PUBLISHED BY C. A. ELLIS, MANAGER. (201) A Remarkable Piano. The Mason & Hamlin Piano is constructed in one particular dif- ferently from any other : the strings are held by screws, not by pins. As a result, the Mason & Hamlin Piano does not require one-quarter as much tuning as any other piano made. This fact has been demonstrated by actual test, and verified by mechanics, tuners, and private individuals. Piano tuning costs money. It costs only one-fourth as much to keep a Mason & Hamlin Piano in tune as it does to keep any other in tune. Consequently the expense of keeping a Mason & Hamlin Piano is reduced to one-fourth that of any other. Catalogue and full particulars mailed on application. Mmmic^xaim BOSTON. NEW YORK. CHICAGO.

(204) " Karl Goldmark was born at Keszthely, in Hungary, on May 18, 1832, and is still living in Vienna. His first instruction on the violin was at the Musikverein in Oedenburg (1843) \ ^ en he studied in Vienna under Jansa, and for a short time under Bohm at the Conservatorium (1847-48). He was, however, for the most part self-taught, especially in composition. In 1853, while living in Buda-Pesth, he devoted much time to studying the scores of Bach, Beethoven, and Schumann by himself. At first he made quite a notable reputation as a violinist ; but, excepting a suite for piano- forte and violin, which he used to play a good deal on concert tours, his compositions were but little noticed until the production of his overture to Sakuntala by the Vienna Philharmonic Society in 1865. This composition soon made the rounds of the musical world, and made him a wide-spread reputation. In 1875 his opera, die Konigin vo?i Saba, set the seal upon his fame ; and he has ever since been regarded as the foremost dramatic com- poser in Germany and Austria. Goldmark is an industrious, but exceedingly careful and self-criticising composer, and has produced comparatively few works. His style is so far individual that it is almost always easily recognizable ; it has traits that remind one at times of Schumann, while it also often suggests the modern French school. Goldmark's richness and gorgeousness of orchestral color- ing have long been famous ; he inclines toward very full scoring,— indeed, " Wagner's first remark, on hearing an act of the Konigin von Saba, was : It is curious to me how heavily these young fellows score nowadays ! " Overture to Sappho," in G-flat major, Op. 44 . Karl Goldmark. This, Goldmark's latest orchestral work, begins with an introduction, Moderato assai, alia breve, in G-flat major (2-2 time).

(206) eight measures are for the harps alone,* broad phrases in strongly swept chords, that have at once something of the character of a choral chant and of a solemn march. Against a soft repetition of the first two phrases of this passage, played by the harps as an accompaniment, a solo oboe then plays a suave melody of a rather pastoral character in 6-4 time, a solo flute continuing the melody over the next two phrases of the original harp passage, ending on the full chord of the tonic, G-flat major.
