Pays Fine Tribute to
Fischer "Master Edition"
Portland, Ore., Musician and Teacher Finds
Editing of Well-known Editor Ahead of That
in the Past
A tribute to the "Master Edition" of famous
works, published by Carl Fischer, Inc., was
recently forwarded to that company by Mor-
daunt A. Goodnough, a prominent solo organist
and teacher of Portland, Ore. He takes a most
modern viewpoint in analyzing the compositions
of composers of the past and, whether or not
one thoroughly agrees with him in every phase
of the subject he attempts to treat, his remarks
are certainly worth repetition.
Below is reproduced Mr. Goodnough's letter:

REVIEW
use. The older editors, such as Czerny, and
later, Bulow, Mikuli and others were standards
in their time, although I consider Mikuli was
very greatly over-rated. But piano playing has
made an enormous advance—the art of finger-
ing, pedaling, phrasing, dynamics, interpreta-
tion as a science, all these features are under-
stood as never before.
"I have discarded elegantly bound volumes
of the masters that were edited in a manner
once considered authoritative, but are now
passe. True, I keep a number of the older
editions as works of reference, but for my own
playing and teaching I want an edition that
embodies the results of the latest scholarship.
"From the foregoing you will understand my
enthusiastic endorsement of the 'Master Edi-
tion.' I already own a considerable number
of this edition and have examined the large
stock your agent displayed for me. I am very
happy to be able to obtain now, in Portland,
Chopin, edited by Friedmen, and Beethoven,
edited by Lamond—in your 'Master Edition.'
Truly the world does move."
New Year Starts Off Well
With Triangle Music Go.
Business for First Week of January Exceeds
Total for December—Some Numbers Tha,t
Are Proving Very Popular
Joe Davis,, head of the Triangle Music Pub-
lishing Co., Inc., predicts that 1926 will be his
banner year. He says that his sheet music
sales for the first week of January exceeded his
total sales for the month of December, 1925.
Although "Honeymoon Waltz" and "Hot Cof-
fee" are the two main songs, the Triangle Mu-
sic Publishing Co., Inc., is working on "Go Back
Where You Stayed Last Night," recently re-
leased on Columbia records, sung by Ethel Wa-
ters, is developing into a seller. "Get It Fixed"
is another very big record song; in fact, the
last two mentioned songs are among the big-
gest sellers to-day in "race" songs.
W. A. Quincke & Go. Opens
Campaign on New Numbers
Los Angeles Music Publishers Offering Interest-
ing New Series of Songs Which Will Be Ex-
ploited Strongly
W. A. Quincke & Co., the Los Angeles pub-
lishers, following their success with such popular
songs as "Mexicali Rose," "Some Day I'll Learn
to Forget You" and "Regular Fellows," have
opened a campaign on a series of new offerings.
These include two new waltz ballads, "Wonder-
ful Drea'ms" and "It's Lonesome in Bluebird
Lane." It also has several standard popular
selections which are being heard in concert and
over the radio. The outstanding of these are
"Thine and Mine Alone," "When I Go Home"
and "Night Has Passed."
Recent reports show that Quincke & Co. have
developed a popular catalog which adds to the
importance to the Pacific Coast as a source of
current hits.
