velop his own musical ear and imagina- tion. Even the recording artist will not perform the same work in precisely the same manner each time. Classics as Duets. No. 1. Transcribed for two Players by Marion Bauer. (Little Treasury Album, No. 12.) New York: Heritage Music Publica- tions, 1953. [17 p.; $.50]

All of the seven duets included here are arrangements of elementary solo pieces which can be found in innumerable collections and are studied as such by practically all piano students. The volume is no fresh supplement to the fine folk- song and dance-form duets which are in constant use. Too bad-for there is a great demand for new material. Folk Songs and Dances. [Vol.] Two. Selected and arranged by Cecily Lambert. (Little Treasury Album, No. 11.) New York: Heritage Music Publications, 1953. [16 p.; $.50]

Sixteen songs and dances of nine coun- tries arranged with words for elementary grades. If these are to be sung, as the inclusion of words suggests, a child would require a vocal range from C below middle C to high G. The melody is often passed between the hands, and phrases are divided between the hands. This is

confusing to a young child. There are too few "new" folk tunes, which are appealing to the average child, to be worth the cost of the whole volume. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Authen- tic Edition of Sonata, A Major (K. 331); Fantasy, D Minor (K. 397); Sonata, G Major (K. 283); Rondo, D Major (K. 485). Prepared for the student by Oswald Jonas and Leo Podolsky. Chicago: Clayton F. Summy Co., 1955. [48 p.; $1.50]

This "authentic edition" is prepared with every effort to be faithful to the composer's intention. In general it is successful, particularly in the matter of dynamics and phrasing (the phrasing in the 68th measure of the Rondo, however, could be questioned: the sixteenth-note pattern is slurred separately rather than joined to the adjacent eighth note). There is an inconsistency to be noted in the ornamentation-the trill in measure one of the last movement of K.283 should begin on the note above. In most cases the editor indicated this correctly. The few editorial slips in the Fantasia include some over-pedalling and slurs in measure 25 and elsewhere that are hardly Mozartian.
