PUBLISHED BY C. A. ELLIS, MANAGER. (161) A Remarkable Piano. The Mason & Hamlin Piano is constructed in one particular dif- ferently from any other : the strings are held by screws, not by pins. As a result, the Mason & Hamlin Piano does not require one-quarter as much tuning as any other piano made. This fact has been demonstrated by actual test, and verified by mechanics, tuners, and private individuals. Piano tuning costs money. It costs only one-fourth as much to keep a Mason & Hamlin Piano in tune as it does to keep any other in tune. Consequently the expense of keeping a Mason & Hamlin Piano is reduced to one-fourth that of any other. Catalogue and full particulars mailed on application. n%m BOSTON. NEW YORK. CHICAGO.

(164) Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in Salzburg on January 27, 1756, and died there on December 5, 1791. He was christened Joannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus ; in signing earlier letters, he used to add his confirmation name, Sigismundus; his father used to translate Theophilus by Gottlieb. Mozart's first works, and those published in Paris in 1764, were signed J. G. Wolfgang; afterwards Wolfgang Amade. In his family he was always called Wolfgang. His father, Johann Georg Leopold Mozart, was a violinist and church composer, at one time Vizekapellmeister in the private orchestra of the Prince Bishop of Salzburg. He was a thorough musician, and gave his son one of the finest and most solid musical educations ever enjoyed by a composer of genius. The boy was one of the most astounding instances of musical precocity on record ; he began his pianoforte lessons at the age of three, and began to compose and take lessons on the violin soon after. From 1762 to 1769 — that is, from the age of six to thirteen — he and his sister Marianne led the life of child prodigies ; it is noteworthy, however, that Wolfgang was known, almost from the beginning, quite as much as a composer as he was as a pianist. Their father took them on their first professional tour (January, 1762, to January, 1763) to Munich, Linz, Vienna, and Pressburg; on the second (June 9, 1763, to November, 1766) to Munich, Augsburg, Schwetzingen, Mainz, Frankfort a. M., Coblentz, Aix-la- Chapelle, Brussels, Paris, London, Bourne, and back through the Hague, Amsterdam, Ghent, Haarlem, Mechlin, Paris, Lyons, Geneva, Lausanne, Berne, Zurich, Schaffhausen, Donaueschingen, and Biberach. The success of this tour was enormous, and at some of the concerts the programme was made up wholly of compositions by Wolfgang. On his return to Salzburg his father put him through Fux's Gradus ad Parnassum. In January, 1768, Wolfgang was taken to Vienna, where he was commis- sioned to write his first opera, la finta Semplice, which was, however, not performed ; but a smaller Singspiel by him, Bastien und Bastie?i?ie, was FOR BRAIN-WORKERS, THE WEAK AND DEBILITATED. Horsford's Acid Phosphate Is, without exception, the Best Remedy for relieving Mental and Nervous Exhaustion ; and, where the system has become debilitated by disease, it acts as a general tonic and vitalizer, affording sustenance to both brain and body. Dr. E. Cornell Easten, Philadelphia, Pa., says, "I have met with the greatest and most satisfactory results in dyspepsia and general derangement of the cerebral and nervous systems, causing debility and exhaustion."

His period of child-wonder- hood may now be considered as over, young as he was ; he was already recognized as a composer! In December, 1769, he set out with his father on his famous triumphal progress through Italy.

  • Le Cheval De Bronze De Daniel Auber
    GALERÍA DE RAREZAS Le cheval de bronze de Daniel Auber por Ricardo Marcos oy exploraremos una sala encantadora, generosamente iluminada, con grandes mesas en donde podemos degustar algunos de los chocolates franceses más sofisticados y deliciosos, de esta galería de rarezas operísticas. El compositor en cuestión gozó de la gloria operística y fue el segundo director en la historia del Conservatorio de París. Su Hmusa es ligera e irresistible, si bien una de sus grandes creaciones es una obra dramática. Durante la década de 1820 París se convirtió en el centro del mundo musical gracias en gran medida a tres casas de ópera emblemáticas; La Opéra de Paris, la Opéra Comique y el Thêatre Italien. Daniel Auber, quien había estudiado con Luigi Cherubini, se convirtió en el gran señor de la ópera cómica y habría de ser modelo para compositores como Adolphe Adam, Francois Bazin y Victor Masse, entre otros. Dotado desde pequeño para la música, Auber había aprendido a tocar violín y el piano pero fue hasta 1811 en que perfeccionó sus estudios musicales y se dedicó de tiempo completo a la composición. Entre sus mejores obras dentro del campo de la ópera cómica se encuentran joyas como Fra Diavolo y Le domino noir; sin embargo, hay una obra más para completar un trío de obras maestras que, junto con las grandes óperas La muette de Portici, Haydée y Gustave III, conforman lo mejor de su producción. Estrenada el 23 de marzo de 1835, con un libreto de Eugène Scribe, el sempiterno libretista francés de la primera mitad del siglo XIX, El caballo de bronce es una obra deliciosa por la vitalidad de sus duetos, ensambles y la gracia de sus arias, muchas de ellas demandantes; con dos roles brillantes para soprano, uno para tenor, uno para barítono y uno para bajo.

