work I-shall demonstrate how far the
new system benefits the old. Here I
shall only correct some of my former
opinions.
In my former article I stated that the
method of representing sounds step by
step in regular scale: would helpfhe sing-
‘er ‘to’ give ,f_h;e_ precise pitch ;‘ since the
eye would Ihen be broiighi to flit? .’!S3!—§°
tance of the ear. 1 also ‘stated that this
assistance was lost in the new system, as
several of the scales are made irregular
by having on some degrees no notes at
all, and on others two instead of-one.-
Such ideas appear well on paper, but in
really the thing is by no means so. I:
is true that for the eye there existsa reg-
ularity like the steps of a ladder, but the
ear does not go by that not is it benefit-
ted thereby. In the major scale the steps
from the 3d to the 4th, and from the 7th to
the 8th degrees are smaller intervals than
in the other degrees. In the Minor scale
the steps from’ 5 to 6, 6 to 7, and 7 to 8
are sometimes smaller and sometimes lar-
ger according as fhe‘scale is used for liar-
monious purposes. Now if the interval:
of a scale slioiild appear to the eye on
paper precisely. asfliey do to ‘ the car, if
\vould be necessary to represent the half
whole and superfluous tones smaller and
larger according to tho distances of the
intervals. The singer must accustom
himself in the old as in the new scale» to
contradictions. He must often imagine
the intervals sometimes nearer and some‘-
times more distant than they appear to
the eye. The old Notation ha: in this
respect the same, and even more iniper-.
fections than die now, while the latter
dispenses with all chromatic sign: for el-
evation and depression, such as single
and double sharps, single and double flats
natural and sharp, natural and flat, &c.,
and the old is anxious to preserve all these
characters, which it has invented asa bob-
by, and which by no means make: the
written harmony correspond to the tones
as they seem to. the ear.
I ask you which of the two here fol-
lowing notations is, the simplest and
which brings the writing part more in
harmony with the tones as they appear
to the ear, that under 1, or that under 2?
(Remark; write the example out in
notes) 1,g, g sharp, g double sharp, g with
a iiatnral 2, g white and g black a white
and g white, (sole, see, la, sole) '3 After
all what is the Notation by regular stop:
good for? Do we only sing and play
by scales? Or do we not much oftener
sing and play inskips or all kinds of in-
tervals? but this leads to further inves-
tigations. The new‘ Notation make: it
more difficult to sing the precise pitch
than the old so say the opponents of Mr.
Von Heeringen, and I have said so 1.00.
Let. us see what is true in this objection.
The old Notation feaché: for example
the interval f and g sharp, (write it out in
notes.) is a superfluous second. you can-
yourself and the whole world, but you
can for the eye write this interval in 4
dz_'fl32rcnt ways f and aflat, ore shai-p,and
g sharp, thanks to our beloved, flats and
sharps, I can drive this still farther and
write e sharp, and a flat. If the pupil»
asks the teacher in his innocence why
are these two tones written in so differ-
ent a manner? “That is gained by it?
The teacher will say “although the above
is proved to be an error, we gain the uni-
form scales" and he adds still more we
gain beautiful double and triple meanings
melodical, harmonica] and enharmonical
scales 3! But no farther questions and dis-
pute, come here and sing for me the su-
perfluous second f and g sharp, in perfect
intonation, very true.
Now you look upon the smiling. satis-
tory and selfish face of the teacher ‘after
the pupil has tried his best, but made a
miss! ! Nespa, my dear pupil that is dif-
ficiili? But never mind, never mind,
don’! be ashamed. I and the most skil-
ful teacher would not be able to sing the
-interval better, if written in this manner,

