The Joy of Expression
Are you in martial mood? You can march

Are you disturbed, depressed, in sorrow?
Music stands next to religion and love as a

Are you angry, mutinous, discontented?
Great geniuses have felt the same way and
expressed Ihemselves in music which it will
do you good to play. (Try the Chopin Revo-
