COMPOSITIONS 

BY 

ARNOLD  BAX 


"  LULLABY  "  for  "Pianoforte  Solo     -     2s.  net. 

DAILY  TELEGRAPH. 

"In  the  charming  'Lullaby,'  which  Miss  Harriet  Cohen  had  to  repeat,  Mr.  Bax  gives  us  freshness  of  thought, 

piquantly  expressed  without  a  superfluous  note. 
"Mr.  Bax  is  far  from  showing  that  contempt  for  a  tune  which  too  many  of  our  more  ambitious  young 

composers  are  apt  to  assume." 

Mr.  TOBIAS  MATTHAY  writes: 

"  I  have  immediately  told  music  pupils  to  get  it,  as  I  like  it  immensely.    It  is  a  great  addition  to  the  Bax  music." 

DAILY  TELEGRAPH. 

"A  little  work  for  the  pianoforte  which  should  be  welcomed  by  those  interested  in  a  modern  British  repertory. 
"It  was  to  Miss  Harriet  Cohen  we  owe  the  first  public  performance  of  the  'Lullaby,'  and  its  appearance  now 

in  print  but  accentuates  the  pleasant  impression  then  made. 
"  The  work  is  subdued  in  tone,  conceived  in  a  half-light  so  to  speak,  and  it  has  a  shapeliness  that  is  ingratiating  "
