Music and Musicians.

Paper Read Before the Chautauqud Circle.
N N USIC is the language of the
NV soul. Without a longing for
IVY all that is beautiful in har-
mony and, tone, without the
appreciation of the divine inspiration
Of music, no one should attempt to en-
ter into the sacred temple of music.
Education and talent are necessary to
successful musical career; without
the gift of talent, nothing can be ac-
complished. The consideration of
money is, of course, an important fac
tor, but many have spent their all
trying to reach fame and glory, only to
find themselves rejected by impartial
critics. No true master ever put
money consideration above his art.
Musical genius has always gone hand
in hand with poverty and want. How
many young dreamer has laid down
his burden because public opinion was
against him! He would rather die
with copy of Wagner's composition
in his hand, than play the music de-
manded by an unappreciative public.
Classical music will always remain
the teaching for recognized talent; and
an education not touching upon the
classics, has no value in the eyes of
the musical world A rising musicians
first duty is to seek acquaintance with
such masters as Wagner, Mozart and
Bach; he must know something about
Beethoven and Rossini. Only through
many years of hard study in the vari.
Gus branches of music, such as har.
mony, expression and the literature
pertaining to music and musicians
does an education become of value
and when once recognized by the lead
ing critics of Europe and America, &
musicians future is assured.
Here in America it is very difficult
to find the right teachers, although {
great number of noted musicians have
F found success on our shores, the aver
, age music teacher is sad failure. l
is a crime to rob man on the highwa,

York, receives hundreds of letters
weekly from young folks who hope to
get chance to have their voice tested
by that great authority. Most of them
cannot sing at all. But their teacher
has urged them on, and vanity has done
the rest. Not only has money been
thrown away, but their fond dreams
never come true.
Musical prodigies are discovered
like precious stones, and many mas
ter whose star never rose, came to
fame through the success of his schol-
ar. The leading musical directors are
the scholars of famous teachers. In
Berlin, Paris and London they found
their first glory. All the famous
singers, such as Melba, Calve and
Eames, received their first ovations in
the cities of Europe, where classical
opera is the one source of real enjoy
ment. In this country the eminent
singers find welcome, and it is to
be regretted that money plays SO large
role between manager and singer.
Grand opera can only be heard where
profit is assured. Surely no manager
can be expected to bring an expensive
troupe from Europe merely for the
honor there is in it, America is a
country where theaters are built for
the money there is in the business.
Municipal ownership of playhouses
for the benefit of the lovers of music,
rich and poor alike, has not been un-
dertaken as yet. Musical culture
depends largely upon public
spirited citizens. Those who care for
good music should subscribe for fund
to be used for the education of the
public at large, alpd an auditorium
should be built in every city, so that
our less fortunate can enjoy classical
music to their hearts content. The
argument, that the American public
cares little for the works of the
old masters, is wrong. Out of a
hundred theater goers, ninety per cent
will gladly pay their money to heal
good music. But the American public
is supporting SO many so-called musi
cal extravaganzas because nothing
better is being offered. Those tiimsy
works last season or two, and M
more.
