Beethoven. the Writer
of Popular Songs

NEW YORK.-Revival of the Bee
thoven songs, which have lain for
gotten and unsung for the past so
years, will be one of the features of
the musical worlds Observance of the
one hundredth anniver&ary of the
great composers death.
Beethoven was the popular song
writer of the early nineteenth century.
His songs were popular in every cor
| ner of Europe, and his reputation as a
song writer was so high among his
cotemporaries that he was chosen
chief editor of the most monumental
collection of ballads ever published In
Europe.
Today ninety-nine people out of a
hundred remember Beethoven for his
majestic symphonies and magnificent
sonatas. The one hundredth person
| recalls five or six vocal pieces that he
wrote, notably Adelaide" and ITO the
Distant Beloved" The Beethoven
Centennial Memorial COMMITTEES. un.
der the leadership of DIR. Albert Shaw,
Mrs. Andrew Carnegie and Mrs.
Thomas A. Edison, hopes to make him
known as the composer of 80 songs
as tender and light as his symphonies
are heavy and profound.
New light on the songs of Bee
thoven comes from the secretary of
the Memorial Committee, Frederick
F'reemantle, a concert tenor.
These little songs" Mr.. Free
mantle comments, 'are like honey
bungalows that have been forgotten
because Beethoven also built musical
skyscraperS. They are overlooked be-
cause musical eXcursionists have al
ways pointed to his monumental
works and have been too awed by
their towering majesty to see the
same genius in his songs, which have
delicacy and a joyoasness that re-
veal sensitive and even a romantic
SOUL
The last song that Beethoven wrote
was setting of a poem called THE
Kiss" 1t was written by the great
composer Immediately after an en-
barrassing moment at q reception. A
charming young woman, instead OF
listening to the music, sat admiring
Beethoven's massive forehead. When
she complimented him. not on his
playing, but on his high brow, he
snarled at her, well, kiss it if you
want to-" The challenge was ac-
cepted to his great discontinue.
Youthful pianists and even sea-
soned musicians have but one con-
cept of Beethoven-that of a difficult
composer, profound and full of aw-
full beauty says Mr.. Freemantle
During this centenary year, the Me-
mortal Committee hopes that many
students and music folk will learn to
think of him, not as a man of thun-
derous brow, but as the tender ballad
writer of his day, who played on the
heart strings of humanity softly and
with matchleSS charm"

BY HELEN FETTER.

! majoring in music have good or ex-
cellent grades in their other studies.
Only students may apply for malo
music credits who are recommended
| by private teachers and parents.
They must spend one hour each day
in practice and one hour each week
with the teacher, who gives quarter
| ly reports as to progress. A failure
ut first examination by the board
| IS conditional; a second failure at
the next biennial examination dis
qualities the pupil for future credits
in music as a major subject. .
This seasons report as furnished
seems highly gratifying. In the three
high schools mentioned as giving
music as a major subject 81 pupils
were examined.
At Eastern there were 10 i'll piano,
6 in voice, II in violin, in brass in
struments. At Western there were
80 in ciano, in violin, voice. At
Columbia Junior High School, of the
81 pupils asking for music credits
only 3 substituted such credits tor a
necessary major subject: In nearly
every instance the major music
pupils receive good or excellent in
other subjects and many are on the
honor roll.
At Western 20 major music pupils
do not fall below good in any sub
ject. At Eastern II do not fall below
excellent and 20 not below good. In
piano q pupils receive excellent
above 93). p received good (above
aS) and 10 receive fair (above 75).
The standard of musical literature
brought to the examinations during
the II years has shown marked inn
provement. At the January exami-
nation IS Bach numbers were played
with works by Scarlatti, Rameau,
Handel as other classic compositions
offered. There were 80 sonatas of
Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn, Clement.
ETC., offered. Compositions played
also included works by Mendelssohn
Schubert, Chopin, Schumann, List,
Heller, Mcdowell, Grieg, Brahms,
Schutt, ETC., all from memory. All
of which offers much material for
thought.
