wrote as follows:
"He gave a technically excellent and in
terpretatively admirable performance OF the

American music. The following confession
in the Deutsches Blatt is therefore worth

of love song. for in ancient times women
were not free to receive outspoken avowals
from their admirers, and consequently the
amorous swain was obliged to sing under
her windows. meath the sheltering shades
of night; so the serenade has retained more

sort of composition, even to this day. The
biggest and most appealing of modern song
