A brief but worthwhile sur-vey, especially of “The League of Composers” (365): “The Arrow Music Press is a cooperative venture. The composer pays all, or a portion of, the expense of publishing his compositions and in return receives all but a small fraction of the return. A very interesting catalogue has al-ready been issued by the press, which appears to be increasing its acti-vities.” With the Arrow Press imprint and its subsidiary Cos Cob Press, the following works of Ives were published: Sonata [No. 4] for violin and piano; Serenity; Sixty--Seventh Psalm; Charlie Rutlage; Evening; The Greatest Man', Walking; Seven Songs’, Third Symphony (“The Camp Meeting”) [CI 87); Sonata No. 2, “Concord, Mass., 1840--1860,” for piano; and Where the Eagle (in the Cos Cob Song Volume). The Cos Cob Press was later absorbed by the Arrow Music Press that in turn was merged into Associated Music Publishers. Ives and Walter Piston had the most titles in this catalogue. The article re-prints “Prologue” from Essays Before a Sonata.

Nicolas Slonimsky is the subject of this pro-file. Includes his reminiscences of his early, pioneering conducting (November 17: 88-89, 91-92) of Ives’s compositions (esp. Orchestral Set No. 1: Three Places in New England). Uses quotations from Slo-nimsky’s autobiography.

“Ives’ Brass Band has included among its soloists an infantile performer on the <i>vox humana.</i>”

Charles Ives, a young son of George E. Ives, is to take charge of the organ of the West street church, and will enter upon the duties of organist tomorrow. Charlie has inher-ited a generous supply of his father's musical genius.
