"Genesung'' cf Franz, or the ever

charmed a critical audience. Miss Mary

Schubert's time, said the lecturer.
Schubert led the revolt against the
classic forms, and It was his task to

chief aim.
Schumann was the founder of modern
German music. he said More cuiti-

GET IT FIRST-NOT LAST

When cold grips your system It IS
convincing proof that your condition il

indeed to simply trust your strength to
throw it off, because neglected colds
have brought more serious sickness
