16"Piano Classics, Vol. 2."
17Thirty-one Choice Classics for the Piano-Forte by the best composers. The Phenomenal Success of "The Piano Classics," has called for an additional number. Volume two has been carefully compiled, following in about the same grade of difficulty as the "Piano Classics" and is indeed a charming collection of Instrumental Music for the Classical Musician and progressive Student. Full sheet music size, engraved plates. Price, Boards, $1.00; Cloth Gilt, $2.00.
19"Classical Collection for Violin and Piano."
20Each part in a separate book. This collection has been carefully compiled from the writings of the most eminent composers. None of the melodies are of a low character or written for a mere display of technique. The work is well prepared, free of technical tid-bits which will please the most fastidious critic. All of the melodies are rather easy, and equally suitable for either amateur or professional performance. It is printed on heavy paper from finely engraved plates. Price, Complete, $1.00, Violin Part, 50 cents; Piano, 75 cents.
22"Choice Sacred Solos for Low Voice."
23An exceedingly choice collection of Sacred Songs for Contralto, Baritone and Bass.

Each song has graceful Piano Accompaniment. Price, Heavy Paper, $1.00; Boards, $1.25; Cloth Gilt, $2.00.
25"Fairy Fingers."
26Enlarged Edition.
27This work contains a series of beautiful piano pieces, by Julius Becht, the well-known teacher and composer. They are intended especially as recreational lessons for young players who cannot reach an octave. The music is suitable for pupils who have had from four to twelve months practice, and may be played on the Reed Organ or Piano. Sheet Music size. Handsome Title. Price, Boards, $1.00; Cloth, $1.50.
29"Classical Four Hand Collection."
30Elegant Pianoforte Duets. An attractive book of Selected Gems. Large sheet music size. Printed by the transfer process from engraved plates. One of the greatest delights of piano players is the performance of good Duets—music that affords an opportunity for the players to share alike its artistic form and general interest—and this new book, "Classic Four Hand Collection," it is believed, will be a favorite with all. Among the contents are noticed such selections as Moskowski's "Spanish Dances," Bachmann's "Les Sylphes," Beethoven's "Polonaise," Godard's "Canzoneta," &c. Price, Heavy Paper, $1.00; Boards, $1.25; Cloth Gilt, $2.00.
32"Song Classics, Vol. 2."
33Since the issue of the first volume of Song Classics, there has arisen the necessity of a second volume. A doubt whether the general musical public were quite up to "classics" has been dispelled, and the cheering truth has come to the surface that "more" is wanted. We have much noble and first-class vocal music on hand, and are very glad to cater to this most desirable public need. A "classic" in music may be ten days old or ten centuries old. It makes no difference as to its high quality. Full sheet music size, engraved plates. Price, Boards, $1.00; Cloth Gilt, $2.00.
35"Songs and Games for Little Ones."
36By Gertrude Walker and Harriet S. Jenks. A new and handsome volume designed to meet the wants of the Kindergarten, the School and the Home. A large number of the songs are entirely new, having been written expressly for this book. Every Kindergarten Teacher should have it. There are Songs for Games, Action Songs, Finger Play Songs, Hymns and a Miscellaneous Collection for all purposes and occasions connected with a school of little children. One hundred and seventeen pages of Songs, Carols, Hymns, etc. A Book for the Parent and Teacher. A Beautiful Gift Book. Price, Handsomely Bound in Cloth, $2.00.
38"Whitney's Organ Album."
39The compiler of this collection of organ music thinks it hardly necessary to offer any excuse for its appearance, when it is taken into consideration how great and constant is the demand for new organ music, suitable for church and concert use as well as for teaching purposes. It is hoped that this collection will supply in part this demand. Few if any, of the numbers have appeared in any other book. One feature it is hoped will commend it-self to young organists who are often times at a loss to know how properly to register, and play on a two manual organ, a piece which was intended to be played on an instrument with three manuals. By following the registration parenthesis (which is only to be observed when a two manual organ is used), it will be found that every piece in the book can be played on either a two or three manual organ. The pedal marks above the staff are for the right foot, while those below are for the left; the sign being used to indicate the heel. Price, Boards, $2.00; Cloth, $2.50.
41"A Birthday Book of Musicians and Composers."
42This charming book is designed as a birthday register. Each day of the year is represented, containing the names of Eminent Musicians who were born and those who died on the day named; also choice apothegms and poems of famous Masters. On the opposite page to correspond there is sufficient blank space to hold, if required, twenty names or more. Is it not interesting to know whom among the Great Musical Masters were born on the same day as yourself? And is it not amusing to keep on record the birthdays of your friends and acquaintances? As the years roll by, Old Father Time will make great separation, and the memory of former companions becomes sacred to each of us. Price, Handsomely Bound in Cloth, $1.25.
44"Sabbath Day Music."
45A Superb Book for organ or piano. Handsome Lithograph of Trinity Church in colors on cover. The care which has been taken in compiling such a rare collection of high class "sacred" or devotional pieces is manifest in the exceptionally fine selections to be found between the covers of the book. It is of large sheet music size, same in size as "Piano Classics," beautifully printed on heavy paper from engraved plates. How often on Sunday do we hear people at the piano after playing a few of the familiar hymn-tunes express a wish that there was something one might play of a religious character, yet of a different and broader character than these simple tunes. In this collection are found selections from the great Oratorios, Sacred Songs, Hymnals, and some of the quiet melodious themes of the great Masters, arranged in a pleasing and not difficult manner. Price, Heavy Paper, $1.00; Boards, $1.25; Cloth Gilt, $2.00.
47"POPULAR COLLECTION FOR VIOLIN AND PIANO."
48Each Part in a Separate Book. This collection consists of over thirty Standard and Popular Compositions. Chiefly Choice Songs arranged in the Best Possible Style. None of them are difficult, and all are well adapted for Concert use; and may be creditably performed by Amateur Musicians. The Violin Parts are written within an easy compass, and the Piano Accompaniments carefully adapted to the capabilities of any performer of ordinary ability. Price, Complete (paper) $1.00. Violin Part (paper) 50 cents, Piano (paper) 75 cents.
50"POPULAR COLLECTION FOR CLARINET AND PIANO."

53"POPULAR COLLECTION FOR CORNET AND PIANO."
54Each Part in a Separate Book. Standard, Popular and Sacred Songs. All may be easily performed by any Amateur Cornetist, and are worthy the attention of the Professional Soloist. The Cornet has become one of the most Popular Instruments, not only in Grand Concerts but also in Parlor Entertainments. A song is the almost universal response to an encore, and no Instrument is so capable of giving it expression as the Cornet. Price, Complete (paper) $1.00; Cornet Part (paper) 50 cents; Piano Part, 75 cents.
56"POPULAR COLLECTION FOR FLUTE AND PIANO."
