FUTURIST MUSIC

Tho "Fnturists," wlios^ high priest is Signor Marin-otti, hnxv lurt issued a manifesto dealing with tiir> music of FutTiVi-v-n. Just &s they endeavoured to rfH ohitionise painting and literature, they *re now aspiring to revolutionise music. They "say (according*1 to the Paris correspondent of the "Chronicle") tlmt such groat masters as Beethoven' and Wajmer moved the hearts of tfu; public for .so many years that now they nro weary of them. Because of this, the manifesto continues:—"W© take infinitely greater pleasure in ideally combining the noises of tram- ■>'

way cars, of automobiles, of various vehicles, arid of buzzing crowds, rather than in still listening. to classical music." It appears (adds the "Chronicle") that when tho Futurist musicians have interpreted the noises ~of grea-ii cities in their own manner the univHtoo will become one vast orchestra.
