The article focuses on some recent developments in the field of music. For some years, the custom was observed of not giving any serious concerts or song recitals in New York until the first of November. Last year, singer David Bispham broke this rule, and again this year, several singers have followed his example, while others have announced their intention of doing so. Elise Polko's musical sketches are announced in an enlarged and illustrated edition by the Sturgis & Walton Co. The new edition is to include sketches never before Englished. That great music is often allied with great poems is proved by the Gems of German Song, a revised version of which is issued by the Oliver Ditson Co. The collection is made with taste and a regard for variety of style.
