There are a few. however, who are
willing to give their iirti'tic constitu

who are unwilling to sell their sopls
to the devil called Mammon. They
ate very scarce. One seeks them 11 la

There is another kind of composer
who, realizing that he cannot succeed
in the mot marketable forms, such as
opera, is willing to run his limited fac

make, let us say. good songs
Hut there Is only a chosen and al
most Invisible company vvlibh tries

content to let the public attitude in

Strauss has confidently ptocl.ilmed
himself to be not this kind of rumple

He advertised his novelty In art pit
