Show Mustache Versus Music. Anton Rubinstein is quoted thus in reference to women, artists: "I think ladies ought never to study music as an art At least, they ought not to take up the time of teachers who are able to teach and make true artists. And I will tell you why. There is no question but there are 20 musical ladies to one musical man, and my own experience expe-rience is that they learn more quickly, have more poetry, and, in fact, are more diligent pupils than men. But what is the invariable result? When a young lady has become a perfoct artist, some handsome mustache comes along, and she chooses the handsome mustache in preference to art. " |
