216 PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTIONS, 



Then as serving to unite these variously-constituted 

 groups of those who make the musical art a profession, and 

 of those who give themselves to the practice of it as ama 

 teurs, we have a periodical literature sundry musical jour 

 nals devoted to reports and criticisms of concerts, operas, 

 oratorios, and serving to aid musical culture while they 

 maintain the interests of the teachers and performers.
