attractive subject for the musical es-
SayiSt No other great composer Of
the last century was so little anxious to
explain himself. He originated no new
technical development; he was very
little influenced by contemporary art
lists Of any kind and. compared with
Wagner, Liszt, !3crlioz and even Cesar
Franck, his influence on the subsequent
course OF musical events has been on
the whole slight. Yet his own power
as q creative artist has been steadily
gaining fuller recognition. Twenty
years ago, in the year before his death,
opinion about his music was still sharp
~ divided between enthusiasm and dis
arrangement. Both views were tinGed
with prejudice and affection. and each
side fed these qualities In It's oppon-
cnts by it's own display OF them. Now,
except for n small coteric Of recalci-
trants, no responsible critics deny his
greatness. even though they bear him
little affection: and those who by ma
lure or by grace are whole-heartcd
Brahms lovers have the courage OF
their convictions sufficiently to allow
that he had certain limitations and
defects.--London Times.
