RANGE OF MUSIC INFINITE
No Grounds for Fear That All Possible
Combinations Of Notes Have
Been Exhausted.

J In music, as in other creative and
interpretative arts, the popular de-
mand is always for something new.
Always there are enough brSadly
educated persons who can find satis-
faction in the music and literature
and painting of the past to keep the
work of former masters alive, bat
they are a mere handful compared
to the masses who demand something
timely, something which expresses
the collective emotion of the mo-
ment. This demand exerts a tre-
mendous pressure on the composer Of
music for vaudeville and light opera.
Their failure to produce a strikingly
original song or march at least once
month has led to the belief that
about all of the possible combina-
tions of notes have been exhausted.
The fact is that a writer might as
well complain that all permissible
combinations of words in the die
tionary have been used by previous
writer's. The range of music is in
finite, just as the range of literature
is infinite, or the range of combining
line and color. What is needed in
music and the other arts is not new
instruments of expression, but new
emotions and thoughts to express,
and these, as the history of the arts
shows, are not dependent upon rules,
but upon the ability of the artist to
see deeper and farther than the run
of men. There are certain bounds
outside of which he cannot go unless
he is strong enough and gifted
enough to carry his art with him.
Many weaklings, failing under fixed
rules, break the rules and complain
of public indifference. The great
artist never breaks rule except to
improve it. He sweeps rules, public
and everything before him. And
also he incidentally casts discredit
upon the mediocre who complain
that "there are no new tunes. I'm
