Owing to the fact that a few of th details de-tails of organisation have not been perfected, per-fected, the official announcement Is de-laved de-laved for a few days. In commenting on the need of and the field of operation of such a school In this city, on of th promoter pro-moter of th enterprise make th following fol-lowing statement: "Tha people of ?tah, much to their credit, are muslo loving, and spend much In tint and money to encourage th divine di-vine art. Tha fame of our vocalists, composers and instrumental performers ha aivn Utah pre-eminence In th muaie circle of our country. Th names of those who hav received recognition abroad are perhaps more numerous than those of any other state In the Union with similar population. In the face of this probability no other state In organised organ-ised effort ha done so little for her own as Utah. Individually our artists are the peer of any; some have been called to the music centers of Europe, others to critical Boston as teachers and performers, perform-ers, while other have received national ' recognition a composers and authors. In the going of so many of our beet trained I artists we hav lost, to the great advantage advan-tage of other. There la another consideration, consid-eration, too much time and money has been wasted and great Inconvenience Buffered Buf-fered by student who ambition to avail themselves of greater facilities than a prlvat studio can afford ar compelled com-pelled to go abroad and perchance study i with a Utah elsewhere. "It is very apparent that the Urn haa developed from chaos Into a complete system.

In English there is little of deep theorising the-orising on these subjects, although American and English writers hav produced pro-duced excellent treatise oo almpl harmony har-mony nd allied subjects. The vocalists hav, however, "How to Hi rig" bv Dili Lehmann, who la a marvel mar-vel in the annals of vocal music. At years of age she is singing regularly such works as "Isolde," "Lenore" and "Nor-m." "Nor-m." From th foregoing It will be seen that foreign study is serious study and for this reason foreign studsnts command more attention than those who hev not had the opportunity of study abroad. When a student Is required to writ hi own cadensae for piano and violin concerto; to write example in every sort of music; to conduct his own works at least before hi teacher, and to aocount for every note h write or plays. It I obvious that these works that hav been mentioned briefly should not only receive attention but that they ahould absolutely compel attention, and It is safe to say that the great majority of the ruly great musician In Europ snd America hav covered all f this ground with exactitude exacti-tude and compute thoroughness. k e . .
