Now the fact that it is no longer possible to advance this iden without arousing hoots of derision from the average man is the sign of a tremen- dous advance not only in musical appreciation but in general intelligence. Though it sounds like midsummer nudness it does happen to be quite true that in the last war enraged patriots had their Steinways and their Bluthners carted out on to the croquet lawn, where they were hacked to pieces with axes by puzzled under-gardeners. Pianos have not been so foolishly treated since the days when their lega were adorned with drawers by Victorian Indica, in the intermen, rich and poor, Jew and. ests of modesty,