Dont imagine this interval as a superflu
ons second, not as fg sharp,-but take it
as f a flat, or as e sharp, and g sharp. im-
press the interval differently in your mind
from what it actually seems on paper,
and you will sing it right at once.
Uiifortiinatcly Mr. Von Heel-ingen
who llltel1(lS—l.O pay the teacher a visit,
hears this conversation while opening
the door, and says to the teacher, Sir,
are you not ashamed to teach the pupil
such trash, and to trouble him in such a
way? ~If you count from f to g sharp
you count from 1 to "'4, from 1 4 you
count from f to a flat, and from c sharp
to g sharp and from c sharp to a flat.-
This relationship of numbers is according
to the reaily uiiciiangeable and in fact
existing intervals a fourth, why then do
you call this for the ear, always one and
the same interval.’ once a second.
once a fourth, and twice a third? Why
do you write it four times differently not-
witbstaiiding, it can never be executed
but in the same manner? And the
American enemy and demolisher of these
optical deceiving characters is right.-
'Every sound has but one nnchangeable
pitch as well on the Piano Keyboard as
on any other instrument, so in fact foi

but one place on paper and surely enough
on but one name. If we count from any
one key on the Piano to the very next

2 is a second. Do we count from any

If you never have froubeled yourself
about an interval in your whole life you
have learned now-allintervals that really
do exist for the ear, in the compass of a
division and you can give or show every
interval from any given Key, ,

Key Dee and ask you to show the elev-

should pretend to have learned them in

give you any how some questions that
would puzzle you. In cracking such
hard nuts, you would soon become des-
perate. The advantage of the new sys-
tem even forifhe singer .;is easily discov-
ered, and comprehended. Itis a fact in
regard to this. The.Nofa_tion shall pro-
duce an image in the mind of the singer
of the descending and ascendiiig move-
ments, bnt neither the new not the old
notation is doing this man absolute or
positive manner. One and, the same dis-
tance of sound appears in both systems
on different degrees of the staff. The in-
ferval l,to 4‘ can appear in three different
distances of sound in the old Notation
when it every time belongs to a different
scale and is commenced every time on a
different Key for instance.
a) C flat; :1, b) 1' a. flat,e) fdouble sharp
and b flat. . ._ ’
Under a) is the interval a superfluous
second and the singer must instead of
imagining the Key 0, think of the next
Key below, which is B, he must in his
mind make the interval larger than it ap-
pears on paper when it seems to be more
contracted. Under b) is the interval a
not says thefeacher alter this interval but‘
you must sing it always the same for
small third, the singer must think of the
next Key below A instead of A itself and
interval more narrow than it appears on
the paper. Under c) is the interval a
double diminished fourth, it appears
to the eye mncli larger than it is
to the ear, and the mind has to make
a double process in transposing
-the lower note two Keys ascen-
ding and the higher note one Key dei-
cending. This interval appears in the
new notation as following: No. ], Pa;
ray; No. 2, fa; see; No. 3, sole; lee.
.. Therefore in the distance of space on-
ly twice different while in the old Nota-
tion 3 time: and’ consequently already
here simpler, but we must also consider
that for the’ singei-’ev_ery interval appears
constantly under the same note picture
or character (note) but that in the old
ferent note pictures f. i., B flat, a double
sharp. ‘Again _we must take into con-
sideration that. in the new notation ap-
pear: cvery sound under the same note
or is represented always by one and the
same character while in the old every
sound is written by 3 different notes.—-
The interval above undei: number 2 fa,
see can never appear different, but (‘in
the’ old notation it appears under 4 dif-
ferentnote pictures, thus :--1’ and g sharp,
e sharp g sharp, f, a flat, e sharp a flat,
I ask you now which Notation is even
for the singer the simplest’! The one
which represents every sound constantly
by one and the same unchangeable. and
positive character always on the same
degree and has but one nnchangeable
name for it‘, or the one that represents
each sound by 3 different notes on three
different degrees of the staff, and has three
different namesfor it? -The further we
follow. the consistency of the new Nota-
tion and the more impartially wed exam-
in: it, the more shall we discover the
great rabbis/1. with which our old Doc-
trine is overloaded and full of. If we
take the sharps and flats away, the whole
enharmonic falls to ashes and one will

ing, bul. a mere imagination and idle
pretensian, of which the practical music

you will effect any thing at all materially
with it. Gotfr. VVe_ber has atready seen
that the enharmonic difference is a mere
trifle and ourear hears hardly any thing
.;’rj’i, and that we very easily may adopt
same Key. But if so, why then have
different writing and'difl’ercnt"nanies ?—
We find in many works, particularly
from Spohr one and the same sound in
one part. as D flat, and in another part as
C sharp, just as it appeared to him the ea-
siest‘ for the singer to sing -the interval.
