    THE MARKETPLACE HOW WELL DID EDISON RECORDS SELL? During the latter part of 1919 Thomas A. Edison, Inc. began to keep cumulative sales figures for those records that were still available. The documents were continued into 1920 and then stopped. While the documents included sales figures for all series of discs time allowed me to copy only those figures for the higher priced classical series. Thus the present article includes the 82,000 ($2.00); 82,500 ($2.50); 83,000 ($3.00) and 84,000 ($4.00) series. Should there be sufficient interest it may be possible to do the other series at a later date. While the document did list some of the special Tone-Test records pressing figures were included for only two of them. I have arbitrarily excluded them and propose to discuss the Edison Tone Tests at a later date. The documents also originally included supplementary listings, which, for the sake of convenience, have been merged into the regular listings. The type copy of the major portion of the listings has been taken from regular Edison numerical catalogs and forms the framework of my forthcoming Complete Edison Disc Numerical Catalog. Several things may be noted: 1) Many of the sales figures seem surprisingly small and many of the records must be classed as rarities; 2) Deletion was not always because of poor sales-mold damage also played a part; 3) Records were retained even with extremely disappointing sales. Without a knowledge of the reason for discontinuance we cannot assume anything concerning records that had already been discontinued.

    A Caravan of Culture: Visitors to Emporia, Kansas by Charles E

    A Caravan of Culture: Visitors to Emporia, Kansas by Charles E. Webb INTRODUCTION hat do Ulysses S. Grant, "Buffalo Bill" Cody, Susan B. Anthony, Will Rogers, Ethel Barrymore, and Dr. \Verner Von Braun haye in common"? They were W among the hundreds of famous people that have visited EmpOria, Kansas during the past one hundred years. In­ dividuals and groups of national and international fame, represen­ ting the arts, seiencl's. education, politics, and entertainment, have pa~sed before Emporia audiences in a century long parade. Since 1879, this formidable array of personalities has provided informa­ tion and entertainment to Emporia citizens at an average rate of once eaeh fifteen days, The occasional appearanee of a famous personality in a small city may well be considered a matter of historical coineidence. When, however, such visits are numbered in the hundreds, arc fre­ quent, and persist for a century, it appears reasonable to rank the phenomenon as an important part of that eity's cultural heritage. Emporia, although located in the interior plains, never ae­ cepted the role of being an isolated community. It seems that the (own's pioneers eonsidered themselves not on the frontier fringi'" of America, but strategically situated near its heart. From the town's beginning, its inhabitants indicated an intention of being informed and participating members of the national and world communities. To better understand why Emporia was able to attract so many distinguished guests, a brief examination of its early development is required. In the formative years of the city's history wc may identify some of the events, attitudes, and preparations Ihat literally set the stage for a procession of renowned visitors.

  • Toscanini IV – La Scala and the Metropolitan Opera

    Toscanini IV – La Scala and the Metropolitan Opera

    Toscanini IV – La Scala and the Metropolitan Opera Trying to find a balance between what the verbal descriptions of Toscanini’s conducting during the period of roughly 1895-1915 say of him and what he actually did can be like trying to capture lightning in a bottle. Since he made no recordings before December 1920, and instrumental recordings at that, we cannot say with any real certainty what his conducting style was like during those years. We do know, from the complaints of Tito Ricordi, some of which reached Giuseppe Verdi’s ears, that Italian audiences hated much of what Toscanini was doing: conducting operas at the written tempos, not allowing most unwritten high notes (but not all, at least not then), refusing to encore well-loved arias and ensembles, and insisting in silence as long as the music was being played and sung. In short, he instituted the kind of audience decorum we come to expect today, although of course even now (particularly in Italy and America, not so much in England) we still have audiences interrupting the flow of an opera to inject their bravos and bravas when they should just let well enough alone. Ricordi complained to Verdi that Toscanini was ruining his operas, which led Verdi to ask Arrigo Boïto, whom he trusted, for an assessment. Boïto, as a friend and champion of the conductor, told Verdi that he was simply conducting the operas pretty much as he wrote them and not allowing excess high notes, repeats or breaks in the action. Verdi was pleased to hear this; it is well known that he detested slowly-paced performances of his operas and, worse yet, the interpolated high notes he did not write.

Expanding on the concept of Richard Wagner's Gesamptkunstwerk, The War Poems was written to combine various elements for an intermedia composition, including music, five slide projectors, lighting, and costume. The War Poems was written for solo male voice, chamber orchestra, and chorus. Text used in the piece was taken from the writings of the English World War I poet, Siegfried Sassoon. The seven sections of the piece are designated by a specific poem of Sassoon's: Section 1. "Secret Music", 2. "The Kiss", 3. "The Dragon and the Undying", 4. "Dreamers", 5. "A Night Attack", 6.

    Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C., President, University of Notre Daine, at a Memorial Mass for Richard Tucker, St

    (Eulogy delivered by the Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C., President, University of Notre Daine, at a Memorial Mass for Richard Tucker, St. Patrick's Cathedral, New York City, October 14, 1975) On behalf of His Eminence, Terence Cardinal Cooke, who is offering this M.emorial Mass, and especially on behalf of the family of Richard Tucker, his dear wife, Sara, and his sons, Barry, David, and Henry, I welcome all of you, his friends, to this memorial service in the great Cathedral of Saint Patrick, in the great City in which Richard was born, grew up, performed as few others have, so well and so long and so thrillingly, and where so sadly last January he was laid to rest after a heartrending service at the Met in Lincoln Center. To the casual observer, this must seem to be a very unusual occasion: to have a Memorial Mass offered by the Cardinal Archbishop of New York in thanksgiving for the talents of a deceased Jewish opera star in this great Cathedral, with a eulogy preached by the President of the University of Notre Dame. .. All I can say to you, my friends, is that this great man whom we remember so fondly today was a very unusual person. The unusual was the story of his life. The son of poor Bessarabian immigrants, Richard began singing at the age of six in the Allen Street Synagogue on the lower East Side. He was later a drop-out from Brooklyn's New Utrecht High School, to work at every manner of odd jobs so that he could earn enough money to pay for his voice lessons.
