MUSIC IN NATURE
f "And dear, because the garden is so lovely today,
I have moved the Brunswick close to the window
where we can look out as we play for I want you
always to associate the Beauties of Music and the
Beauties of Nature. The flowers, the birds, the
wind, all you see and hear, you will find in music,
too, and if you seek Nature in Music and Music in
Nature your life will be happier for the search.
"There is nothing artificial or crude in Nature, and I think
that is why I chose the Brunswick from among all the other
phonographs; because of its simple refinement and because it
voices the Real in Music with nothing artificial added.
"When the Brunswick tells you of the wind, it speaks in
the real and pure tones of violins and 'cellos. When bird-notes
are sung by flutes the Brunswick tones are as clear and as
vibrant as they."
EXPRESSING OUR MUSICAL THOUGHTS
Would you not like to sit down by your window or
by your fire, and as your mind frames the unutter
able thoughts that music inspires, express yourself
in the music, any music that the spirit of twilight's
witching hour may conjure? To listen for awhile,
mayhap, and then as your dreams take shape, to mould
the music to your mood.
Most important of all phonograph improvements,
the Brunswick enables you to play all makes of rec
ords. This privilege is the crowning touch that makes
.the Brunswick a genuine musical instrument instead
of simply a phonograph.
