There are some who scorn a 'best seller', but the world's choice is no mere whim; no one can write a 'best seller' at will. To people of varied tastes and character come moments of inspiration, moments when they respond to the pulse of humanity, and from them come the tunes and lyrics that set the world singing. Only the greatest men can meet the world in its most sublime moods and produce for us the classical compositions that survive. The composer of a 'best seller' need not be great in that sense, but he must be a lover, he must be in sympathy with his fellow-men.
