ARSC Journal
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. -

Il Trittico Pucciniano
GIACOMO PUCCINI IL TRITTICO PUCCINIANO Il trittico viene rappresentato per la prima volta al Teatro Metropolitan di New York il 14 dicembre 1918. Il tabarro - Luigi Montesanto (Michele); Giulio Crimi (Luigi), Claudia Muzio (Giorgetta); Suor Angelica - Geraldine Farrar (Suor Angelica), Flora Perini (Zia Principessa); Gianni Schicchi - Giuseppe de Luca (Gianni Schicchi), Florence Easton (Lauretta), Giulio Crimi (Rinuccio); direttore d'orchestra Roberto Moranzoni. La prima italiana ha luogo, meno d'un mese dopo, al Teatro Costanzi (odierno Teatro dell'opera di Roma) l'undici gennaio 1919, sotto la prestigiosa direzione di Gino Marinuzzi, fra gli interpreti principali: Gilda dalla Rizza, Carlo Galeffi, Edoardo de Giovanni, Maria Labia, Matilde Bianca Sadun. L'idea d'un "Trittico" - inizialmente Puccini aveva pensato a tre soggetti tratti dalla Commedia dantesca, poi a tre racconti di autori diversi - si fa strada nella mente del Maestro almeno un decennio prima, già a partire dal 1905, subito a ridosso di Madama Butterfly. Tuttavia, sia questo progetto sia quello d'una "fantomatica" Maria Antonietta (che, come si sa, non fu mai realizzata) vengono per il momento accantonati in favore della Fanciulla del West (1910). La fantasia pucciniana è rivisitata dall'immagine d'un possibile "trittico" nel 1913, proprio mentre proseguono - gli incontri con Gabriele D'Annunzio per una possibile Crociata dei fanciulli...... Infatti, proprio nel febbraio di quello stesso anno Puccini è ripreso dall'urgenza del "trittico": immediatamente avvia il lavoro sul primo dei libretti che viene tratto da La Houppelande, un atto unico, piuttosto grandguignolesco, di Didier Gold, cui il compositore aveva assistito, pochi mesi prima, in un teatro parigino: sarà Il tabarro, abilmente ridotto a libretto da Giuseppe Adami. -
Karel Burian and Hungary Research Director: Anna Dalos Phd Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music Doctoral School No
DLA Theses Ferenc János Szabó Karel Burian and Hungary Research director: Anna Dalos PhD Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music Doctoral School No. 28 for the History of Art and Culture Budapest 2011 I. Antecedents of the research Karel Burian was one of the best tenors of the first two decades of the twentieth century. The authors of his biographies always mention his Wagner roles – mainly Tristan – and his long presence in New York, and primarily the world premiere of Salome by Richard Strauss, when he played the role of Herod to much acclaim. His reputation and popularity might be measured against those of Enrico Caruso. Burian was first engaged in Budapest as a young but already well- known Wagner-tenor, he worked there for one year as a member of the Opera House, then later as guest singer regularly until his death. He was likely the most influential operatic world star in Budapest at the beginning of the twentieth century, and was the founder and for many years the only intended representative of the Heldentenor role in Hungary. He primarily sang Wagner operas, but there was also a Hungarian opera on his repertoire in Budapest. A study of his activities in Hungary contributes to our knowledge of Hungarian opera life, and Burian’s whole career affected the cultural history of the period because of his frequent guest appearances in Budapest. Burian’s Budapest activity had a great influence on the young composers of that time, most notably on Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály as well. There is a relatively large amount of literature about Burian, mostly in Czech, English and German. -
