the fight, but in all those who aid AMI

SENBR|CH ON HER ART
A PRIMA DONNA's ADVICE TO
GIRLS WHO WOULD BE
SINGERS
HER INTERESTING CAREER
Things They Must Learn for Them
selves-The Matter of Diet
The Value of the Old
Repertoire

-
''Let.'a girl Who wants to learn to slug
first make of herself good musician. Let
her learn some musical instrument thor
oughly. All women cannot take UP the
violin, although for singers that is the
best instrument. The girl who begins
to study singing by acquiring complete
musical education will have made the
best preparation possible
This is Nine. Sembrichs advice as to
the first step which a singer should
take
with me- she continued, sit was a
lucky thing that 1 learned the violin, for
it helped me more than anything else
could have done. have also noticed that
singers who play the violin are more
likely to sing in tune than others. But
if the violin is out of the question, girl
who would sing had better learl the
piano."
And then?'
Then comes the difficult question of
selecting the teacher who can do the
most important thing correctly-that Is,
place the voice. Once that is done, as
much depends on the pupil as on tie
teacher. The teacher can do a great
deal, but not everything. 1t Is when the
pupil has begun to learn singing that
her talents as a musician will come to
her assistance most. If she is good
pianist or good violinist her work OF
preparation will not only be easier, but
all her practice will be more effe tive
AS for the roles she learns, everybody
knows what my opinions on that subject
are. This Is the advice that 1 always
give-learn the old repertoire.
ct is such music as La Somnambula,' >
Lucia Linda de Chamounix and IL
Barbiere' that trains one to sing well.
Learn that thoroughly and let the mod
ern composers alone for while II
there was anything needed to prove the
tt nth of my theory, one would only have
to look at Nine. Patti. She is over fift>-
now, and yet she sings remarkably, and
she has her voice left st.l. vi what
other women can the same thing be said?
Look, too, at Lilli Lehman, who be-
gan her career as a singer of the Italian
music and is today another great exam
pie of what that training will do. 1t
was not until she had learned thoroughly
the Italian repertoire that she began to
sing Wagner. She and Nine. Patti are
two of the last great singers. No young
; ones are coming up to take their places,
and the reason is that the old music
9 which trained the voices best is no longer
taught today. Even in Italy 1t IS not
taught to the singers. They imTne-
diateIy begin to sing LeoncavalIo or Mas
cagni, which is just as bad for their
sic.
after a girl has learned to sing. the
next important thing for her to learn
is what she should sing. Certain voices.
as so many singers seem to forget, are

suited only to certain kinds of music.
One may have voice which would last
for long time in singing the music suit
ed to it. But If it is used in singing
Wagner or the dramatic music of the
younger composers it cannot endure
There is only a certain quantity of it,
and if it be used up in two or three
years by singing music to which 1t is
not suited only one thing can happen.
But singers often seem to forget that
with voice suited only to certain kinds
of music it is impossible to succeed in
entirely different fields. That is a thing
which the singer must learn for her
self"
1t is known that Nine Sembrich-whose
name in Polish has a most weired and
gruesome sound, not in the least like its
pronunciation in any other Tongue
started her career as a viOlinist and plan
list. She was a species of infant phenOm-
enon, and when DR.. Wilhelm Stengel now
her husband, began to teach her the viO-
lin she was only eleven years old She
made her debut in Vienna as pianist
and was to have studied with List at
Weimar.
Then I summoned up the courage to
sing for two of my friends in Vienna,
one of whom had been teaching me the
piano." she said. 'They were Prof. Epp-
stein and Prof. Helmesberger L had al
was never thought that L would ever
have voice enough to become singer.
Besides my family never wanted me to.
Playing the violin and piano at a concert
was one thing; singing on the stage in
opera was quite another and not nearly
so desirable Very little attention was
paid to the voice. But my husband-he
was my teacher then-had often said that
he thought L might be able to become
singer. So one day my two friends
listened to me while 1 sang. Immedi-
ately they advised me to study and af-
ter six months I had decided that | should
never be anything but singer. But If
1t had not happened that / screwed up
my courage to singing that day for my
two friends, 1 might never have been
prima DONNA
Nine. Sembrich is not an Austrian, but
a Pole, and she sang the first song in
the Polish language that had been heard
for many years in st. Petersburg. She
sang as an encore once a song of Chop
ms, and to her establishment the audi
ence in the opera house heard 1t with
great enthusiasm. 1t was after this that
she went to the imperial palace to sing
for Alexander II. He asked her to sing
some of ChCpins songs.
But, your majesty, can sing Chopin
only in Polish" she answered.
"Why, sing it in Polish, of course" he
reJ0lued. Mime. SemDT1cn Qlu So ana
after that her Polish songs were a regu-
lar feature of her appearances in st. Pc
tersburg. But in other parts of Russ
they were not so well received.
On her way back to Dresden from ST.
Petersburg in that year Nine. Sembrich
sang at wilma, one of the former Polish
capitals She has sung there regularly
every year during the ten which have
passed since she began to go yearly to
ST. Petersburg. But that first visit was
different in one important particular from
any other.

telling the story, children who speak
Polish on the streets Of Wilma are pun
ished, and performances of any kind in
the Polish language are forbidden.
