UUIpS
there can be traced none Of
the several editions Of the
Beethoven flute variations. ex-
cept a rare fragment of the
first edition. and Of course the
Complete Edition Of all
Beethoven's music.
Are these two late works
Of Beethoven. then, so in
significant. so banal. so great
a discredit to the master, that
ethe world has by common
consent turned away in en-
barrassment for 130 years? #
not. is there an explanation Of
such oblivion?
Popular Tunes
Perhaps a description will
suggest an answer. The tunes
from which Beethoven picked
his themes to vary are Of the
most popular kind. Those we
now know as "The Last Rose
Of Summer" 1.-THE Minstrel
Boy" God Save the King"
and "Rule Britannia" are
among them. and are typical
of them all.
Each of the sets Of varia-
tions is short. from three to
eleven minutes. although Opus
los taken as q whole is Is min
utes long and Opus lot just
less than an hour. Finally.
the music was published as
'for piano alone. or with flute
or VIOLIN" an inscription that
fosters an uneasy premonition
of a curious hodge-podge. but
one which it is ridiculous to
think was more than tolerated
by Beethoven, as performance
by piano solo would be no
more possible than to play the
violin or cello Sonatas as piano
solos. The reason for the title
is undoubtedly that for which
it is said Belloc's publishers
changed the alliterative bad
Boys Book of Beasts" to the
present title which includes
all wicked children. Beetho-
ven's publishers were looking
for a larger market.
Now Beethoven is not ex-
pected to write great works on
popular themes; he is not gen.
orally expected to write minia-
lures; he is not expected to
write flute solos. To the odd
mentality of the music lover.
Beethoven is strangely suspect
when he writes for money. So
when he writes two big works
combining all these four fea-
lures, no one can take him
seriously.
Some Are Simple
1t is possibly an erroneous
explanation. but it is the only
one I can devise, for can see
no "alms for oblivion" in the
music itself. Some of the
pieces are simple. some very
elaborate, but all are instinct
with the style and feeling Of
the late sonatas and the Dia-
belli Variations. None has the
great stature of the Diabelli
Variations, or the sonataS.
Opus 109 and Ill. but all show
the peculiarities of piano
sound. of harmony and voice.
leading, that are the mark Of
third-period Beethoven. They
stand in the same relation to
the other late piano works as
do the Bagatelles. Opus 1875:
Beethoven himself took great
interest in his unusual COM
mission, as at least one letter
shows, and he was happy with
the result.
1t is perhaps preposterous
to consider the forthcoming
recording Of Mr.. Dirksen and
Mr.. Mann as the first per-
formance of these two major
works of Beethoven. Still, 1t
is the first. complete perform
ance of which record can be
found.
It is interesting to note that
while George Thomson may
have achieved less than i'm
mortality for the national airs
he sent to the great Conti-
mental musicians, his activity
did result in a curious piece of
nomenclature. All such tunes
whether Scots, English. Welsh.
or Irish, have ever since been
known as "Scots Songs"

This is all that we knew about
the case at the time, and since we
had no wish to capitalize upon
what most people would regard as
"A misfortune, we let it go at that.
But it does raise, quite apart from
the question Of personal morality
and responsibility, some interesting
problems.
zone illegitimacy we can under-
stand. Two in one family is not un-
common, and occasions no comment
beyond the observation that such
things do happen and society must,
in fairness to the children, shoulder
the burden. 1t is too late to do
much about their parents, but the
children themselves make special
case for sympathetic care and pro-
lection.
But eight in one family is quite
another matter. This is plainly not
case of isolated waywardness,
enlightened by a sense Of repent
ance and firm resolve to go and
sin no more. In this instance there
seems to be an addiction to a way
of life which raises, among other
things, a disturbing question as to
who is paying for this delinquency.
an this instance, we are in
formed, the Department of Public
Assistance, which is to say the
people of West Virginia, pays the
bill, meeting the cost of the hos
pitalization and contributing to the
support of the children through the
program for aid to dependent chill
drcn.
"The humanity of this we sup
pose, cannot be questioned. The
legality, we are assured, is quite
clear. In the absence of the father
or proof Of his inability to support
his offspring, the responsibility for
the care of children falls upon the
state
But all the assurances on this |
score do not answer what is GER
tainly the fundamental question !
What is the state set up to do in
these cases-care for dependent !
children or subsidize their illcgiti-
macy?
ION the eighth arrival, we would |
think some searching questions are
in order"
This case in West Virginia is
not so unusual as it might seem.
We hear of similar cases in this
state and perhaps in our own coun-
~ whore the department of public
Welfare provides payments to I'M
yed mothers for bearing children

Most persons would agree with
The Daily Mail that some search
ng questions are in order con
erning the matter.

Only Twenty Days Left Till Pioneer Roof Garden The Night of December II

Yesterday, President Bob Scott called a meeting of all committees of the Pioneer Roof Garden to ascertain what progress was being made in preparation for the big event. The response was most en- couraging. It was evident that the Ladies Auxiliary is participating very actively, which will natural ly enhance the celebration.
 The entire program was dis cussed at length and the chairman of each committee reported splen- did cooperation, not alone from members of the Pioneer organiza- ton, but from the toWnspeople in general.
 The Annual Booklet is being prepared as usual and business men are already reserving space for their advertisements. This booklet reaches all over Alaska and throughout many of the states as evidenced by reports brought to Nome by tourists last season.
 And speaking of tourists-Mr. A. Polet advises that the Alaska Visitors Association is considering the ROOF GARDEN top priority for a winter excursion. Wien Air lines will probably put on an ex- tra section or two for the occasion.
 The date is December II, 1854, School Auditorium. Doors will open at FOO PM. and the curtain will rise on the big show prompt ly at o'clock.
