a short illness. He was a Hungarian, having been
born thirty-seven years ago in Budapest, where

NEW SCHIRMER ISSUES
Two
Sonatas of Much Value Just Released
G. Schirmer
by
Among recent important publications by G.
Schirmer are the sonata for piano in D minor
by Charles T. Griffes, completed apparently
about two years before his death, and the sonata
by Alexander Macfadyen, Op. 21, in C sharp
minor, the one played by Josef Hofmann in his
concert of compositions by Americans given in
New York a few years ago. It is no inconsider-
able honor that the piece thereby gained. It
shows talent, a command of the idiom of the
keyboard, and, as Mr. Huneker remarked after
the performance, a well-developed admiration
for MacDowell.
Mr. Griffes' sonata is a considerably more
original work, more austere, more difficult in its
substance, if not in its technical demands; full
of modern dissonances, more than some other
of his compositions that have been heard here.
It is a composition not lightly to be approached
by pianists of lesser accomplishments.
SECURES NEW HEADOUARTERS
Syracuse Publishing Firm Now in Enlarged
Offices in That City
The Phoenix-Kline Music Co., the well-known
Syracuse music firm, has taken over new quar-
ters at 415 South Salina street, that city. Ben
Kline, one of the executives of the firm, who is
well known in sheet music and orchestra circles,
in speaking of the progress made by his com-
pany, recently said: "After four years of steady
growth we have found our present facilities and
space inadequate to properly care for our con-
tinual increase in trade. We are now located in
a new home where we can better serve the musi-
cal trade and profession."
