Struensee, tragedy in five acts and in verse by Michael Beer, was first given, with overture, entr'actes, and incidental music by Meyerbeer (the author's brother), in Berlin on September 19, 1846. The subject of the tragedy is taken from the life of Count Struensee, the Danish physician who became prime minister and died on the scaffold on July 26, 1772, after being thrown out of office by intrigues fomented by the queen Caroline Matilda. The circumstances attending Struensee's death had left painful recollections in the family of Frederick VI., king of Denmark, and the performance of Beer's play (written in 1826) in Copenhagen was postponed by royal command. Beer died in 183 1, before he could see his play pro- duced on the stage. The first performance in Berlin, twenty years later, was given by order of the king of Prussia, who also invited Meyerbeer to write the incidental music. Meyerbeer's music consists of an overture, three entr'actes — I. Der Aufruhr ; II. DerBall; III. Die Dorfschenke — and incidental numbers — a March, a Benediction, and a Polonaise. The March and Polonaise soon became very popular in Germany ; but the overture is the only number, is indeed the only orchestral composition of Meyerbeer's that has held its place in the serious concert repertory. The overture opens with a slow introduction, Andantino religioso quasi allegretto in D-flat major (4-4 time), in which a march-like theme is made, according to Meyerbeer's wont, the subject of successive contrapuntal de- velopments. It is first given out in plain harmony by the harp, flutes, clarinet, bassoon, and one double-bass pizzicato; then fortissimo by a valve- trumpet, horns, trombones, and tuba. An episodic cantilena for the 'celli Horsford's Acid Phosphate. Headache may arise from a disordered state of the stomach, or it may have a ner- vous origin. The Acid Phosphate by its action in promoting digestion, and as a nerve food, tends to prevent and alleviate the headache arising from either cause. Dr. F. A.

Repairer for the Boston Symphony Orchestra (390) follows in the relative C-sharp minor, leading to a return of the march-like theme in the tonic, given piano by the flutes, oboes, clarinets, and horns in harmony, over running counterpoint in even eighth-notes in the bassoons and all the strings pizzicati. An interlude of imitative passage-work on fragments of the theme, between the heavy brass and the wood-wind and harp, leads to another return of the theme in the tonic, pianissimo in the wood-wind, horns, and trombone, over running counterpoint in sixteenth- note triplets in all the strings. A short transitional passage follows, lead- ing over to the main body of the overture. This movement, Allegro appassionato in C minor (6-8 time), begins piano with its first theme given out by the strings, and developed in crescendo climax by fuller and fuller orchestra, leading to a fortissimo restatement and fuller development of the theme by the entire orchestra with the melody in the bass. The cantabile second theme follows in the relative E-flat major, sung by the violins and various wooden wind instruments against an obstinate contrapuntal figure in the bassoons and 'celli. The development of this theme is extended, leading at length to some fortissimo developments in imitative passage-work on the first theme. Next comes an episodic return of the march-like theme of the introduction in B major, Andantino quasi allegretto, intermingled with figures from the first theme of the Allegro. This is followed by an imitative, quasi-fugal working-out of the first theme, Un pochettino pin mosso, interspersed with fragments of the theme of the introduction, the development going on stringendo poco a poco until the original Allegro appassionato is reached again.

  • Giacomo Meyerbeer (Geb
    Giacomo Meyerbeer (geb. Vogelsdorf oder Tasdorf bei Berlin, 5. September 1791 — gest. Paris, 2. Mai 1864) March celebrating the Centennial of the Birth of Schiller 1859 The name of the great German writer Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805) is often heard in connection to music, and for his many poems that have been set to music by a myriad of composers. Foremost among them, Beethoven, who uses Schiller’s Ode to Joy (Ode an die Freude) for the rousing finale of the Choral Symphony. But Schiller was also a dramatist of the first order, whose works for the stage, extremely popular throughout Europe, were to inspire prominent opera composers. And here Giuseppe Verdi’s name leaps to mind, considering that no fewer than five of the latter’s works for the musical stage are based, in whole or in part, on plays by Schiller, including I Masnadieri (after Die Räuber), Luisa Miller (after Kabale und Liebe), Giovanna d’Arco (after Die Jungfrau from Orléans), and, of course, Don Carlos. In addition, much of Act III, scene 3 from La Forza del Destino is closely patterned on scenes and bits of dialogue drawn from Wallenstein’s Camp (Wallenstein’s Lager, Part I of the Wallenstein Trilogy.) (Other major “Schillerian” operas by important 19th century composers include Rossini’s Guillaume Tell, and Donizetti’s Maria Stuarda.) With hindsight, the circumstances of the composition of the Schillemarsch may appear a bit unusual, but only because one tends to forget that, in the decades preceding the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871, relations between the French Empire and the German States, and their respective cultural and intellectual elites, were generally excellent.

His compositional output is prolific and includes string quartets, operas, symphonies, concerti, solo pieces, songs, and religious works. Indeed, Scontrino was a compelling composer who deserves more attention from the international musical community. In addition to his compositional expertise, he was an artful double bass performer whose works for the instrument, while distinctly idiomatic, are compositions of high quality.

    Domenico Carboni: GRIEG AND SGAMBATI IN ROME SGAMBATI NO LONGER LIVES HERE Giovanni Sgambati no longer lives at 93 Piazza di Spagna. He was evicted from his flat where, as can be seen from the memorial plaque affixed by the R. Accademia Filarmonica Romana, "he lived far thirty- seven years and died on 14 December 1914". It is true that his bodily remains left the house at the date inscribed on the plaque, but the engraved dates make it appear that the maestro had lived there uninterruptedly until his death. His daughter-in-law Giuseppina, the sole surviving descendant, had religiously kept everything as if her father were still alive: his pencils and glasses lay on the desk, while on a shelf were his conductor's batons. One of these, made out of ebony, had a silver handle on which was engraved "Liszt to Giovanni Sgambati, director of the Dante Symphony". In a display case a visiting card from Johannes Brahms lay propped up against a coffee cup, and in the centre of the salon, pride of place was given to Liszt's favourite chair. Giuseppina never failed to show the few privileged visitors of her private museum the score of Die Walküre, with its corrections in Wagner's own hand, far the great composer, having noticed this edition lying on a shelf, informed Sgambati that it contained a number of typographical errors, asked for a pencil and proceeded to correct the score. Even if it was no more than four semibreves, they were after all written by the composer of the Ring.
