1main his chief work Marchetti received his musical education at the Conservatory of Naples.
3The Teatro Lirico Internazionale reopens with "Pagliacci" and the "Cavalleria Rusticana," to be followed during the season, which will be a short but interesting one, with "Mignon" (Thomas), "Manon" (Massenet) and a new opera in one act named "Wanda," by Rodolfo Conti, besides the pantomime "Il figlinol prodigo," with music by Wormser. A new conductor at this theatre will be Sig. G. Boccalari.
5On the occasion of the visit of the Emperor and the Empress of Germany to Venice, during the month of October, 1898, I wrote THE MUSICAL COURIER a description of the imperial yacht Hohenzollern, as also concerning the military band on board, under the leadership of Herr E. Pott. I understand now that this same music band is to cross the Atlantic in the Hohenzollern, to take part in or to be present at least at the ceremony of launching the new yacht now building in the United States for his Majesty the Emperor Wilhelm, and which is to be christened by Miss Alice Roosevelt, the accomplished daughter of the illustrious President of the United States.
7You will then have an opportunity of judging for yourselves by seeing the yacht and hearing the band.
9This courteous and most gracious act on the part of the Kaiser in selecting the daughter of the President of the United States to name his Majesty's new yacht is one of exquisite taste, of excellent tact and far reaching diplomacy. It is a splendid move in the direction of harmony, full of pleasing progressions, and will have a sustaining, conciliatory effect, con amore, leading to and ending in a satisfactory finale agreeable to both nations.
11The Kaiser at the same time has composed and furnished an International Theme, to which the world's writers in the press of all nations are contributing the variations.
13What a "Kommers" the New York Liederkranz and other societies will arrange to welcome their German musical brethren! The imaginary sight and sound of which, with the innumerable "Salamander" and the musical (?) "Hoch soll Er leben" make me dizzy so that I can write no more.

17PARIS, JANUARY 16, 1902.
19THE appearance of Moriz Rosenthal at the last Lamoureux concert was the musical event of the past week. I cannot tell if Rosenthal has played in Paris since his début as a child prodigy at the Salle Pleyel over twenty years ago. At all events, his name conveyed nothing to the public, as inquiries were heard on all sides as to who he was, and from whence he hailed. Curiosity was very great on the part of the public to hear the Viennese pianist, he having been remarkably well heralded beforehand. The walls of Paris covered by posters bearing the legend "Moriz Rosenthal se fera entendre au Concert Lamoureux" (Rosenthal will be heard at the Lamoureux concert), reminded one of the earlier appearances of Paganini, who, it is said, was always preceded, in the towns where he was to play, by notices proclaiming, "Paganini fera entendre son violon."
21Rosenthal achieved a great and well merited success before a very large and most critical audience. The marvelous courage and fire of his playing, the absolute surety of his technic, his individuality, all appealed greatly to the audience in his original interpretation of Liszt's Concerto in E flat. He was recalled again and again, the audience insisting on an encore, which was granted. Rosenthal is giving several recitals here, and he will be heard in all the great composers for the piano. The splendid instrument used—Steinway—of great power and beauty of tone, lent itself to effects impossible of realization on a less perfect instrument.
23A second hearing was given at the same concert of the first act of "Tristan and Isolde," with the same interpreters as on the previous Sunday. If Wagner's works were unknown in their original form, as he intended them to be given, and if excerpts from them, performed at concerts, were their only means of being heard, I could understand the reason for our symphonic conductors placing them on their concert programs. As these reasons do not, however, exist, since ample opportunities obtain for hearing the music dramas in the theatres it must be sheer obstinacy that prompts their continued presentment in this form. Or, can it be a Machiavellian plot on the part of conductors to disgust the public with these works, seeing that everything is against their proper comprehension when presented under such distinctly unfavorable surroundings? The Overture to "Egmont," by Beethoven, and the "Danse Macabre," by Saint-Saëns, two widely different compositions, preceded the first act of "Tristan."
