It is said much further remains to be done in
the collection of medieval codices, early im-
prints and holograph scores of the old masters.
For most of these things reliance mu.-t be had

One of the most remarkable publications and
one which has from season to season shown
continued popularity is Bartlett's "A Dream."
Here is a song that has probably won as wide
a popularity as it is possible for an individual
composition to attain. The fact that the Oliver
Ditson Co. has found it necessary to add the
duet arrangements for soprano and tenor and
alto and baritone indicates the position which it
holds. Besides the above "A Dream" is avail-
able in all other keys, in piano solo form, as a
Writ* for Dealer*' I r c«
piano waltz, for violin and piano and easy violin
and piano, the organ, cornet and piano, cello
and piano, trio for violin, cello and piano, and
alto and tenor saxophone and piano. Thus the
number is made available for practically all
musical tastes. "A Dream" is establishing a
record as an ever fruitful profit maker as well teachers and scholars. Among the works listed
is the famous "Gordon's Graded I'iano Course."
as a consistent and persistent winning song.
These are issued in separate folios covering
nine grades, compiled and edited by Hamilton
S. Gordon, with fingering and annotations by
I. Frank heve.