  • Encore Un De Ces Aimables Chefs-D'œuvre Dont MM. Scribe Et Auber
    REVUE DES DEUX MONDES , 1st April 1844, pp. 172-184. Encore un de ces aimables chefs-d’œuvre dont MM. Scribe et Auber possèdent seuls le secret. Une fois par an, ces deux imaginations charmantes se réunissent ; ces deux talens si ingénieux, si français, si merveilleusement faits pour se comprendre, mettent en commun leurs richesses et livrent sur la scène de l’Opéra-Comique une de ces batailles dont on sort toujours en vainqueur, quand on a, d’une part, de l’esprit et de l’habileté dramatique, de l’autre, un tact musical, une verve, un goût, en un mot cent recettes mélodieuses dont le fonds semble ne pas devoir s’épuiser. Long-temps on eut pour coryphée M me Damoreau [Cinti-Damoreau], l’ensemble atteignit alors son plus haut point, et donna pour résultat l’Ambassadrice , Actéon , le Domino noir , Zanetta , toute sorte de délicieuses fantaisies spirituellement imaginées, où la musique intervient avec grace, où la mot et le motif se combinent pour le succès. Cependant le groupe aimé se désunit : M me Damoreau [Cinti- Damoreau], cédant à je ne sais quelle fièvre un peu tardive de locomotion, partit, abandonnant le jeu si bien tenu à trois depuis des années ; sur quoi plus d’un s’émut dans le public. De l’émotion on en vint aux inquiétudes ; on se disait : M. Auber va désormais se taire ; privé de la cantatrice à laquelle il avait attaché la fortune de ses chefs-d’œuvre, de la virtuose affectionnée qu’il avait voulu suivre dans sa migration de l‘Académie royale de Musique à Favart, le compositeur français par excellence cessera d’écrire.

Henry Prunières, directeur de la revue et signataire de cette introduction, y stigmatisait le mépris qu'engendrait la notion d'opéra-comique parmi un public wagnérien, debussyste ou stravinskien. Où en sommes-nous, 70 ans plus tard ? Comme ce numéro vénérable, le dossier que vous allez lire se propose de faire le tour du genre, de son éclosion au XVIIIe siècle à son déclin fin du siècle suivant, et en tournant les projecteurs sur les acteurs principaux : Grétry, Boieldieu, Hérold, Adam et Auber. Qu'est-ce que l'opéra-comique ? Né des vaudevilles donnés sur les tréteaux des foires parisiennes, il devint "comédie mêlée d'ariettes", définissant ainsi immédiatement sa singularité formelle, à savoir l'alternance du parlé et du chanté.

Chair: Ketty Wong Roberta Freund Schwartz Paul Laird Alan Street Svetlana Vassileva-Karagyozova Date Defended: April 8, 2019 ii The dissertation committee for Amelia Davidson certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Reclaiming a Golden Past: Musical Institutions and Czech Identity in Nineteenth-Century Prague Chair: Ketty Wong Date Approved: iii Abstract This dissertation explores the relationship between nineteenth-century musical activity in the Czech lands and Czech identity. The objectives of this study are to examine the history of significant musical institutions and organizations established during the nineteenth century, to analyze performance repertories for these entities, and to explore how the activities of these institutions are related to other components of Czech identity. I begin by investigating significant Czech identity markers that existed prior to the nineteenth century. These include a sense of cosmopolitanism established during the reigns of the Holy Roman Emperors Charles I and Rudolf II, a priority on religious reform and tolerance linked to the Hussite period, and a sense of cultural deprivation stemming from the conclusion of the Thirty Years’ War and the Counter- Reformation period. These foundational elements of Czech cultural identity provided the framework for the national revival of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, which was based in Enlightenment ideals, and for the nationalist movement of the mid-nineteenth century.

Like all good composers of the French school, Auber stands out for the elegant clarity of his harmonization, an abundance of delightful and rhythmically striking melodies, sensible moderation in the use of outward effects, and for his beautiful instrumentation. What you cannot expect to find in Auber, though, are passionateness, moments of tempestuous yearning and powerful inspiration. In his works he appears before us as the same smart, cheerful, intelligent and well-bred Frenchman that he was in real life. —Peter Illych Tchaikovsky, 1872 TABLE OF CONTENTS List of Illustrations ....................................................................................
