MEMORY OF THE MUSICIAN
Great Geniuses Have Had Different
Ways Of Learning Notes With.
out System.

No system of association will help q
musician to learn his music. He may
practice an individual system, such as
visualizing. memorizing harmonically
or any other way, but he cannot dodge
learning the music. Frank La Forge,
who occupies unique position as an
accompanist. will study a song away
from the instrument, lay 1t aside. and
then go to the piano and play 1t. Un-
hampered by notes, he follows the
slightest change made by the artist,
and is SO successful that his services
are sought by the best singers. There
are other musicians who memorize q
composition by merely playing 1t over.
and others have been known to mem.
orize by hearing only. Think of that
brilliant circle which gathered in tho
salon Of George Sand in the early part
Of the nineteenth century. List and
Chopin, seated at two pianos, would
play incidental music for the anna
teur plays, and both of them, without
notes, could play from any of the great
operas. Instance after instance can
be cited regarding the remarkable
memory Of musicians. To bundle them
into one class. and dismiss the prob
lem by stating they were geniuses
amenable to no law, Is to miss the i'm.
portant lesson for US. La Fargo used
his memory. SO did List and Chopin,
SO do all musicians, therefor the fac
