were not foreign to him, but our English
words are foreign to hjs music, and the imposition
of a new language is not excusable, whether i-i
opera or in song, unless it has the direct sanction
of the composer himself, which is very unlikely,
if he meant what he wrote in the first instance."
This writer, moreover, says that songs which havt
been composed for voice and orchestra should not
be sung with a piano in lieu of an orchestra. "The
manner, the tone color, the whole atmosphere is
bound to be wrong." To the first of these proposi-
tions we say a loud "'Amen!" Nor do we applaud
American composers who, without even a fair
knowledge of French and German, set music to
lyrics in those languages. There is room, plenty of
room, and gaping, expectant room, for good songs
in English composed by musicians to whom Eng-
lish is the native language.

It's what is inside of the Sterling that has made its repu-
tation. Every detail of its construction receives thorough
attention from expert workmen—every material used in its
construction is the best—absolutely. That means a piano
of permanent excellence in every particular in which a
piano should excel. The dealer sees the connection between
these facts and the universal popularity of the Sterling.
