usually be classed under two heads
imitators and creators. Those of the
first class are plentiful, and no matter
how well they render a musical num-
ber, they leave a feeble impression
with their hearers. They follow the
prescriptions of others only and have
no individuality strong enough to do
anything original. The second class
of students are scarce How
many do you know of? They are those
who think and concentrate while they
work and have a goal somewhere in
the aesthetic realms of art and beauty,
which to common mortals is so far
that they cannot reach it. These stu
dents become the champions of true
art. They know music to be the god
lest of all refining influences in a
community. They are a rare and
costly asset to a state and nation; they
are the sparkling gems in the crown
of a nations culture.

or personally. Godowsky is an inter-
nationally useful man. He is an artist
with musicians. an advisor with peda-
gogs, a supreme court with composers

mar the face of his career, and none
ever will; for the man knows the
