CLASSICAL MUSIC

SIGNOR CESARONYS PUPILS. Seatietadtemamenn GRAND CONCERT ON MONDAY. It is not an uncommon experience to meet people who do not hesitate to proclaim themselves unsatisfied with classical music. "It leaves me cold," * one lover of lighter melody wae recently heard to exclaim. Others less drastic would probably be content to say that "high class’ music leaves them in a doubtful and somewhat dis appointed frame of mind. This, however, is no new complaint. It has been voiced since first the Great Masters of the art gave the world their inspired compositions. As° all must realise, melodious music gives immense pleasure; but, to quote Signor: ' Cesaroni, ‘We must also consider that this form of music is written in such a way as to give its pleasing tones’ quite unaffected by the difficult and complicated instrumentations which, Iwhen interwoven into the melody by a master brain, imparts to it a greater’ and more interesting charm." | With light ballad music the listener,’ after hearing a composition a few’ times, is apt to wish for something new; but into classical music there is wrought by great minds that which’ etrables us to receive fron it not only true musical education. but permanent. enjoyment as well. This latter is the class of music which Signor Cesaroni has been . giving, and will continue to give, per medium. of 2YA, to many thousands of delighted listeners who love to hear correctly inter. preted the music of Beethoven, Mverbeer, Mozart, Puccini, Donizetti, Thomas, Saint Saens, Appolloni, Greig, Handel, and Verdi.
