The recitals given by the best OF Herr
Thilo Becker's piano pupils are always well
worth hearing. The recital given last Fri

some time now been one of Herr Becker's
greatest attractions, but she Is winning her
laurels, and lots of them, elsewhere.

1t begins to look as if there were revival in
appreciation Of opera in store for the United
States.
Sir Alexander Mackenzie, the English
composer, and conductor of the London
Philharmonic, is one of the many musicians
whom List took under his protecting wing.
One time, at Florence, when Liszt first saw
the Scotch rhapsodies of Mackenzie, he in
sisted on Immediately playing one OF them,
from the four-hand arrangement, with 3d.
phie Menter, though supper was waiting.
and the other one was played after supper.
While at Florence Mr.. Mackenzie on several
occasions played duets with List, and when
Liszt died, the commencement of fantasia
on Mackenzie's opera, "Troubadour," was
found in his writing table. 1t was his last
attempt at composition.
Students of phrasing and expression in
music should read an Illustrated article by
Rosenthal in the June number Of the London
Musical Times, which shows particularly
the Importance of accents Rosenthal is,
however, wrong in the last Of his illus
trations. His accentuation takes all the
longing out of Schuberts Sehnsuchts Wal
GER The most important accents are those
which he removes.
