Musical enjoyment Is bused upon apprecia
tion. Without some degree ot It music la a
bore. One ot two things must exist before
appreciation Is possible , namely , knowledge
of the art , or a temperament scncttlve to
rythmlc and melodic Influencea. Knowledge
of the art Is acquired by study , by voluntary
effort. A , sensitive temperament U gener
ally a birthright , it may be the result ol
casual development. However , under all
conditions and In alt people , musical appre
ciation Is dependent upon the direct Influ
ence of the art Itself , and as music is Bound
ud can only bo apprehended by the sense ol
hearing , appreciation Is dependent upon that
sense. In n word , In order to npprcelntc
music ono must hear it , and furthermore. In
order to develop one's appreciation ho or she
must be so circumstanced that musical per-
'ormnnces can bo attended and musical Influ
ences felt. To bo musical without hearing
nuslc Is aa Impossible ns to be warm without
heat , wlso without wisdom , rich without
money , or honest without honor.

In the city of Omaha there are perhaps n
thousand or more men nnd women who play
home Instrument or sing n llttlo for thcti
"own amusement. " They know very little
about musical history , nothing of composi
tion. They have a fair knowledge of nM \
of pieces which they have performed or heart :
n number of times , and they are familial
with the names of the great composers nm !
believe that everything which they wrote- 1 ;
fine , even It It doe not sound so. They en
joy a performance of "classical" music
"classical" meaning to them anything writ
ten by any composer with an unpronouncea
ble name , or without a "tune" to it.
In the city ot Omaha there nro , perhaps
200 men and women who can play or s\\\f.
well enough to attempt the performance ol
eomo of these "classical" compositions ant
who have lingered over them until they Imvi
caught a glimpse of their real moaning , nm
their mystic bcuuty. They revere Moznrl
nnd Beethoven , they fear Bach , they have
heard of Paluatrlna. they can whistle Ros
sini , they dote on Wagner , they love Men
delssohn nnd Chopin , and they feel verj
closely related to Do Kovell. They like music
for Its own nako nnd save their dollars thai
they may attend the performances of tin
few great artists who visit their home city
Besides these , there nro in the city ol
Omaha , some twenty-five or thirty profes
sional musicians who deserve to bo In tin
profession , who Know music as an art am
love It ns their soul's natural language
Tlfeso long to see 11 prosper , to see tin
mnsscn of the people able to enjoy Its beau
ties and to bo thrilled with Its divine In
splratlou. They are often prompted to snc
ritleo themselves for their art , and rejolci
when they behold any token of its advance
ment in the little world of which they an
a part. -
Mia. Martin Calm sang recently at a rccita
given In Chicago by William 11. Sherwoo-
and received the following complimcntarj
notice In the Musical Times :
"The program was given additional attract

Of these Is the world constituted , so far i

classes. They may be likened to an arm ;
nnd Its rc-cnilts , It Is readily seen , must con
