"If separate titles for the different movements are desired," he says in his note, "they should be arranged as follows: I.'Legend'; II.

'Love Song'; III.

'In War-time'; IV.
'Dirge'; V.Village Festival'"-- a concession in which again one traces a hint of the inexplicable and amusing reluctance of the musical impressionist to acknowledge without reservation the programmatic basis of his work.

In the case of the "Indian" suite, however, the intention is clear enough, even without the proffered titles; for the several movements are unmistakably based upon firmly held concepts of a definite dramatic and emotional significance.

As supplemental aids to the discovery of his poetic purposes, the phrases of direction which he has placed at the beginning of each movement are indicative, taken in connection with the titles which he sanctions.
