MASSENET'S YOUTH,
The Beginning OF an Evsntful Musical
Career.


Career.
In the Century for November the COM
poser of "Esclarmonde" thus relates the
beginnings OF his musical career: "My
father was a superior officer under the
first empire. When the Bpurbous were re-
stored he sent in his resignation. As he
had been distinguished pupil OF the Poly
technic school he devoted himself to manu-
features and started important iron works
near St. Etienne, Loire. He thus became an
ironmaster, and was the inventor OF those
huge hammers which. crushing steel with
extraordinary power, by single blow
change bars of metal into sickles and
scythes. So it was that. 10 the sound of
heavy hammers of brass, as the ancient poet
says, was born.
"My first steps in my future career were
no more mei0dious. Six years later, my
family then living in Paris, one day found
myself in front of an old piano, and either
To amuse me or TO try my talent my mother
gave me my first music lesson. 1t was the
oath Of February, lS4S, a strangely CHOSEN
moment, Tor our lesson was interrupted by
the noise OF street-firing that lasted for sew
eral hours. The revolution had burst forth
and people were killing one another in the
streets.
Three years later had become-or my

come-a clever enough little pianist I was
presented for admission to the piano classes
at the Imperial Conservatory of Music and
