taste does not" This is as true in
music as it is in every other line to
which it may be applied. It is the
reason why the m6 Sic of the great
masters has survived. Other peo-
pie in the time OF Haydn and Mo-
zart wrote good music, correctly
written music, as simple or as theo-
retiealiy intricate music, as they, but
the good taste OF these masters in
the selection of their melodies. har-
monies, and the development Of
their compositions, marked them as
20 much better than the music OF
the other writers. that their music
has remained. in the repertoires OF
the present day, while the other has
bcea forgotten. Beethoven might
have written otherwise than he did,
If he had not had such good taste.
Schumann, Schubert. Chopin and
many others were famous for the
good taste they displayed in writing
their music. Others have written in
the same style, perhaps, but they
did not have the musical taste which
resulted in masterpieces. Others
had the same tones and chords TO
use, they did not put them together
with such unerring judgment.

The great virtuasi OF today play a
great many of the same numbers
which the lesser virtuosi play. There
are perhaps many who have as much
technical skill as these great ones,
many who can play as loud or as
soft, as fast or with as full sing
ing tone, but if they do not play
with as full a singing tone, but if
with as good, taste, III the use of
their 81 il they are not as great.
There arc singers who have as beau-
tifui- natural voices, and sometimes
as beautiful trained voices as some
of the greatest singers i'll the public
eye, but the reason they are not as
great is because they have not the
same good taste. There are great
many very learned musicians, who
have not good taste. More than
teehnic. more than mental under
standing. the student should strive
to develop his good taste. A fine
teacher is great help, but the STU
dent must do the larger part A
fine teacher can by his careful thor
ough training throw cloak Of good
taste around the work of his pupils.
but unless the pupil himself pre-
pares upon the pattern thus given
him, a cloak Of his own, when the
influence OF the teacher has worn
away. all his skill and accuracy and
learning will avail him little as an
artist.
