  • Stephen Foster and His Little Dog Tray (Opal Wheeler)

    Behind the gentle sadness of such songs as Old Black Joe, My Old Kentucky Home and Old Folks At Home, lies the dreaming, home-loving spirit of the man who wrote them—Stephen Collins Foster.

    There is much more in this book than the engaging story of the young Stephen Foster, and his music. In this appealing, sensitive biography of the composer whose folk songs are our common heritage, is told one of the real stories of our own America.

    The Young Brahms (Sybil Deucher)

    Frail, little son of poor parents, Brahms spent his first years of life in a wretched tenement in the old harbor city of Hamburg, Germany. It is here that the present story opens. His father, an irresponsible musician, forced his son to play piano at base taverns until all hours of the night, for whatever small pay he could get.

    But little Johannes’ love for fine music led to better avenues. Soon composing, teaching, and playing on whatever piano was available, he found a path into finer service. Several of Brahms` best known compositions are included in this book. Numerous illustrations and pages of musical score.
