GENERAL REMARKS.-In the following studies, all notes or chords marked with an arrow, must be struck from the wrist, otherwise the attack (aUaque French antotz Germau) will be clumsy. stiff and hard, After the notes or chords so marked have been struck. a. strict lef!alo must be preserved throughout as indicated. By legato is meant the keeping down of each key during the full length or time-value of the note, and until the followmg note is struck. It often occurs that the second of two chords which imniediately follow each other should be connected with the first almost legato. To accomplish this all the fingers of the first chord which are not used to strike the notes of the second chord, should bo held down on the notes of the first chord, until the second chord ts' struck. The fingers so held down form a sort of pivot or fulcrum for the other fingers, which can then strike the following chord with freedom and elasticity. In order to assist the student to di~tinguisb th~ notes which are to form the pivot and which must be played absolutely legato, ther. have, in these studies been connected by dotted lines with the following chord. Stnct attention to these 11:eneral remarks, and to the notes accompanying e~J.ch study w1lllay the foundation of correct and elegant piano playing. · ------~~~------~----~------~~----~------· ~ l !> 4 r, 1 ! t 2 :. ~~ rhu:T ~ ..... • Jlll"'..-£11 ...... ,, ;......

'l'HE oldest mnsicfll instrument of the world is, according to the Zeitschr1jt jueT Instmmentwhan. in the Museum at Copen hagen. It is a large bronze war trumpet, which was fonnd in a graveyard in Schleswig. The instrument is a cast of nine tenth!! copper and one-tenth til', is very large, and its tube in the shape of a corkscrew, so that it must have encircled the player. The mouthpiece is comparatively very wide, and the opening is fiat, like a cymbal. The length of the instrument is nearly seven feet; it has a very low, full, and exceedingly far ranging tone. Connoisseurs consider it An object of great antiquity. In the same museum there is also 11 smn,ll most accurately made violin, bearing the date of the fifteenth cen tury.

Considering the fact that Ditson& Co. themsel"es pub lish a musical journal, and that Mr. Johnson is 11 connoisseu·r and familiar with all the musical papers of the world, we con sider his statement very complimentary. "LAST Friday," says the Rochester Denwc1·at and Chronicle, "was a red.letter day in the music trade in Rochester. A novel procession, consisting of the Fifty-fourth Regiment Band and nine wagons, each drawing one ofllallet & Davis' pianos, trav eled the principal streets of the city, and it is needless to say that they attracted general attention. All of the pianos had been sold by George D.
