ard Mini are saying a sad forewei IN
'adagfo sostenuto" TO each other, Marcero
and Musette are Seeding and cuarreling
hotly In a fast tempo. The acccmpani-
ment - rich fl color, yet so daintily and
superbIy Ia the writing done that the ef-
feet is effective aud charming. As the
notes OF the final duo between Mimi and
Rudolfo die away. the curtain falls on an
empty stage.
The last scene divides itself into two
parts. The first IL all gay. vivacious.
rhythmic: the last, the death OF Mimi, Is
inef1ab.y sad and moving. It Ia In this
: part that Puccini shows his greatest ee1ti-
nent and most exquisite art The con-
srast between gaiety and sorrow is well
worked up. AS the toility OF the dancing
Eclemians Is arrested by the sudden en-
trance OF Musette, the dying Mimi IS
seen crouching on the floor. The music
changes It's tone 10 one OF tender sorrow.
and 10 the end OF the act. the writing is in
superb sympathy with the incidents Of one
OF the most powerful death scenes known
to grand opera.
Puccini cannot be looked on as an epoch
maker. there is no strict originality. but
he Is sweet songster. who has produced
work which In its music is as passionate
and human as the story which it Illus
frates.
