| RICHARD wAeSER's. CIRCULAR
/, Under date OF jan. i, 1877, Richard Wagner
has issued an address to the Wagner Societies,
whose members he modcstly STYLES the friends
OF his art, which is published in full in the
Htsikatsches 1foeAe'e1att Of Jan. 26. It's subject
matter is plan for propagattng his art through
the medium OF annual festivals in Batreuth sim
liar to last year. After referring to the success
OF last years performances, he states that con-
siderable proht might have reasonably been ex-
pected from further rcpctltions, but that, apart
from the 1mpossibllity OF retaining the per
formers LONGER IN BaIreuth, suel, repettions
would have appealed merely to the paying pub
lie, and thus have been foreign to the object he
has in view. This object is the founding Of .
high school for nlsieo-drnmatie performances:
md rs for the attainment OF this end much
ings FOR practice should take place only In the
presence OF those who sympathize with his aims,
He, therefore, invites the friends of his art (de
FfeH'de tneiaer Kwnst) to unite in au association
Baireuth performances. As a name for
| the association he suggests: Pa-
trm,at- Tereines .,.r I,fege md Ertaltung
der Bueanen testpieie Il. BaireuM,' which name
he says expresses the full scope OF the work
which he asks Of the association. It's duty will
be to purchase for its members 1000 tickets at
100 marks {about S25) each to three series Of
performances vi which shall be given each year: ar

theatre to be free, and to be given to needy mu-
sicidhs and others, as last year; He also appeals
