ed on the verbal rack by official in

woman,s work i'm. Music.

According to Arthur Elson, the author
woman's work will always show more of
delicate grace and refinement than man 5,
and will be lacking in the broader effects or
strong feeling. A fault of women is the bad
habit OF imbuing their work with ro-
mantle tinge or exaggerated sentiment
Ihere has been no woman composer or hrst
rank, comparable 10 the tonal giants among
men, But women have not been generally
al work in the field until the last century.
The worid-famous men, whose music nVeS
through changing epochs and minor tastes,
might almost be counted on the fingers OF
the two hands; with the lesser men there
are a number of women composers who are
equals in work. Physically women are at
disadvantage; Liza Lehman said, II they
accomplish things they pay up for 1t. Yet
probably few noted women composers
would subscribe TO Lehman's opinion. Inc
lied FORM Robert Franz says, will be the
chief field of women. Mr.. Elson mentions
many women who are noteworthy IN mu-
sical history. His treatment of the sub
ject Is extensive rather than intensive, ana
from this standpoint cannot fail TO be OF
value to musicians, especially in an his
torical sense. There is a large number or
