listen with the slightes nodlcum of pleas
 ure to those so-called musicians whom.
 though they may posses fair degree of
 talent. have allowed animal eXuberanCe
 and enthusiasm to entirely outweigh ar tistic discretion and understanding. In
 either case such executants will never attain any great degree of excellence from an artistic standpoint. There must
 be very nicely balanced proportion of
 talent,-which will enable the student to
 conceive to a greater or lesser extent an
 artistic, musical lde ll,-and intellect,
 which will enable the student to compre- bend and carry into practical execution the means which must be adopted in
 order to interpret and express the com
 poser's ideal. Technique. although supe- rior to mechanism, is also the means to an end, and this end must be the ar
 tistic, logical and intelligent interpreta- or instrumental. Granted talent and brains. the student must also possess un- limited industry, patience and persever- ance in perfecting the smallest detail,- Quickness of perception. and a genuine love of art for arts sake. The most sue cessful students also evince loyalty and deference to their teachers. They do that which they are given to uo without ques- ton or faut-findng. They regard their teacher as a benefactor and an educator, not as some one to humor their caprices and pamper to their taste; and having placed their confidence in the teachers better and more mature judgment, earn estly endeavor to reap some benefit from the suggestions given from lesson to les son. It will he observed that in keeping with the subject of this paper, l have mentioned what seems to be the main re- Quirements for the study of music an art, which. of course, excludes all con Sideration of those who study merely as an accomplishment or pastime As time forbids, I have left almost untouched the very exceptional qualities of individuality
 originality and genius which constitute true greatness. and without which, no one has ever attained any permanent suc- cess. or standing, in the musical world. In regard to the apprecia ton of music as an art, shall consider the general public rather than the student, for the student ia already supposed to possess apprecia- tion according to his or her stage of de- velopment. So far as a general apprecia- tion of musical art Is concerned, 1t Is found only among the most cultivated communities. A true appreciation of lit- erature. art and science, leads eventually to demand for good music, and an in telligent appreciation of the same. In Germany the Land of Music" truly call ed the students Heaven" let us glance at the conditions. First. the musician of real merit holds a high position both socially and professionally. ranking next to the aristocracy. and above the mercan- tile classes, and persons of mere wealth
 Second. the public, having a sincere re- gard and reverence for the musicians in tellectual and artistic attachments, is willing to look up to him as an instructor and an educator, and

places itself in a receptive attitude, trying to grasp and comprehend. at least a portion of the message he has to de-
 liver. It must be understood that this, of
 course, is true only of those musicians
 who have proven themselves worthy and
 cultivated. The title of Professor, for in-
 stance. Is never adopted by musician,
 unless the same has been deservedly con-
 ferred upon him by certain members of
 the nobility or by one of the universities.
 This honor is only achieved by those who,
 through years of artistic endeavor, and
 through research. have firmly established
 their position as artists and musicians.
 It must be acknowledged that this ap-
 preciation of the musician and his music
 exists only to a very limited extent in America. The lack of 1t Is due to many causes. In the first place. it Is largely the fault of the musicians themselves
 on account of their gratuitous playing in public. This is demoralizing to the mu- sician as a professional, because he gives to the public free of charge. the results of years of hard study and toll. The right to practice law or medicine, for in- stance, can be acquired in one-third of the time that musician must study be- fore he can become even an artistic ex- ecutant, while the development of crea- tive ability Is a matter of lifelong study and research. And yet. on account of the musicians giving their services without remuneration. 1t is becoming more and
 more dlIncult Tor f1rSt rate artist to urdw an audience that will pay expenses Because of this the artist not only cheap ems himself as a professional, but cheap ems his art in placing 1t upon a level with the productions of amateurs, and Would-be musicians. whose efforts are valueless. The result is that the general public attends most willingly the con- certs given by those who have neither the courage nor stamina to place some value upon their efforts, and blindly re- fuses to pay N for the privilege of list ening to such artists as Bauer, Hoffman, Justin Thatcher and others, thereby re- maining grossly, lamentably ignorant of true art, and great artists. Small won der. then, that we often hear very in- telllgent persons express dislike for classical music. If they hear 1t at all, they hear 1t executed by students who have neither the mental, artistic nor tech- nical ability to cope with It's difficulties, and having no comprehension of the com position themselves. can convey to the listener only most erroneous idea of Its content and beauty This does not im- ply that students should not attempt the cassics. but rather that they should have the necessary preparation, both technical and musical. before endeavorinE to in- terp1et the thoughts of the great masters, so that they may give pleasure, rather than agony, to the listener. I congratu- late The Music Study Club' upon Its successful organization, and hope that Its efforts may result. not only in ben- citing the members individually, but in elevating the musical standard in Mont gomery. and the appreciation of music generally.
