THE
INSPIRATION FOR COMPOSERS.
A CHARMING COMPOSITION.
Conditions Under Which Famous Composers
Are Claimed to Have Done Their Best
Work.
Mrs. Luella Lockwood Moore, whose very de-
lightful compositions, both instrumental and vocal,
have come in for frequent words of commenda-
tion in these columns, has just issued a delightful
cradle song through the house of M. Witmark &
Sons, entitled "AH the World Has Gone to Sleep."
It is a very pleasing number with a charming
melody which is effectively scored. The lyric as
well as the music is written by Mrs. Moore, and in
this field shows the same skill as in arranging her
music.
All manner of sources of inspiration have been
recounted by different composers in telling how
they have composed. Some are very amusing. Mr.
Elson continues: "Scarlatti used to compose easily
when his pet cat remained with him; and perhaps
this was the animal that walked along the key-
board and gave him the theme for the cat-fugue.
Haydn used to sit at the piano until themes
shaped themselves to his satisfaction. Mozart's
musical ideas came copiously while he played
billiards. Beethoven used to compose in a natural
seat in a tree at Schonbrunn, just outside Vienna.
Schubert could compose anywhere, even writing
'Hark, Hark, the Lark' on the back of a bill of
fare in a restaurant. Wagner was more particular,
and used to decorate his study with different colors,
in accordance with the mood of his proposed com-
position. Information concerning Strauss is not
at hand, but no doubt he seeks inspiration in the
liquid product of his relative, Pschorr; at any
rate, some of his works sound as if he did."
A recent English novel refers to "the tumult
and insatiable outcry" of the "Appassionata"
sonata, which, at a concert, "spread like a river
over the listeners."

REVIEW
MUSIC
In these days when ragtime overshadows mer-
itorious compositions it is pleasing to find com-
posers of good cheer who are alert to the require-
ments of a great majority of people who desire
clean, simple, healthy songs that inspire.
AN OFFER WORTH CONSIDERING.
If you are a salesman, tuner or traveler, and
desire a position, forward your wants in an ad-
vertisement to The Review in space not to ex-
ceed four lines and it will be inserted free of
charge and replies sent to you.
