THE MUSICAL TIMES.-September 1, 1898.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. The teaching of PERPLEXED.-It is the old, old story. time in music is not a matter of saying 1, 2, 3, 4; or, I and, 2 and, 3 and. Rhythm, rhythm, rhythm, well rubbed in, is the only cure for the defect to which you refer. Unfortunately this is often lamentably neglected in the early teaching of young children, who are instructed in time as if it were a branch of arithmetic. Try and get your pupil to feel the pulsation of the beats-their regularly recurring throb, and then explain their various sub-divisions; or, rather, get her to cut up the beats, so to speak, herself, into halves, quarters, &c. Never allow her to stop counting at the end of a bar, but always to go on to the rhythmic point-the first The matter of notation should be beat of the bar. applied after the rhythmic sub-divisions have been acquired. HARDWING. We fear that there are not any more comprehensive editions of Schubert's songs with English In Schubert's songs words other than those you name. words and music are so inseperable that a translation, however well done, is a poor substitute for the original German text. But there is no reason why you should not get an English translation made of any particular song or songs, if the German pronunciation is an obstacle. The best German edition is that of Dr. Max Friedländer, published by Peters, in seven volumes and a supplementary volume. how many choristers you CHORISTER.

worthy ambition.

LIGHT (Copenhagen).—Both the passages you quote are
examples of auxiliary notes. In the Brahms extract
the main harmony is the common chord of G, followed
by that of C, and the F sharp is, therefore, an auxiliary
note. In that by Stanford the context is a six-four

chord on C, the E in this case being the auxiliary, or,
what is perhaps a better term, the ornamental note of
the chord.

CHOIRMASTER.-Try the tune in unison when sung to a
children's hymn. You will find that it will go much
brighter and more easily, especially as the harmonies
are not very vocal and decidedly awkward to a volun-
tary choir. Many children's hymns can be much more
effectively sung by being treated in this way.

J. B.-It is quite possible that you might get a short lyric
set by "a good man"; but we are unable to tell you
the probable fee that he would require, or even "a rough
approximation."
ENQUIRER. — Sterndale Bennett's Toccata in C minor
(Op. 38) is in sonata form. The second subject in E flat
(bar 11) returns in due course at bar 51, but in A flat,
and not in the key of the tonic.

G. W. H.-We do not know of a book on the subject of the
training of the male alto voice. The best plan would

be to take some personal lessons from an expert teacher.
PIANIST.-You will find information in regard to the cost
of a harp in our issue of June, p. 414. If we can
further help you, please let us know.
