If it is recorded for future use rt runs the risk of becoming inapt A good improvisation may or, may not stand the test of reproduction for permanent use, and the artist who improvises vrith the knowledge that whatever he say? will be expected to stand this test is acting under a restraint which may be fatal to the of his work. Wb remember once hearing a learned musical the beat hoi firs at Islington last year and one of them the best animal in the "how, their second meeting fr s.n Interval of a Tpar will be awaited with peculiar eagerness. In 1919 it required an umpire to decide between them, and both are unbeaten so far this seaoon. Thia is tho flrst time In the history of the modern Smithfleld Show that a champion animal has mad a second appearance at Islington that is, aasmning that Sir Richard Cooper's lUrmlnfrham champion, formerly the property of Mr. J.

F. Cummitur, returns rto the scene of her triumph of 1919. She is entitled professor lmnrovise in strict sonata form beforo rjinn hr succvs.1 in winninir the hhchest honour wnue still under iwo jora the flrst to achieve the Everv comer of the great hall not required tho competing exhibiU ir flllM with manufactures or produce of unportance to farmers. JFho collections of seeds and planU are always Instructive, and there are displays of implemonta an machinery ot all kinds. a claM of students.

As he did fo he analysed his own work, calling out in a high pitched voiev "Tfiis is the second subject," bow tho 1 1 1 1 uevuopmcni ocruis, me rfprwr, ana so on. The result was something exactly like a great many sonatas it was fluent, expected, apparently foreseen from first to last; But the pleasure of real improvisation; like real con venation, is that it is not foreseen by the creator of it It surprises him as much as the listener. It may develop In sonata form, or fugue, or any other strict style that depends on how far the artist's, mind ha been disciplined by the externals of musical design. It will certainly have form of some sort, because form is the musician's of communication with others. Listening to M.

Dnpre and watching him at the organ, one Is convinced that at the beginning of an impror visation he is as tinconscions as anyone else of where the thought may lead him; He is start ing out on an adventure. The rune was thecase with S. S. Wesley, greatest of Englisli church musicians in the last Those i who re member him in the; organ loft say that Wesley would extemporise the most unheard of tilings harmomc progressions which he would never have written, out through which he groped his way almost as though he were under the con 7 trol of some hypnotic influence. Whatever it is, in such an instance improvisation is clearly carried on by an altogether different mental process from that by which the same man1 when he ahs down to his musio paper to compose, although the initial impulse 'towards musical invention may be the same.

When the art of music was in a comparatively Jirimitive condition, there was much more room or the exercise of this faculty than there is to day. Even after notation had made it possible for composers to express themseh es with fair accuracy; and printing had secured a wide distribution for their ideas, they were still loth to forgo the fascination of yielding to the impulse of the moment The scores of Corelli's violin sonatas, for example, merely contain as much of the music aa will keep the solo player and the accompanist in touch 'with one 'another. Both are free to improvise the details. Corelli and other artist of his generation were generally their own interpreters, but en after the point when the process of specialization had separated compose from performer it was felt that a solo work of any size would not be complete in expression unless the; latter was given i an opportunity of giving rise to his own imagination at, some point or Hence the cadenza. Brahms was the last of the great composers to' leave this open door, but Joachim shut it by writing his "own cadenza to the violin concerto and by his own frequent performance associating it with the work.

It would be a bold fiddler indeed who would stand up in Queen's Hall today and improvise a cadenza before the coda of Brahms's first movement, or, indeed, in any other classical concerto, but it is the refusalfto attempt it which has made that point in the concerto the futile thing it is. It places all the great virtuosi of tho concert room in the' absurd, position of pretending to impronse something which they have really learnt by heart Of course, there is no actual deception every (one knows" that they have learnt it by' heart sometimes they have written it themselves, sometimes it has been composed and published by somebody else, but in any 'case it is an effect carefully uiouijvu iu suggn, a luuiiiciit ii sinniiaiieiiy. it comes about that improvisation has been forced out of the concert room altogether, as at an earlier stage it was 'forced but of, the opera house when autocratic composers nsisted that singers should confine themselves strictlv to the notes written down for them. Composers have. meir ngnis, ana me iirst ot tnem ts that what is performed as being by them should be what they have reallj written.

Yet there was something generous about the old plan of the concerto in which the composer, having developed his theme to his heart's content, said in effect to liis interpreter, Now. what do you think about it! The practical position now' ijs that the only clas of executant who has any opportunity of using his powers in this direction is the organist and the example of Dupr6 and others bf the French school shows that it is a power which thrives on opportunity; If it is strangled by the conventions of modem music, it will be so much tfte worse for the art EARLY WALL PAPERS.
