Friedrich Gernsheim (Bom at Worms, July 17, 1839; now living in Berlin.) • "To a Drama" was published in 19 10. It was performed at a Phil- harmonic Concert in BerHn, October 24, 19 10, conducted by Mr. Nik- isch. It is scored for three flutes (one interchangeable with piccolo), two oboes, English horn, two clarinets, bass clarinet, three bassoons, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, bass tuba, four kettledrums, cymbals, tam-tam, harp, and the usual strings. The tone-poem begins Allegro moderato, C minor, 4-4, with a theme announced, dolce e tranquillo, by the wood-wind, and the final phrase is echoed by the strings. A continuation leads to a more vigorous phrase, wood-wind, which later is freely used. Development after a climax is followed by measures in gentler mood, and a suave motive is sung (A -flat major, meno mosso), at first by the first violins. The tempo changes, vivo e agitato, and there is a section of a stormy nature with use of fresh and also familiar material. An expressive ascending motive (English horn, bassoons, lower strings) is worked to a climax. Tempo I. (moderato), C minor. There is a return of the opening theme, and there is long development until there is a robust motive, derived from former material, for full orchestra, C major. A short contrasting section, molto meno mosso, quasi Fantasia, introduces an important section. Andante amoroso e molto sostenuto quasi Adagio, G-flat major, 12-8, beginning with flute solo and wood-wind accompaniment. There is a return to the tempo at the beginning, and there is use of former material with trumpet-calls. The suave theme first announced in A-flat major, meno mosso, reappears now in C major. Other themes are heard again, as in recapitulation. A few solemn measures intro- Grand Operas to be Performed this Season in NEW YORK BOSTON CHICAGO ••GIRL OF THE GOLDEN WEST."

He also studied the violin and theory. Instead of becoming a virtuoso, he went to the Leipsic Conservatory for a thorough training, and during the years 1852-55 studied under Moscheles, Hauptmann, Rietz, and Richter. From Leipsic he went to Paris, where he studied, taught, and was heard as a pianist. In 1861 he was conductor at Saarbruck. In 1865 he taught piano and composition at the Cologne Conservatory, The Duke of Coburg-Gotha in 1872 gave him the title of Professor. In 1874 Gernsheim was appointed conductor of the Maatschappij-Con- certs at Rotterdam. From 1890 to 1897 he taught at the Stern Con- servatory, Berlin, and until 1904 he conducted the Stemscher Gesang- verein in that city, and since 1897 he was conductor of the "Kruditio Musica" in Rotterdam. In the last-named year he was made a member of the Senate of the Royal Academy of Arts in Berlin, and in 1901 a principal of the Royal Academic Master School for Composition. His colleagues in 19 10 were Bruch and Humperdinck. His chief compositions, with dates of first performance, are as fol- lows : SELECTED PIECES FOR VIOLONCELLO AND PIANO CARL BOHM.
