(Born at Zwickau, Saxony, on June 8, iSio; died at Endenich, near Bonn, on July 29, 1856.) This overture was written in 185 1, and first given at a festival at at in Diisseldorf on August 3, 1852 ; it was given the Gewandhaus Leipzig on January 17, 1853, and by the Philharmonic Society in New York in the season of 1871^72. It was first given in Boston at a concert of the Harvard Musical Association on November 18, 1880. The overture begins, without introduction, Krdftig, getnessen in, F minor (4-4 time). The stately first theme is given out and developed by the full orchestra, making way after a while for a more nervous subsidiary in the same key. The tempo then becomes a thought more rapid, as the first theme returns in the horns, but this time as a sort of thesis to the second theme, in D-flat major. This new development merges into the working-out, or free fantasia, which is carried through with great energy, if not at great length. The return of the first theme in the original tempo in the tonic marks the beginning of the recapitulation, which is cA Tonic and Nerve Food Horsford's Acid Phosphate.

After the Franco-Prussian war his family moved to Tourcoing, where he entered the town music school as a pupil of Stappan. He next entered the Conservatoire at Lille, where he advanced so rapidly that the municipality of Tourcoing gave him a pension of 1200 francs to complete his studies in Paris. At the Conservatoire he entered the violin class of Massart in 188 1, and studied harmony under Pessard. His studies were interrupted by military duty; but on his return, in 1885, he studied under Massenet. He took the Grand Prix de Rome in 1887. Among his envois de Rome was the suite played at this concert. After his return to Paris he settled in the Montmartre district of that city, the daily Easter Songs. New Piano Studies. *Bailey, E. H.

I have played and used in concert almost every piano of note both in Europe and America, and after this varied experience must say that for grandeur, volume, and quality of tone, as well as thorough finish in all details, your piano stands unequalled. It is sensitive to the most delicate shadings of touch, and stands the test of almost orchestral effects. The success which your pianos are meeting with every- where in concert must be highly gratifying to you, and you have my best wishes. Very sincerely yours, LOUIS MAAS.

  • Forgotten Splendour
    FORGOTTEN SPLENDOUR A Chronology of the North Shore Music Festival 1909 to 1939 by Andrew Cottonaro Beginning in 1909 and lasting until 1939, the North Shore Music Festival of Northwestern University was a significant musical and social event in the Chicago area. For a few days each Spring, the campus hosted a diverse body of performers in a series of grand concerts. Naturally, some of that era’s most eminent singers could be heard there. Their presence certainly helped to sell tickets and their artistry helped to sustain the festival as a popular and critical success. Now, sixty years later, the festival hardly even counts as a faded memory. To date, two books (in part), offer a general outline of the festival’s history, but both lack any detailed analysis of who appeared and what was actually sung. This is the first attempt to present a chronology of the vocal offerings (quite distinct from the orchestral offerings) at the festival. Northwestern University, the official sponsor of the festival, is located in Evanston, Illinois (USA). The town is a suburb of Chicago, directly north of the city and on the banks of Lake Michigan. Because of this geographic position, Evanston and the other cities of the area are called the North Shore, hence the origin of the festival’s name. Northwestern University was incorporated in 1850 and gradually won recognition for its academic excellence. The establishment of musical studies, however, was a tangled web of many failed efforts. In a final and desperate attempt to salvage musical education, the university’s board of trustees in 1891 appointed Peter Christian Lutkin (1858-1931) to direct musical studies, a post that he held until his death.

  • Opera in English: Class and Culture in America, 1878–1910
    OPERA IN ENGLISH: CLASS AND CULTURE IN AMERICA, 1878–1910 Kristen M. Turner A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Annegret Fauser Mark Evan Bonds John Nádas Katherine K. Preston Philip Vandermeer ©2015 Kristen M. Turner ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Kristen M. Turner: Opera in English: Class and Culture in America, 1878–1910 (Under the direction of Annegret Fauser) European grand opera performed in English translation was a potent cultural force in the United States at the end of the long nineteenth century. Analysis of business correspondence, theater records, advertisements, reviews, and social commentaries, reveals that rhetoric about opera engaged with issues of class, race, gender, and nationalism. Critics identified foreign-language grand opera as a high art, suitable primarily for the upper class and educated listeners. In contrast, writers viewed the same operas sung in English as entertainment for a middle-class audience who wished to enjoy opera in the vernacular performed by American singers. Southern small towns, such as Raleigh, North Carolina, used English-language opera and art music to reinforce racial boundaries and to project a civic identity as a refined, middle-class city. The African American community, as a result of segregation and oppression, had different conceptions about art, class, and culture than the white majority. African American writers framed English-language performances by the all-black Theodore Drury Grand Opera Company as a way to resist racial tyranny by emphasizing the skill of the troupe’s singers and the sophistication of its educated black audience.

  • 02 – Spinning the Record
    I: THE EARLY YEARS What on earth were they fighting over? To read the early history of recording, you would think that these people were arguing over shares of Microsoft stock or territory in the Middle East. These pioneers, some of whom really did have good intentions, were soon caught up in imbroglios, lawsuits and just plain nasty arguments that could make your head spin. It’s also rather hard to disentangle the vari- ous threads nowadays because, like all real history, none of it happened in a neat, linear fash- ion, but all jumbled together, lines drawn in the sand spilling all over each other as the tides of music fashions and different musical agendas rushed in from an ocean of public consumers. Reduced to essentials, it all seems so neat: Thomas Edison invents first practical phono- graph in 1877, sets it aside for 12 years and doesn’t bother to market or develop it as he turns his attentions to other matters (specifically electric light); other inventors pick up the thread around 1889, ten years later the flat disc begins to make significant inroads on the cylinder, by 1913 Edison throws in the towel and starts making flat discs of his own, in 1925 electrical re- cording replaces the old acoustical method, by which time radio is making significant inroads on the record industry itself. By 1930, thanks to the overwhelming popularity of radio and the Depression, the record industry is floundering; new techniques and marketing ideas help keep it afloat through the Depression and War years, then it blossoms in a Renaissance of long-play albums, stereo sound and a seemingly unlimited market.

THE MAPLESON CYLINDER PROJECT at the Rodgers and Hammerstein Archives of Recorded Sound New York Public Library A Preliminary Report by David Hall - Curator Rodgers and Hammerstein Archives of Recorded Sound Some fifteen years ago this writer, soon after assuming charge of the Rodgers and Hammerstein Archives of Recorded Sound, made a resolve to provide aural access to all of the contents that might be salvageable from the 120 items in original wax cylinder or lacquer disc transfer for­ mat held at the Archives as the Lionel Mapleson Collection, these docu­ menting in 2-minute segments actual stage performances at the Metropoli­ tan Opera during the seasons 1900-01, 1901-02, 1902-03. The basic job was finally completed on June 22, 1981 after 16 intensive working sessions with Archives sound engineer Tom Owen. The history preceding this accom­ plishment is outlined in the accompanying Provisional Mapleson Cylinder Chronology -- "Provisional" because even as we write these lines, new information is coming to light as regards history and provenance -- and even as regards aural data: for example, verification that one of the cylinders offers an episode from Ignace Jan Paderewski's opera, Manru, on the occasion of its first American performances in February of 1902.
