The strongest impressions of the concert season are linked w^ith Baldwintone, exquisitely exploited by pianists eminent in their art. Schnitzer, Pugno, Scharwenka, Bachaus — De Pachmann! More than chance attracts the finely-gifted amateur to this keyboard. Among people who love good music, w^ho have a culti- vated know^ledge of it, and v/ho seek the best medium for producing it, the Baldwin is chief. In such an atmosphere it is as happily "at home" as are the Preludes of Chopin, the Liszt Rhapsodies upon a virtuoso's programme.

The life of Gotz was short and full of misery. He left the university at Konigsberg when he was seventeen, to study music. His first teacher was Louis Kohler, the man of the famous exercises; but in i860 he went to Stem's Conser\^atory at Berlin, and was taught by Stern, von Bulow, and Ulrich. In 1863 he succeeded Theodor Kirchner as organist at Winterthur; but he moved to Zurich in 1867, and on account of his health resigned the position at Winterthur, and lived, or tried to Hve, from his compositions. In Zurich he gave lessons and was willing from necessity to do any hack work, as Wagner in Paris, and as Bizet when he returned from Rome. He first became known as the composer of the opera, "Der Wider- spenstigen Zahmung" ("The Taming of the Shrew"), which was first performed at Mannheim, October 11, 1874. This opera was performed for the first time in America on the first night of the American Opera Company, Theodore Thomas conductor, New York, January 4, 1886. The cast was as follows: Baptista, W. H. Hamilton; Katharine, Pauline L'Allemande; Bianca, Kate Bensberg; Hortensio, Alonzo E. Stoddard; Lucentio, W. H. Fessenden; Petruchio, W. H. Lee; Grumio, E. J. O'Mahony; a Tailor, John Howson.

SCHMIDT Boston, Mass.. 120 Boylston Street For Sale by all Music Dealers 1431 — — Gotz wrote the book and the music of another opera, "Francesca da Rimini," but he died before he had completed the orchestration. Ernst Frank completed the opera, which was produced at Mannheim in 1877. The Symphony in F is dedicated to this Frank, a distinguished conductor and also a composer (1847-89), who died mad. The Signale of 1867 spoke of a new symphony by Gotz, a "symphony in E minor," which was performed at Basle, March 3 of that year, with great success. Was there ever such a symphony? Nothing is known, apparently, about it to-day, and biographers do not mention it.* The list of Gotz's works includes the Symphony in F, which was first played, they say, at Zurich (December, 1869); Schiller's "Nanie," for chorus and orchestra ; overture, "Spring"; concerto for violin ; concerto for pianoforte; Psalm cxxxvii. for soprano solo, chorus, and orchestra; pianoforte quintet in C minor with double-bass; pianoforte sonata for four hands; quartet; pianoforte trio; pianoforte pieces; two volumes of songs; "Es liegt so abendstill der See," for tenor solo, male chorus, and orchestra. The Symphony in F, which was first played in Boston at a concert of the Harvard Musical Association, January 15, 1880, bears a motto taken from Schiller's "Traum und Gesang": "In des Herzen's heilig stille Raume Musst du fliehen aus des Lebens Drang!" which has been lamely Englished in several ways. The following is, perhaps, as stiff as any : "To the peaceful heart's OAvn chamber lonely Must thou fly from life's turmoil and strife." "In the heart's still chambers is the refuge from the stress of strife" is the version of another. Some have wondered why Gotz took these lines as a motto.

En este proceso entre Piacenza y Parma, que deleita a la nación con música fueron desechados un libreto que Eugène Scribe había escrito italiana, eternamente amado por su pueblo.
