names of Raft, Rubinstein Saint-Saens Tschai-

Listzs place as an original composer of

This belief is erroneous as 1 nave argued IN my

been the musical practitioners OF Hungary, bat

most marked nlelodic pecuiarity, the frequent
use of a minor scale containing even two

Oriental music generally (and the Magyars are
Orientals) the songs have q rhythnical pc
culiarity which is direct product OF the
Magyar language. This popularity consists of
a figure in which the emphasis is shifted from
the strong to the weak part by making the first
take only a fraction of the time of the second.
It is the Scotch snap already alluded to, but
in Hungarian music it occurs in the middle of
the measure instead of the beginning. The re-

contributions to the chamber music field with
his quartet and quintet for pianoforte and

serves more attention than it has received from

The name Of Franz List QS11'S6) looms
large in the annals of the pianoforte and its
music. His playing established the modern cult
as well as the modern technical system, bringing
the latter to as high a degree of perfection as
seems possible with the instrument constructed
as it now is 1t was LISTS good fortune to
discover capabilities in the pianoforte which
up to his time had not been thought Of, and the
fact that he developed them more on their ex-
ternal side than their spiritual is accounted
for by the fact that he was virtuoso who from
childhood to his death old man lived in
the incense of popular adulation. Quite carly
in his career he conceived the idea that the
piauoforte was a universal instrument in the
eense that it could be made to speak the Ian
euase of the entire instrumental company.
When he published his arrangements OF Bee
fhoyen's symphonies he stated that every or
chestral effect could be reproduced on the piano.
forte When Mendelssohn read this he turned
to the G minor symphony of Mozart and said:
LET me hear the first eight measures with the
