4the two upper voices meant to represent one nightingale echoing the other in canon. J.R.M.
6LEONORA OVERTURES, see FIDELIO, ante, p. 33.
8LEONORE, OU L'AMOUR CONJUGAL. An opéra-comique in two acts; words by Bouilly, music by Gaveaux. Produced at the Opéra Comique, Feb. 19, 1798. The book was translated into Italian, composed by Paer, and produced at Dresden, Oct. 3, 1804. It was also translated into German by Jos. Sonnleithner (late in 1804), and composed by Beethoven. The story of the transformations and performances of the opera in its three shapes is given under FIDELIO, ante, p. 33.
10LEONORE1 PROHASKA. A romantic tragedy by Friedrich Duncker, for which Beethoven in the autumn of 1814 composed a soldiers' chorus for men's voices unaccompanied; a romance with harp accompaniment; and a melodram with harmonica, besides scoring the march in his Sonata, op. 26. The melodram has been already printed in this Dictionary (ante, p. 298). The opening-bars of the two others are given by Thayer, Chron. Verzeichniss, No. 187 (see the account in Thayer, iii. 317). The four pieces, as given in the article, have been published by Breitkopfs in the supplemental volume to their complete edition of Beethoven. The march from op. 26 is transposed into B minor, and scored for Flutes, Clarinets in A, Bassoons, two Horns in D and two in E, Drums, Violins 1 and 2, Viola, Violoncello, and Bass. The autograph is in possession of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna. Dr. Sonnleithner—no mean authority—believed that Beethoven had also written an overture and entr'acte for the piece. For some reason or other the play was not performed.
12LEROUX, XAVIER HENRY NAPOLEON, born at Velletri in Italy, Oct. 11, 1863, was a pupil of the Paris Conservatoire, where he gained in 1881 a second accessit for piano, and a first prize for harmony; in 1882, a second prize for counterpoint and an honourable mention for the Prix de Rome; in 1884, a first prize for counterpoint and the second Prix de Rome, and finally in 1885, the Prix de Rome itself with his cantata 'Endymion.' Leroux's dramatic works are 'Cléopâtre,' incidental music to a five-act drama by Sardou and Moreau (Porte Saint-Martin, Oct. 23, 1890); 'Evangeline,' lyric drama in four acts (Brussels, Dec. 1895); incidental music for 'Les Perses' adapted from Aeschylus (Odéon, Nov. 5, 1896); music for 'La Montagne Enchantée' (in collaboration with A. Messager, Porte Saint-Martin, April 12, 1897); 'Astarté,' four-act opera (Paris Opéra, Feb. 15, 1901); 'La Reine Fiammetta' (after Catulle Mendès), in four acts (Opéra Comique, Dec. 23, 1903). Two more operas, 'Le Chemineau' and 'Théodora,' have recently been completed (1905). Apart from the stage, Leroux's works include an overture 'Harald,' given at the Lamoureux Concerts; 'Vénus et Adonis,' lyric scene (Concerts de l'Opéra, 1897); and many songs. He has also written church music, a mass with orchestra, motets, etc. He has filled the post of professor of harmony at the Paris Conservatoire since 1896.

16LESCHETIZKY one of two readings
18LESCHETIZKY, THEODOR, a distinguished pianist, born at Lancut in Austrian Poland, June 22, 1830. He attracted notice in Vienna by his pianoforte playing in 1845. He was for some time a professor at the Conservatorium of St. Petersburg, from which appointment he retired in 1878, since which time he has lived in Vienna. His marriage with his pupil, Mme. Essipoff, took place in 1880, and was dissolved in 1892, and in 1894 he married another pupil. His compositions chiefly consist of morceaux de salon for the piano, but an opera, 'Die erste Falte,' was given with success at Prague in 1867, at Wiesbaden in 1881, and elsewhere. He made his début in England at the Musical Union concerts in 1864, playing in the Schumann Quintet, and solos of his own composition, and has frequently since then appeared at the same concerts. He was the principal master of Paderewski; an account of his method was published as Die Grundlage des Methode Leschetizky by Malwine Brée in 1902. one of two readings
