Just s likely as not the player is
not thinking of the samO thing as the
composer drd. He Is weaving his own
story. Music does not tell a certain
set story following a certain rigid out
line. Certain notes are played to mak.
a certain combination of sounds but
that combination may mean whatevor
you cnoose to make It mean.
An interesting Instance Is given by
Mare Blumenberg, the clever mualclan
ly writer of the Musical Courier. He
attended a concert where "A Faust
Symphony", by Llast waa played. The
program presented a careful explana
tion or tne inree movements, ine ru,

Run for Faust, and It fitted admirably,
pldity of recovery, cheerfulness, con
scious self-reliance, rehabilitation of
credit, and a decision that victory roust
come through the cause alone, and the
final chorus brought out the apotheo
sis, which was Lincoln alnglng the
Emancipation Proclamation and .with
his name liberating 4,T&0,000 living
human beings and many unborn mil
lions, and to my surprise there sounded
the triad figure with the octave above
of "The Star Spangled Banner.', as it
Is written toward the close of the third
movement.'" . M
He proceeds to remark upon the fu
tility of elucidating and explanatory
program notes because tha essence of
muslo rejects a literary analyala. Ho
aays the explanation rests solely with
tha- listener and with hi capacity to
evolve bis own program and if he can
not do this how is the analysis going
to mean anything to him. He admits
that Ms program may seem absurd to
some and rational to others which !

"The white Caps" were an organised
