Beethoven 1177s-1s27)
German Composer

Ludwig Van Beethoven, when four
years of age, began to pick out little
tunes upon the Clavier, an instru-
ment which in olden days took the
place Of the modern piano. His
childhood was not happy one, for
his father was often very severe and
cruel. He was the child's first teach
er.
Because the child was so promising,
the father was determined to reap the
earliest possible advantages from his
talent. He would often drag him
from bed late at night and make him
practice until morning. Before the
child was nine years Of age, he made
such progress that his father placed
him with more competent teacher.
Later his friends sent him to other
masters with whom he studied COM
position, the Clavier and the Violin.
At the age of thirteen Beethoven had
done some composing and was

Dear Folks:-
Permit me to correct Mr.. Web
ster's definition of homesickness
which is inadequate to say the least.
1t is plain to see that Noah never left
the glorious shores of the land of the
free and the home Of the brave. He
didn't understand the first principles
of the disease.
Rather: Homesickness is that de-
plorable state wherein the patient
wants to do something but does not
know what she wants to do and does
not want to do as soon as she thinks
what it was she wanted to do. Attacks
are apt to occur at any time but are
more acute when boats arrive from
America with no personal mail and
when they arrive with personal mail.
The disease becomes malignant when
the patient begins to recite steamship
sailing dates to the United States.
How one can have such good time
as we are having and still feel the
pangs of homesickness is more I'M
accountable to us than it is to you.
| There is tremendous excitement
here both among the French and the
Americans concerning the rapid de-
cadence of the franc. There are many
theories French are sure with
each astounding drop that "tomor-
row" their money will return to its
former status. The Americans are
Just as sure that the franc is to go
lower and lower until one can get at
least 80 for the dollar instead of the
original five, while some Of radical
temperament predict just such a crash
as Germany has experienced. Still
others declare that this sharp decline
is usual at this time of the year, en-
HANGED by the existing conditions
caused by Germany, England and the
United States, but that conditions will
improve within a month or so. Wheth-
err anyone knows a thing about ii
lis a matter for speculation only,
venture to say.
The fact remains that living con-
ditions are exceedingly advantageous
to the American or Englishman here
at present. That they are very try.
ing to the Frenchman of the middle
class, especially, goes without saying
Just as in America it is not the
laboring class that suffers but those
of the so-termed intellectual class
so it is here. In fact the laboring
mans family is better off in spite OF
increased costs. For instance, be-
fore the war a street cleaner was paid
about three francs a day-about 60
cents then. When he went to war
his wife took his job. Now that he
is back his salary has been increased
until he receives 20 francs daily
now virtually equivalent to our dol
lar. Not that that is so much but his
wife still retains her position as street
sweeper and probably another mem
Der of the family is working at a
similar job making a total of 60
francs day coming into one exche-
quer. A Frenchman with his frugal
ways can make this amount go far.
On the other hand those who can
not command stated salary are exc
ing out slender existence with the
same amount of money that they had
before 1914. I refer now to people
with their own businesses and those
who are private teachers, artists,
musicians, etc. Even the former
wealthy class is suffering noticeably,

Scarf Dance

The "Scarf Dance" is a gay rhy-
thmic ballet. 1t is one of a group of
salon pieces for the piano. The mu-
sic is often played as a piano solo
but sometimes it accompanies dance.
1t has taken over 500 years to
produce the piano as it is today. The
clavichoid was the first stringed in
strument played by striking on keys.
It covered only three octaves. 1t re-
sembled small square piano but had
no legs. 1t was placed upon a table
and was often carried from room to
room.

conducting an orchestra in theatre.
When Beethoven was twenty-eight
he partially lost his hearing. His
increasing deafness as he grew older
altered his character considerably, he
gradually grew morose and suspicious.
The last chapter in this great mans
life were terribly saddened by this
affliction.
Beethoven wrote nine of the
worlds greatest symphonies. He was
so painstalxing that he worked for
over five years on one symphony. The
symphonies are filled with beautiful
and original ideas that have not since
been surpassed. Beethoven is ranked
as the greatest symphanist of. all
countries and all times.
Beethoven was not pleasing in ap-
pearance or in manner, but his friends
recognized his high ideals of life. He
loved the truth and had warm gen.
erous heart, so much did the public
admire him, both as man and
genius, that at his death his funeral
services, were conducted like those
of a ruler.
D.
Minuet in G (Beethoven)
Probably no other composition is
better known or better loved than is
Beethoven's ,"Minuet in G." 1t is one
of a set of six minuets published by
the composer of 1895, but while it
has the name it is an idealized min
uet rather than a true dance form.
1t has the characteristic meter, &C
cent and form of the dance, but its
movement is slow and it's rhythm not
marked enough for the actual dance.
1t is a delightful light classic whose
greatest charm comes through the
simplicity of its melody.
There are really two minuets in
this composition, the first, then a
contrasting minuet (the trio) and a
return to the first again. The trio,
SO called because it was originally
played by three instruments and in
three part harmony-now appears
slightly faster and with the instru-
ments seemingly chasing one another
through weaving scale passages. The
first minuet returns as at the begin
ming and the composition ends.
