And so it is with music.
So-called Russian, Bohemian, or any other purely national music has no place in art, for its characteristics may be duplicated by anyone who takes the fancy to do so.

On the other hand, the vital element of music--personality--stands alone.

We have seen the Viennese Strauss family adopting the cross rhythms of the Spanish--or, to be more accurate, the Moorish or Arab--school of art.

Moszkowski the Pole writes Spanish dances.

Cowen in England writes a Scandinavian Symphony.
