MuslcIsn's Misfortune.

One OF the most notable cases Of
sudden loss Of musical memory re-
lated is that Of Emile Prudent. One
day. in a concert, while playing his
own concerto with orchestra. he lost
all consciousness Of the connection
between the notes, and from that time
be had music only az confused
sounds: neither from his own play
ing nor from that of the orchestra
could he gain a distinct idea. and
found that he had completely lost the
ability to read the notes. From this
attack. however, he soon recovered;
the gravest symptoms disappeared
the next day. but from that time he
could play only from notes.
