came to the conclusion that Tolstoy was beyond his depth in musical art. He had taken up crazy idea about music, and a man of his high standing in literature had no business touching a theme with which he was unfamiliar. According to the philosophy of Tolstoy this music serves to hypnotize the mind and destroy the will. Pozdnuishef is made to say in the nar- rative of his life:
 Music instantaneously transports me into that mental condition In which he who composed it found himself. I blend my soul with his, and together with him am transported from one mood to an- other; but why this is so I. cannot tell For instance. he who composed the Kreutzer Sonata-Beethoven-h knew why he was in that mood. That mood impelled him to do certain things, and, therefore. that mood meant something for him, but it means nothing for me. And that is why music excites and does not bring to any conclusion
 Now that is all boshl The Berlin cor respondent of the Musical Courier Is right when he suggests that Tolstoy never had any appreciation of music. That writer says, in the last issue of the Courier, that Tolstoy's death has created a new demnd for the Kreutzer Sonata, and that it has had revival on concert programmes Tt is well known says the Berlin correspondent, that the prophet of Yasnay Polyana became in later years an enemy and hater of the arts. It is very doubtful if he ever had any real love or appreciation of musie his ideas on the subject expressed at various times would indicate this; furthermore, real musi- cal connolsseur would never have given Beethoven's most famous sonata for piano and violin such illogical treatment as Tolstoy did in his celebrated novel;"
