There Is perhaps no more singular antinomy In the. history ot music (unless It Is implied In the baffling rase of Wagner and his work) than that which is presented by Brahms the artist and Brahms the man. Listening to the Brahms of the "Deutsche Requiem," of th Symphonies, of the greater chamber works, for example, you can arrive at no other conclusion than that the Issued spirit from which this music was one of the noblest, one of the commost profoundly tender-an- d inpassionate, which has ever yielded spiration to the arts. Studying the records left by Brahms the man, von can arrive at no conclusion than that the spirit therein personified was, m many of Its expressions, cruel, wilfully wounding and venom- - harsh, ' OUS. ; - " Acknowledged as Most Colorful and Artistic of " - Tonal Utterances lr 4 X if'' if nJ ? 1 z - ; ;'A I I r ' Lf - 'i fi; S.. , 7 ! a i f ' How often we read of his ungenerous attitude toward his fellow artistsof the spiteful cutting, contemptuous words that they requited. not unnauraiiy, wim iiieiorin imu-eu- i "When the devil was in him." says Sir Felix Sembn (who knew him in the years when the wonderful.

Instrumental music, says Joseph E. Maddy, writinc in the Musical Courier, has assumed so prominent place in the modern school curriculum that gra.ve fears are expressed in some localities that instrumental music may eventually supplant vocal music in the schools of the country. These fears are gen erated by unthoughtful instrumental supervisors, band or orchestra lead ers, whose musical and educational understanding is limited to the field of Instrumental music. Such teach er are often a menace to the cause of music education. If music education were limited to Instrumental music such instruction would necessarily have to begin at a comparatively late period in the child's life when other interests would have taken the place logically belonging to musc Only a few would be sufficiently interested to master tne fundamentals of music while wrestling with the technical perplexities of a musical instrument. The time to Interest children in music is In the kindergarten, where the study of instrumental music would be absurd. The logical time to begin instrumental music is when the child has acquired a love for beautiful music and a knowledge of the fundamentals of music. These can be acquired only through vocal music, for physical reasons. Instrumental Teacher Often Falls To Understand These Fundamentals. The instrumental teacher very often falls to realize what are the fundamentals of music. To him th.v usually mean a knowledge of staff notation, letter names of notes, symbols, scales, etc. The educator knows that the fundamentals are measurable in emotional response, sensa tions of beauty, skill in reading mu sic and appreciating the rhythm melody and harmony therein.
