The opera was presented for the first time on January 31 by the Deutches Nationalstheatre in Weimar.
18BRAILOWSKY IN WARSAW.
19This is an unusually clear picture of the great Chopin monument in Warsaw, where Alexander Brailowsky recently scored a rousing success, both in his recital and his performance of Chopin's E minor concerto with the symphony orchestra. Afterwards he was given a reception by the publishers of Muzyka, Poland's musical monthly, at which all the leading musical lights of Warsaw were present. In the photograph are seen, from left to right: Mateusz Ginski, conductor of the orchestra and editor of the musical review, Muzyka; Alexander Brailowsky; Wacław Szymanowski, sculptor, who made the Chopin memorial in front of which they are standing, and his wife, Mme. Szymanowska.
