    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.

His debut was in Weimar, 1892, as King Henry in Lohengrin and he was soon heard in many of Germany’s leading houses. Covent Garden and the Metropolitan Opera first heard him in 1900 and he sang in New York through 1910 and again the seasons of 1920-22. From 1913 to 1920 he was with Berlin’s Deutsche Opera and he taught in Berlin until his death. Blass made few recordings, these for Victor in 1903 and Edison in 1905. 9165. 2M Wax Edison B-48.

    100 years at 50 west Eleonora De Cisneros At 50 West in 1917 New York Tribune, October 14, 1917 Home – Street – Prehistory – Building – Ads – Residents – Singers – Playlist 100 years at 50 west From obituary, New York Times, February 4, 1934 Mme. Eleanora de Cisneros, grand opera mezzo-soprano, who is recorded in “Who’s Who in Music” as the first American singer to make her debut with the Metropolitan Opera Company without European training…. She is survived by her husband, Count Francois de Cisneros of Havana, who is with the Cuban consular service in Paris…. Mme. De Cisneros was born in Gramercy Park [and] schooled at St. Agnes Seminary, Brooklyn, where he unusual voice was discovered by Francesco Fanciulli, her first teacher…. At the age of 19 Jean de Reszke heard her voice and interested the Metropolitan Opera management in the young singer. As a result, she made her debut at the Metropolitan in 1900 in the role of Lola in “Cavalleria Rusticana,” a performance in which Emma Calve was the Santuzza. She then toured with Mme. Sembrich. …She sang in virtually every great opera house of Europe; was chosen by d’Annunzio to create one of the roles in “La Figlia di Jorio,” and had a tremendous success as Amneris in “Aida,” and as Ortrud in “Lohengrin. She created the role of Clytemnestra in the first Italian performance of Strauss’s “Electra” and the title role in the first Italian performance of Tchaikovsky’s “Pique Dame”….

    THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF COLORATURA TECHNIQUE IN SELECTED ROSSINI ARIAS FOR MEZZO-SOPRANO A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE DOCTOR OF ARTS BY LAUREN E. MASTERS DISSERTATION ADVISOR: DR. MEI ZHONG BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA DECEMBER 2019 THE DEVELOPMENT OF COLORATURA TECHNIQUE IN ROSSINI ARIAS 2 ABSTRACT DISSERTATION: The Development and Implementation of Coloratura Technique in Selected Rossini Arias for Mezzo-Soprano STUDENT: Lauren E. Masters DEGREE: Doctor of Arts COLLEGE: Fine Arts DATE: December 2019 PAGES: 154 The mezzo-soprano arias in Rossini operas have captivated audiences for the last two centuries with their impressive and extensive vocal gymnastics, or coloratura. A strong coloratura technique is necessary for the successful performance of Rossini arias by mezzo- sopranos. This dissertation seeks to establish a systematic method of developing coloratura technique and implementing it in seven Rossini arias. An original correlation is made between coloratura development and the Accent Method. Historical and modern pedagogical resources affirm the practical importance of a systematic technique based on abdicostal breath support for singing, upon which the Accent Method is based. Facets of the Accent Method as previously applied to the singing voice will be applied specifically to the development of coloratura. This method has proven effective in building vocal stamina, pitch accuracy, and speed, among other qualities necessary in coloratura development. Various means of applying this method to the melismatic choices of the mezzo-soprano are then explored, along with multiple interpretations of Rossini arias by current and past performing artists. Examples of appropriate melismas are given, along with a series of technical vocal factors for each mezzo-soprano to consider.
