sulting from their sale should be paid to a nurse who was at
one time needed in his household. They are mature pieces,
although slight in form.

AMOURETTE, FOR PIANOFORTE.

This is a charming piece, published separately. It is
characteristic, although not deeply inspired.

FORGOTTEN FAIRY TALES, FOR PIANOFORTE.

_First Published_, 1897 (P. L. Jung). Assigned, 1899, to Arthur
P. Schmidt,

1._Sung Outside the Prince's Door_.

2. _Of a Tailor and a Bear_.

3. _Beauty in the Rose-Garden._

4. _From Dwarf-land._

These trifles are of a refined and genuinely poetical order,
possessing all the composer's suggestive tone poetry in a light
garb.

1. _Sung Outside the Prince's Door (Softly, wistfully)._ This
opens with a tender and expressive theme. The middle section,
_Pleadingly_, is described by this indication. Altogether, the
piece is a little gem, full of sweet and wistful expressiveness.

2. _Of a Tailor and a Bear (Gaily, pertly)._ This is a fanciful
little piece, the antics of the bear being happily suggested. The
tunes are lively and the whole thing has a delightful old-world
atmosphere about it. Some of the marks of expression are very
characteristic, including, _Growlingly, clumsily_, etc.

3._Beauty in the Rose-Garden (Not fast;_ _sweetly and simply)._ A
pleading little theme opens this number. The middle section,
indicated _Well marked, almost roughly_, has a touch of passion
in its feeling. The resumption of the opening tune is marked
_Sadly_, and the piece concludes rather beautifully, with great
tenderness.

4. _From Dwarf-land (Merrily, quaintly)._ This opens with a merry
theme, and is full of quaint and delightful little touches.

TWO PIECES, IN LILTING RHYTHM, FOR PIANOFORTE.

These two pieces are explained by their titles and are of little
importance.

SIX FANCIES, FOR PIANOFORTE.

_First Published_, 1898 (P.L. Jung). Assigned 1899, to Arthur P.
Schmidt.

1. _A Tin Soldier's Love_.

2 ._To a Humming Bird_.

3. _Summer Song_.

4. _Across Fields_.

5. _Bluette_.

6. _An Elfin Round_.

This is a characteristic album, the pieces in it being
imaginative and suggestive, in tone poetry, of their subjects,
although not of the composer's deepest inspiration.

1._A Tin Soldier's Love (Gently, with Feeling)._ This little
piece opens with a sweet and simple theme, followed by a toy-like
march tune, and these make up the material of the piece.

2. _To a H
