Beethoven in his "Fourth Symph- | ony" concludes with a passage which | suddenly seems to bring the basses | into a sort of nervous convulsion. The | players used to dread this passage, and { Weber in an amusing satire, in which he has the instruments remain after the concerts and tell their troubles, gives the following humorous lament to the big bass viol: "What are your troubles to mine, pray? It is my part to preserve the dignity and sobriety of the orchestra by my staid and respect- able conduct. Instead of this, Beetho- ven, this insufferable youth, forces me to leap and gallop, skip and run, and dance about like a lunatic as though I were a trifling young fiddle. Qutrage- f ous!"

JONES 390 PRINCESS STREET Where Are the Amateurs? There was a time, especially in the eighteenth century, when every gentle- man was able to carry his part in a glee, a madrigal, or a part song. Many of them played some solo instrument well enough to be able to do their parts in a chamber quartette. And what has become of these amateurs? Doubtless not all of these gentlemen played or sang in a manner to satisfy professional criticism. But right there is the rub. We have allowed profes. sionalism so to pervade our thought that we want to measure everything by its standards. We must be profes- | sionals or remain forever mum so far as the musical expression of our souls go, In those olden days the amateur, '| the real lover of music, joined his voice or instrument in. the rend ing of well written compositions, x in so doing imbibed a wonderful amount of soul culture. He possessed an ac- complishment that was a source of real heart development. Where are the amateurs? Shall we remain in a state far surpassed by our great great grandfathers? Be a real amateur. Sing, play, lend your voice or effort to some musical enterprise, if it be but singing in a lo- cal chorus or church choir. Stick at it and grow with practice into larger { things. Do your best in 'a small way { and the larger will develop. If you do | nothing more than develop a love and appreciation for the good and beauti- ful in art, you will have added a large fund of real joy to your life.
