Tertis, Lionel. Cinderella No More. London: Peter Nevill, 1953. [An autobiographical journey of Tertis, from his youth as a Jewish child in England and his beginning studies of violin and viola, to his recognition that the viola is not a second-class violin but on that is worthy of a significant repertoire of its own. He tells of retuning the instrument to play an Elgar piece, much to Elgar's delight; then of is successful career as a solist and ensemble player - a great, hobnobbing with all the greats. He tells of a splendid Montagnana viola that he was fortunate to find and then recounts how, when writing a booklet called Beauty of Tone for String Players, he designed the Tertis Model viola, which altered the history, perception, and reception of the instrument. As Thomas Beecham put it, "this Cinderella branch of the orchestra," formerly considered to be "one of the necessary and unavoidable evils which had to be endured" was miraculously redeemed; "the fact that the whole balance of the modern orchestra was rectified was due from A to Z to Tertis. He had heard the long and justified praise bestowed on him as a virtuoso; but when the history of music here and abroad came to be written, this saving of the orchestra's 'distressed area' would be recognized as his greatest achievement" (p. 98).]

The fates they were kind, and she went to ball;

He'd marry whoever that small shoe could wear.
What really happened? why you'll never guess,
That's how Cinderella became a Princess. p.14]

Chorus: First they'd hug and kiss, and then go a little farther, a little farther. He would let her steer the machine, So he could cuddle right up close to his little queen. Then his arms would steal around her, A little farther, a little farther; They would spoon a minute or so, And then a little bit farther they'd go. Vamp 2: Billy Dean took Mabel in his machine To the home of Rev'rend mister Green.

Verse I: Once upon a time there lived a pretty little maid,
She did all the work while her stepsisters played.
Then there came a day the king invited one and all,
Ev'ryone was welcome to dance at the ball.
She dressed her stepsisters for the grand affair,
But she couldn't go, she had nothing to wear.
When she was alone she snuggled by the fireside,
Bowed her little head and then she softly cried,
Chorus:
I'm just a poor Cinderella,
Nobody loves me it seems.
And like a poor Cinderella
I find my romance in dreams.
For that's where I meet my Prince Charming,
When I'm with him cares fade away,
I'm just a poor Cinderella,
But I'll be a princess some day.
Verse II:Then a little fairy said, "You need not cry at all,
You're so sweet and gentle you'll go to the ball!"
Waved her little wand and Cinderella's dream came true,
At the stroke of midnight her remance was through.
The Prince found her slipper and said "I declare,
Who owns this glass slipper my kingdom will share!"
Little Cinderella soon became a blushing bride,
Now she sings her song with a Prince by her side:
Chorus:
I'm just a poor Cinderella [etc.]
