Masonic Hal] Richmond Hill Monday, FEB. 24 As a successor to Haydn, Beethov- en was ‘borfr in Germany in 1770. He'allso lived in Vienna, and is com sideredf by many people to be the greatest of all musicians. He he- came deaf quite early in life, and many of his best compositions were Talking PICTURES Adults 25c. After the death of Handel and Bach, two other musicians carried! on the wonk of musical composition. These were Haydn and! Mozart. They were both Austrians, and rboth lived for some time in Vienna. Haydn was born in 1732 and lived' to -be seventyaseven, while Mozart was born in‘ 1756 and dial when he was only thirty-five. Haydn was robu'st and) happyâ€"fond: of playing pranks, even in some of his music, 'but Moz- art was more serious and delicate. He was also very poor, which per- haps brought about his early death. Both men wrote symphonies, besides inventing a new type of music known as string quartets, written for four stringed invstru‘me'ntsutwo violins, a vila and a viola and a Violoncello. A viola resemlbles a violin but is somewhat larger, and has a lower compass of notes, while the Violonp cello is a very large violin‘ which is held against the knee while being played. The first great composers of the eighteenth century were Bach and Handel, Who were 'both born in Ger- many in 16815. Bach spent most of his life as a church musician in Gerâ€" man cities, and wrote many cantatas for chumh services, fbesides organ! fugues and sona‘tas, and works for the orchestra and' the clavichord. His music is not always easy to under- stand, and] certainly is not easy to play, but as goodl music it has never (been surpassed. Handel left Germany when he was a young man, and spent the remainder of his life in England, where 'he was very popular as a composer of operas and- oratorios. (Operas are plays or dramas set to music, and- oratorios are sacredi stor- ies set to music. Handlel was' very fondl of the harpsichord, and wrote much music for it, including some variations which later writers have named the “Harmonious Black- smith”. Here is the second cortest in the series promoted by the Toronto Con- servatory of Music. Read the ar;-. icle and keep it if you like. At the end of the seven articles, one of which will be published each week. contestants will be required to an-’ Slwer the questions in writing at an; examination held in the schools. Ar.- swers to the questions are obvious after reading the article in connec- tion. Read the rules below and Watch for the contest article by Christopher Wood, Music Critic and Editor of Canadian Music MagazirTe and musician, in next week’s paper. SOME MEN WHO HAVE MADE MUSIC Dr. F. G. Homood written after he was totally deaf. He wrote nine famous symphonies, and ccmpcsiticns for piano, violin and string quartet, as well as an opera and an oratorio. He always carried a sketch book with him on his walk- ing jouineys, in which he recorded the themes that occurred to him, and which were later used in his Compositions. Another musician who lived in Vi- enna was Schubert. He was how in 1797 and died! when only thirty- one. He, like_Mozart, was povertv stricken, and was forced to sell many of his best compositions for a very small amount of money to keep him~ selJf alive. His melodies have never been excelled.

Elrgar was Mas¢er of the King’s Music, and julst before his death: wrote a set of pieces of descriptive music known as the “Nursery Suite" for the Princesses Elizabeth and‘ Margaret Rose.
