 understand. These I have put together in a cover, and keep in 

 the drawer at the bottom of our instrument. Thus, if a £>erson 

 wants a given record, he can go to this list, find it, and then

 language, whatever it may be. In this way, I have learned con- 

 siderable, and find it a great help with my German to listen to 

 an artist like Mme, Schumann-He ink . One of my favorites is her 

 rendition of Schumann's Mondnacht, which begins:-
