FROM OUR QUESTION BOX.
In this column all queries relating to music and the
music trade will be gladly answered. Address Editor,
Music Publishing Department, Music Trade Review, 1
Madison Avenue, New York.
R. G. Watt, Springfield, Mass.—The notes which
you enclose are utterly unintelligible. It may be
"Cresta," however (Leo Edwards), published by
F. A. Mills & Co.
M. Weinstein.—Obviously the printer's care-
lessness. It should have read "no amount of
'pushing' will sell a song that the public does
not want."
Ernest Redding.—The Chappell edition is the
only one sanctioned and revised by Herr Lehar.
Others may or may not be correct. They probably
are not, so why bother with them.
E. W. S., Binghamton.—The matter is referred
to in this issue by "The Man on the Street."
Please send any further data.
Coriway Furst.—There is no set rule. Three
cents per copy on all copies sold to the trade for
ten cents or over; two cents for copies sold under
this price.
Alfred Solman.—Again we must blame the
printer. Thank you for your interest.
F. R. E., Southampton, L. I.—"In the Twi Twi
Light" is being sung in "The Dairymaids," by
Huntley Wright. Published by Francis, Day &
Hunter, 15 West Thirtieth street, New York.
Price 25 cents.
Franklin Smith.—The firm of P. J. Howley, 41
West Twenty-eighth street, publish the entire
catalog of Howley, Haviland and Dresser.
R. Forsyth, Harrisburg.—We earnestly hope
that something will be done shortly, and are
working to that end.
"The Lancers," a new version of "The Passing
Regiment," with Cecelia Loftus, is due at Daly's
Theatre shortly. There are some excellent musi-
cal numbers in the production.

REVIEW
AN IMPORTANT PUBLICATION
THE REVIEW HEARS
Has Just Been Issued by Messrs. Boosey & Co.,
Entitled "School of Scales and Double Notes
for Pianoforte," by Maurice Moszkowski.
Messrs. Boosey & Co., of 9 East 17th street,
New York, have just published a new edition of
Maurice Moszkowski's "School of Scales and
Double Notes for Pianoforte," in four volumes
divided as follows: Book .1, Scales in Single
Notes; Book II, Scales in Double Notes; Book III,
Exercises in Double Notes; Book IV, Advanced
Studies in Double Notes. The fact is of especial
interest to the trade inasmuch as the value of
these volumes to conservatories and schools of
music cannot be too highly estimated. In an
author's note, Moszkowski says:
"Considering the important place occupied by
double notes in piano playing, it seems strange
that hitherto no complete treatise on this branch
of mechanism has been published, although there
exist a considerable number of special lessons
and exercises devoted to the study of octaves,
trills, scales, the practice of the left hand,
rhythm, and even the art of using the pedals.
"Yet the thorough study of double notes is
equally indispensable to those who wish to at-
tain a certain perfection of execution, for this
feature of mechanism may be found in composi-
tions of all styles and of all epochs. That this
is the case is amply proved by the fact that all
the great masters since Bach and Handel have
composed passages in double notes. But if these
examples are rare in the works of the earliest
musical epoch, they are frequently to be found
in modern compositions. The works of Hum-
mel, Chopin, Liszt, Brahms, Saint-Saens and
many others are teeming with the most compli-
cated combinations of double notes.
"Their extreme difficulty of execution must
oblige pianists, even the most skilful, to make
them an object of assiduous study. Those whom
insufficient preparatory study has left without
either the necessary aptitude of the hand or ex-
perience in fingering, find themselves at a loss
in the matter and quickly become discouraged.
For this reason it has seemed a useful undertak-
ing to unite in one collection of exercises and
studies all the difficulties contained in this sub-
ject—to create, in fact, a supplement to all other
piano methods. As regards fingering, only one
has been used whenever that one has seemed
preferable to all others. Exception, however, is
made to this wherever the strain upon small
hands has had to be taken into account."
This common sense handling of a subject
that has too often been inadequately dealt with
in other pianoforte tutors must appeal strongly
to all teachers of music. The four volumes are
published at 60 cents net, each.
Gustav Luders has just completed a new musi-
cal comedy which is named "Marcel." Frank
Pixley, the author, fails to say whether or not his
plot centered on the 'fashionable coiffure of
that name. We await further details.
THAT Alfred Solman is very busy these days.
THAT his new song, "All She Gets from the
Iceman Is Ice," introduced by charming Connie
Ediss into "The Girl Behind the Counter" (Stern
& Co.), is a comedy gem.
THAT "Loving Eyes," H. J. Wood & Co.'s new
song, is attracting a more than usual amount of
attention.
THAT Leo Feist is progressing very favorably,
we are glad to say.
THAT Gene Schwartz is developing a Scotch
accent under the untiring tutelage of Harry
Lauder.
THAT Arthur L. Brown's captivating waltz,
"Celeste," published by the B. F. Wood Co., 6
East 17th street, has a delightfully effective
theme in C major.
THAT the music trade in general have decided
to accept all the new ten-dollar gold pieces that
are thrust upon them, regardless of their inar-
tistic quality.
THAT 31,401 new musical copyrights were
granted at Washington during the fiscal year
which ended on June 30, last.
THAT the authorities at Washington showed
considerable courtesy in describing all these of-
ferings as "musical."
THAT Fred E. Belcher, when asked by admir-
ing friends to give some idea of the size of the
"Lusitania," remarked casually, "Nearly as large
as our publishing business."
THAT this enterprising manager for the house
of Jerome H. Remick entered into several valu-
able contracts while abroad, notably with the
English firm of Francis, Day & Hunter.
THAT Miss Audrey Kingsbury confided to The
Review the other day that her new song, 'You
Can't Guess What He Wrote on My Slate" (pub-
lished by Theo. Bendix & Co.), is "rather pretty."
THAT it certainly is.
THAT Harry Montague, the author and com-
poser of Raymond Hitchcock's song success,
"What's the Use," and a new and most attractive
number in "The Hoyden," entitled, "Mile. Cou-
quette," is no less a person than Fred Day, of
Francis, Day & Hunter.
THAT his modesty in assuming a nom de plume
is to be commended.
THAT the new unnamed Victor Herbert opera
is to be published by Chas. K. Harris.
THAT "The Triumphant Banner" is still break-
ing—and deservedly so—all E. T. Paull's records.
THAT "Eastern Moon," Jerome D. Kern's new
number (T. B. Harms & Co.), met with a cordial
New York reception on Monday.
THAT the title page of "Old Faithful" (Feist
& Co.), Abe Holzmann's new march is the most
artistic thing on the market, and the melody it-
self is far and away above the average.
