Stephen Fosters Songs
and "Camptown Races

touching and subtle melodists and
poets of all time" unless the char
acterization is justified by less than
half a dozen songs which echoed the
sentiments of the plantation negroes
of ante-bellum days. Very recently
Mr. o. G. Sonneck. chief of the music
division of the Library Of Congress,
published officially a Catalogue OF
First Editions of Stephen c. Foster"
That the publication was trifc anon
alous Mr.. Sonneck admitted when he
remarked in his predatory note: ITO
maintain that the historical interest
in Stephen c. Foster has so increased
within the last fifty years as to create
craving for photographic informa-
tion about him would be absurd, but
that his works have become fairly in
teresting biblographically is certain.
One reason for this explains itself
from the rarity Of the original editions
of his songs" Is IL not possible that
the interest In Fosters songs may be
injured by giving them an extravsgant
importance In native song literature :?
We gather from Mr.. Sonneck's essay
that Foster wrote over $50 songs, and
we have scanned all the titles in his
book. scanned them with the interest

Strawinsky Quartet a Novelty
To Be Played by Flonzaleys

by the Russian ballets brought him
European fame.
In 1918 his "Sacre du Printemps,"
staged by Nijinski. aroused hostility,
but when the work was given in concert
form it met with general approval.
With the "Sacre du Printemps'
Strawinsky broke with the tonal sys--
tenn actually in use. He is more and
more freeing himself from the rules Of
system and becoming more severe IN
style. His harmonies are based on the
affinity of chords and constructed along
the lines of what might be called choral
polyphony. In the same manner his
work shows a process OF evolution as
regards the element of tone color. dis
regarding established customs regulat-
ing the fusion Of different tonal quail
ties and seeking the character and tone
relationships OF each individual timbre.
In following his bent, Strawinsky has
sought chamber music, as exemplihed IN
the string quartet. for which he wrote
in 1914 the three short movements
given in the programme.

music, writes about the new pieces:
