O'BanyOun's
Observations

Modern chirography has de-
veloped to the extent which per-
mitts the average, literate person
to express his thoughts almost
perfectly by writing. There is
still a small percentage of i'm
perfection in the transmission of
thought by the printed, or written
word, due to the inability of the
reader to comprehend, or to the
inability OF the writer to express
clearly.
Musical notation is something
else again. While vast strides
have been made in committing
the composers inspiration to
paper, there is still so much left
to the understanding and inter-
probation of the performer, that
it is obvious that the ability to
write ones exact inspiration has
not yet been achieved. True, one
can sing or play all the written
notes, give them the duration re-
quired by the rhythm, and fellow
all other directions indicated.
This, however, seldom conveys
the message intended by the com
poser, One has to absorb all the
aforementioned directions, prac-
tise them until he can perform
them mechanically, and then add
his own personality to his per-
Torrance in order to make an
impression on his audience.
