Of High Class Concert Songs Is That Put Forth
by M. Witmark & Sons, Under the Title of
"Black and White Series."
SECURE S0LEJ5JLLINQ AGENCY.
So long has the house of M. Witmark & Sons
been associated with the publication of "popular"
music, that it will come
as a surprise even to the
Our
retail trade to receive a
ropy of their "Black and
White" catalog, which has
recently been issued, con-
taining a list of high-class
concert
numbers.
In a
BEAUTIFUL
preface to the bock, which
is attractively got up with
reproductions of a number
of title pages of high-class
successes, the publishers say:
"In presenting the lovers of good music this
list of what we are pleased to term 'Our Black
and White Series,' it is with pardonable pride
that we call attention to the high character and
merit of the compositions contained herein.
"Recognizing the fact that there is a con-
stantly growing demand for ballads of a higher
class than the so-called 'popular song' and pur-
suant with our usual policy of keeping not only
abreast of, but in advance of the demands of the
times, we issued these high grade ballad num-
bers, confident that our music-loving friends
would appreciate our efforts.
"We have been most pleased at their recep-
tion and constantly increasing popularity; some
of the earlier numbers are found in the reper-
toire of all the best concert singers, and have
become standards in the music lover's home
and the concert field. - An examination of the
different numbers herewith cannot but prove a
pleasure, and we feel sure will add you to our
list of pleased patrons, if you are not already so
classed."

T. B. Harms & Co. Secure the Valuable Catalog
of Rose & Snyder Who W i l l in Future De-
vote Their Time to W r i t i n g New Numbers.
Toward the latter part of last week contracts
were signed whereby the T. B. Harms Co. take
over the sole selling agency of the highly suc-
cessful catalog of Rose & Snyder, those energetic
young songsmiths who started up for themselves
some three months ago with a number of good
songs, among which may be cited the popular
"Don't Worry." In an interview with a repre-
sentative of The Review, Mr. Rose gave his rea-
sons for this change in policy.
"As a matter of fact," he observed, "both my
partner and myself have found our time so taken
up looking after the composing end of the game,
together with the interests of our professional
friends, that it became apparent we could not
give sufficient attention to the trade. We have
unlimited confidence in the ability of T. B.
Harms & Co. to look after our business interests,
and in future we will devote our whole time to
writing new numbers and placing them with the
artists to whom, of course, we largely look to for
our future success. Messrs. Rose & Snyder have
just written a new ballad, entitled "If You Cared
for Me as I Care for You," which they are con-
fident is going to join the list of the season's
successes.

Thos. Sigurdson.—We have answered your
query by mail.
A. E. Tway.—You are wrong. The first per-
formance of Wagner's Tannhauser took place in
Dresden, Germany, in 1845. Rienzi was pro-
duced three years earlier in that city.
Wm. Winants.—The music of "The Last Rose
of Summer" is an old Irish melorly, the origin
of which has never been traced. Thos. Moore
wrote the words. "The Bells of Shandon" was
written to the same melody by "Father Prout."
Von Flotow also used it in "Martha," but of
course he had nothir.g to do with its composi-
tion.
E. R. G. (Troy).—Chas. K. Harris, without a
doubt. His compositions have sold more than
any other living "popular" writer. It is very
doubtful if he himself could give even a con-
servative estimate of the total sales.
