pie and the precept of the Masters in
Music. How thankful we are that we can
have their works in our homes. Thankful
that we cannot excuse ourselves for not
knowing them. Thankful that we are able
to know Of their personalities, their every
day lives their friends their influences
their sorrows and their joys.
Thankful today are we for biographies,
and good publishers, and for inventors,
who have given us the modern pianoforte,
the organ, the pianoas the victrolas, the
various mechanical means of bringing the
best music to the homes Of the people
Thankful to the conductors, the artists,
the orchestras, the choirs the players and
singers; the musicians, who resuscitate for
us the best Of the old and present to US
the best Of the new, who preserve the
works Of the musical apostolic succession,
who inspire and enthuse and arouse US.
and impel us forward and onward.
And in the midst of the din ana blare
and gorgeousness Of the modern music we
should be thankful for a man like Felix
Weingartner who writes upon his banner
Forward to Mozart" Not back to the
classical purity, but forward to it!
And thankful should we be for the dawn
OF the higher splendors in the evolution Of
