1technical side, and insists that they shall come to him fully equipped in that respect. Thus, several artists of distinction have worked with him and gained ideas in connection with interpretation. When he retires in August to his summer residence at Godinnes on the Meuse, he is followed every year by a contingent of students to whom he gives lessons and talks music in the intervals of fishing and other excursions. By violinists of the younger generation, who are carried away by his temperamental qualities, he is regarded with a sentiment little short of worship.
3He has played successively upon a J. B. Guadagnini violin, a Stradivari of large dimensions and late date, and an exceptionally fine J. Guarneri del Gesù, which has been for some years past his solo instrument, the Stradivari being kept in reserve for contingencies. The latter, unfortunately, he no longer possesses, as it was stolen from the artists' room of a concert-hall in St. Petersburg in 1908. He is the owner, it may be added, of a fine collection of French violins.
5He has composed many concertos for violin, which remain in MS., and has published some smaller pieces for violin solo, including 3 mazurkas, op. 11, and a 'Poème élégiaque.'

12His brother, Théophile, born at Verviers in 1865, studied at the Conservatoire of Liège, at Berlin under Kullak, and in Paris with César Franck. He attained considerable skill as a pianist, and made a successful first appearance in London at a concert of his brother's in the spring of 1896. His compositions include a 'Suite Wallonne,' a concerto for piano, a symphonic poem, a fantasia, etc., and a symphony (No. 1) in F minor, first performed at Brussels in Nov. 1904, was played in London at one of the concerts organised in June 1905 for the Ostend Kursaal band.
14YUSUPOV, NICOLAI BORISOVICH (PRINCE), (also Youssoupooff, Jusupof, Joussoupow, etc.). A Russian musical dilettante, born in St. Petersburg in 1827. He studied the violin with Vieuxtemps, and maintained an orchestra in his palace. He was the author of the monograph on the violin entitled Luthomonographie historique et raisonnée (first edition, Frankfort-on-Main, 1856 (printed at Munich); fifth edition, Paris, Bonhoure, n. d.), a well-meaning, but faulty essay, dedicated to de Bériot, illustrated with full-sized drawings of instruments, which are, perhaps, the most valuable part of the work. He also projected a work entitled Histoire de la Musique et de son avenir en Russie, of which the first part, Musique sacrée suivi d'un choix de morceaux de chant d'Eglise (Paris, 1862), alone appeared. As a composer he is known as the writer of a violin concerto, and a programme symphony with a violin solo entitled 'Gonzalvo de Cordova.' In 1863 he published a systematic catalogue of the books contained in the Imperial Library, St. Petersburg. His Analyse comparée des compositions des Violinistes contemporains, announced for publication in 1856, never appeared. De Bériot wrote a set of six violin duets on motifs taken from Prince Yusupov's Ballet d'Espagne. The title-page of the later editions of his Luthomonographie announces him as Maitre compositeur de la Société Philharmonique de Bologne, et Membre honoraire de l'Académie Philharmonique de St. Cécile à Rome. He died at Baden-Baden, August 3, 1891. (Riemann, Dict. of Mus.; Fétis, Biog. des Mus.)
