the same thing:
that's all. There is nothing else In the
world the matter with 1t. AS | said, IL
It were not a good thing the masters
would not have used IT,"
Among many oddities OF ragtime an
example Of its effect may be seen In the
setting Of "Old Hundredth" to that
measure.
There Is no such thing as good mu-
'ic or bad music" said Professor Emil
Iiebling. You may set good music to
)ad or vicious workings and the music
becomes bad by implication. So with
'agtime. II is now lending itself to
ow vaudeville. In the main, and be-
ause of that association the music Is
denounced. The song from Carmen
Love Is Wild Bird is one of the
'est examples Of ragtlme In modern
music. In the overture to Don Juan,
y Mozart. and in the sixth two voiced
nvention Of Bach we have good ex.
mples of syncopation. Ragtime is
imply having its day. 1t will be for
often as a craze In a few years.
