THE general trend is toward the separation
OF the difficult arts in the sense that each one
must aim at the satisfaction in the fullest meas
ure of the emotions peculiar to itself. Thus, the
true inwardness o: music being purely acous-
tic, the art so expresses itself without being
concerned with feelings alien to its nature"
MUSIC IN BONDAGE.
Stravinsky is far from content with the part
music plays in the theatre. Indeed, as he ex-
pressed it. he is deeply distressed
Music in the theatre is still held in bondage
10 other elements" he said Wagner, in par
ticular, is responsible for this servitude in
which music labors to-day
But the composers distress is not limited &c
the lot OF music in the theatre.
Programme music, for instance he went
on. has been obviously discontinued as being
distinctly an uncouth form which already has
had its day; but music, nevertheless, still drags
out its life in accordance with these false
notions and conceptions. Without absolutely
deiying the programme. musicians still draw
upon sources foreign to their art AS conse-
quence, inspiration is not found in matter
purely musical, but in subjects which have
nothing to do with music.
LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE.
La musique est trop bette pour exprim.r

What is the province of modern music and

asked
The future development Of music he said,
probably will be along lines which will tend to
preserve it as all art purely acoustic, but which,
not taking cxtrarcous matters into account.

normal"

The significance Of the message will be more
