Punctuation In Piano Playing.

X joke is going the rounds of the press about the girl whose music teach CT wished to compliment her, but of whom he could only say that she play ed the rests excellently. This is, how ever, real praise of a sort; for ja is net every voting student of music who is careful abort playing the rests we'll Indeed, a great many players seem to forget that the rests are just as much of the piece as Is the punctuation in d sentence. Nowadays people do not put in so much punctuation as they used to do, but the paiises in the voice are there just the same and are readi- ly understood by good readers thd al- ways regarded. The rests ill music are like the pauses in leading that are needed to give expression to the sen- tences.
