out qualification by the musical gossip
Of The Daily Telegraph" From the
same newspaper We learn that Ernst
Bloch was introduced to London re-
Gently through the medium Of his
String Quartet, which was played by
party including Miss Rebecca Clarke,
viola, and Miss May Mukle, violoncello,
the violinists being men. The "Iele-
rlaph s" critic comments as follows:
at is a work Of considerable length
its performance took whole hour
which exploits more or less effective
Iy all the resources OF the string quar-
tet. Whether this p:ling of point up
on point, OF thrill upon thrill, is CON
ducive to satisfaction for the listener
Is q debatabe question. The COM
noser appears to have a distinct lean
ing for dramatic expression, and there
were moments when the music gave
the impression that the Paths clique
would convey if it were 'retouchcd
and brought up to date by a deter
mined modernist. Very significantly
the slow section, although called Pas
toraie. brings little relief from the
tension Of the other movements. Ma
ture and lis simple charm have little
to say III Mr.. Bloch's art. There is
no suggestion Of q song of thank Civ
ing or Of quiet and profound emotion.
But it is possible that a second hear
ing might modify to some extent these
general Impressions

The Author of 81 listen
TO the Mocking Bird

"Thc story Of Listen to tho MocEinc
Bird is interesting. A little ever fiftv
wears ago there lived in the city Of
Philadelphia Il negro street minstrel.
one George Milbuln, who was an expert
whistler and performer on the guitar
Some Of the airs he whistled had never
been transferred to paper by anv com
poser of music. He made his own
tunes, and his skill as = warbler and
guitarlst commanded the admiration Of
his audiences and compelled liberal
tips Listen to the Mocking Bird vas
one Of these catchy tunes. Soptimus
Winner. the famous song writer, had
heard OF This negro. and one daY he
appeared in the street whore Winner
lived and gave one Of his open air
concerts. Included in ms repertoire
was Listen to the Mockiug Bird
When the concert was over and COL
lection had been taken. Milburn PLAYED
another air as a thank offering and
WAS about 10 90 to another PLAYING
conner But Mr.. Winner, who had been
one Of his audience, approached him
and invited him to his house, where
he comphmented him on his clever
manipulation OF the guitar and as a
whistler. lie asked Milburn to whistle
the 'Mockinr Bird which he did. and
while the negro was whistling Winner
wrote down the notes hastily. Some
time after this incident he wrote the
words Of the song as we know it. This
he sold for 50 to Lee & Walker, Of
Philadelphia. who were then the lead
ing music publishers. The song was
published in ballad form and became
immensely popular 1t was sung all
over the country, whstled on the
streets and played by bands, and it
is just as popular to-day as it was
when first introduced. Lee & Walker
realized over 100000 from its sale.
George Milburn received from Sep
timus Winner twenty copies of the
song as his share of the profits Win
ner never received anything beyond
the original S5 which he got for his
manuscript except the credit OF being
the author of the song which, of
course, was not true. He wrote the
music and the words, bat the melody
was born in the brain of that negro,
George Milburn."
