233Interesting features of the violinists' convention in June will be the contest of violins and the public performance of original compositions. It is desired by the guild that contesting violin makers and composers communicate at once with Victor Lichtenstein, Musical Art Building, St. Louis. Composers may submit works in the following forms: Sonatas, trios, quartets and quintets. The compositions most likely to have a hearing are those distinguished for their purely American style and content. The Guild of Violinists is an outgrowth of the new nationalism which is making itself felt in America. One of the purposes of the guild is to bring to view and foster originality in American music.

236Notes from the Emerich Studio.
238Helena Forti, the operatic and chamber music singer, of Dresden, a pupil of Teresa Emerich, recently sang the part of Brünnhilde in "Siegfried" with such overwhelming success that at the close of the opera the entire orchestra arose and joined in the furore of applause with which the audience greeted their favorite. Siegfried Wagner immediately engaged the artist for the next Bayreuth performances, where she will be heard as Kundry and Sieglinde.
240Margarete Sylva, who, acting on the advice of her teacher, Maestro Emerich, has spent the past season touring in Germany and Austria in operatic guest performances, has been rewarded not only with the highest honors but also with the most satisfactory financial success. At her second guest performance in Schwerin, where she sang Santuzza and Nedda, she was summoned to the loge of the Grand Duke and presented with a gold medal, which was accompanied by enthusiastic praise.
