Musical Topics
Edited by Mrs. X. L. Skahen

Herein lay the weak point Of the
plucked instrument. When the plec-
trum Is held in the hand Of the per-
former, as in the case Of the either
and its kind, very considerable de-
grees Of loudness are within the
range Of the instrument, but the spin
ct has plectrum which requires al
ways certain force to make 1t pluck
the string at all and nothing more
Is possible, and nothing less.
The result, is--therefore, somewhat
monotonous, and the composer was
obliged to rely upon the careful pro-
gressions and brilliant executions.
The early makers soon added an
other keyboard and an additional set
of strings and used some other de-
vices, such as mating the strings.
These double spinets were called
harpsichords.
The pianoforte is said to have been
invented by Christofori in 1909. He
replaced the jack. of the spinet by a
hammer, changing the mechanism
somewhat but, singularly enough, it
was far less altered than we should
now suppose. There was no desire
apparently to change the character
of tone from that familiar to and
beloved by the musicians of that day,
blending as it did, very tremendously
with the lutte and other chamber in
struments then in everyday use.
The early pianofortes were, there
fore, provided with wooden hammers.
One maker used most ingenious ham,
mers made of paper. 1t was only
later and very gradually that first
leather and then wool felt were used
to cover the hammers, and then wool
and thus the modern pianoforte tone
was gradually evolved.
The next step was to adopt a ham,
mer mechanism to the large wing
shaped harpsichord and then at once
the grand piano began to take shape.
a. few Of the early grand pianos sur
vlve, and though not powerful in tone
and constructionally weak, they were
singularly sweet in tone-quality.
Nevertheless, the square piano was
on account of its efficiency and small
size. extremely popular. 1t long
kept the grand piano in the back
ground and the homes of the well-to-
do were always supplied with these
little four-foot oblong pianos, the
casework being often very delicate in
design and workmanship.
Greater power then sought for, and
greater size was the result, until the
elegant square or table piano grew
to be the huge structure Of earl Vic
torian days, which, in America, has
only quite recently become a thing
of the past. In this country it went
out earlier, being discarded as the
grand pieno and the convenient up
right type were developed.
The upright shape is quite an old
idea Upright spinets are very rare
but they were sometimes made and
were wing-shaped with the narrow
end turned upward.-The Etude.

NOR that additional favorable news

enced a drastic cleaning out the last
week. Distillers was the leader of this
group in point Of activity and rose 2la
points for the session. A fair amount OF
the buying represented short selling. but
the purchasers upon entering the market
found that the absorption by insiders the

greatly reduced the floating supply with
