7. The Piccaninnies Picnic, Schottische.
Geo. Lowell Tracy.
i. Excepting an introductory that is tiresome
on account of its length, Mr. Knight has given
us a capital set of waltzes. The melody is pleas-
ing and the arrangement brings it within the
scope of the home player.
2,3. Two excellent numbers from the prolific
pen of Mr. Gilder. The first is rather too dreamy
and sentimental to be symbolic of life in the
metropolis as we know it. Yet they are an im-
mensely pleasing set of waltzes and bound to be
popular. No. 3 is a good vigorous march. Not
difficult.
4. Mr. Maylath is at his element in pieces of
this character. This morceau is above the aver-
age. The melody is excellent and the arrange-
ment is effective. Would be a good study for
pupils.
5. A dainty and finished mazurka caprice.
6. A pleasing trifle which displays elements
of originality.
7. Of the popular order. Cannot fail to
please lovers of this class of music.

1. An ambitious and expressive ballad wedded
to appropriate words by Mr. Houseley.
2. A sacred song for baritone in D flat. It is
adapted from Van Koss and is a dignified and
serious work.
3. 4. Two more religious compositions which
are full of spontaneity and beautiful melody.
No. 4 is especially commendable.
5. A simple ballad ingeniously arranged.
Words by Clarence Arnold.
6. The words of this excellent ballad are by
Mrs. Ward. The music is unusually pleasing.
7. A poetic and expressive ballad of more than
ordinary merit. Mr. Hammond displays his

this charming composition. It should prove a
favorite.
8. A tenor romanza that is full of opportunities
for an intelligent singer. The words are by the
composer.
9. A home song of the popular order, written
with taste and expression.
WM. ROHLFING & SONS, MILWAUKEE:.
Love Songs.
Yictor Hollender.
These are a series of nine love songs in the
character of different nations. Poland, Russia,
Lapland, France, Spain, Italy, England, Turkey
and Germany. The English words are by
Auber Forestier. The book is a chef' d'oeuvre
typographically ; and musically, each number is
invested with a tone color that gives it a dis-
tinct national characteristic. Each song has a
splendid engraving in colors, and the entire
collection is one of the most attractive books
that has come to the reviewer in some time. It
would prove a desirable holiday gift, and cannot
fail to be a favorite with the dealer. Messrs.
Rohlfing & Sons are to be congratulated on their
enterprise.
We have also on our desk several productions
from the Coupon Music Publishing Co., Cam-
bridge, Mass., which will receive attention later.

It is admitted by all that no piano ever put upon the
market has met with such success as THE STEKLING

manship and durability. Why ? Because they are made
just as perfect as a piano can be made.

PIANO ACTION.—James F. Conover, New
York city. In this action a rocker is adapted
to be pivoted to the key, and a spring-pressed
arm pivoted on the rocker is designed to engage
the pivot end of the hammer, a fixed rod held on
the key engaging the arm. With this improve-
ment the hammer can be forcibly propelled to
the string from intermediate points of its travel
for readily executing reiterating tone passages
without the action resuming its normal position
after each percussion, thus forming a double
repeating or grand action and insuring greater
speed and force of the hammer. An instantane-
ous automatic adjustment is effected by repeated
strokes of the key.—Scientific American.
