Symphony, not syncopation is the order of the day, according to music dealers here who are responsible for the foregoing statement, “There is just as much demand for the jazz type of music as there ever was but the music is quieter and more melodious than it used to be said Miss Myrtle hroeder and George Dower, heads of two of the largest phonograph record selling agencles here. Dealers in sheet music agreed with them. “There is a tendency back toward the old ballad songs we heard 15 same sad, sweet things they were in those days,” added Miss Schroeder. “There will be more brightness and life. I believe that a new and dis- tinctive type ofyAmerican music will result.” Mr. Dower agreed in this adding that even today, many of the popular American songs are being translated into the language of France where American music made a hit during the war. General demand for classical music is finding expression in the inter- weaving of masterpieces with the present day dance music, they said. The Spring Song, Rubenstein’s Mel- ody in I, and the melodies of Rim- sky-Korsakoff (in the Song of India, | for instance) are thus finding popular audiences. Negro and oriental music are also maintaining their influence. These, fused in the crucible of the dance hall are to produce the Ameri- can music—a bright and new type of song.
