of William Stadtfeld Is
Announced

Since its last concert, which COM
pleted the first half of the present
season, the Loring club has had the
great grief of losing by death its
director, William C. Stadtfeld. whose
active connection with the club. as
member, secretary and later director.
dated from the very early years of. the
club. Apart from Stadtfeld's fine mu-
steamship his personal popularity with
the members was exceptionally strong,
so that his death has been a personal
grief to each member.
During the time of his critical i'll
ness the club adjourned from week to
week. In now resuming its musical
work the Loring club has been fortu-
nate in that Wallace A Sabin has ac-
cepted Its invitation to act as direvctor
for the remainder of the present sea
son.
The next concert, which is set for
Tuesday evening, the 18th inst. at
Christian Science hall, is to be a not

paniment of orchestra, piano and organ

play Saint Saens Introduction and
Rondo Capriccioso." An orchestra un
der the leadership of Bernat Jaulus

pany the club in two scenes from Max
Bruch's celebrated "Frithjof Saga" in
which the barytone solo will be sung
by Gustave Bremen. the other. solo
parts being assigned to prominent

Miss Esther MundeII Pays
Tribute to Jean de Reszke

An interesting letter comes from
Paris written by Miss Esther A Nun
dell. formerly a well known teacher
or vocal and instrumental music in
this city. She has been In Paris study
ing with Jean de ResxIze, the great
tenor. and writes of his methods OF
teaching. This IS what Miss Mundell
says.
Thinking that some OF the vocal
students IN San Francisco might be
interested in knowing something
about the Jean de Reszke methods, ]
have written a brief article on the
main points Of his remarkable system
or voice culture
Il know that there are many who
have a wrong impression Of his mar
velous voicework. an impression Gre
ated by some OF those who have not
studied with him. or, il they have had
the advantage of training under him,
IL was for too brief time to acquire
a correct idea Of him, his theories and
accomplishments
The De Reszke method is simple
only in the sense that II makes sing
ing simple and natural To acquire II
takes time and at first. much more
concentration OF thought than actual
practice That is where so many stu
dents make their first mistake They
commence the practice of exercises like
a machine without mentality Reszke
believes that the quality OF the voice
IS a consideration second in Importance
10 the development OF mentality.
The first requisite OF his method is
what ne terms singing with the
breath Such singing is not what is
generally understood by the express
sion. but means that after one has
well filed the lower lungs with air
holding the walls firmly by aid OF the
diaphragm and side muscles. one mus

breath, having. so 10 speak, a thread
Of air connecting the tone with the
quantity Of air contained in the dia-

tion OF the lungs or chest tank De
Reszke calls the appin' or support
Without this support one has not tn,

These are the main principles OF this
remarkably successful method.
1T certainly made Jean de Reszke
one of the worlds greatest tenors, and
is now showing its great and lasting
results in such singers as Mrs. Saltz-
an-Stevens and Mrs Edwards, whose
successes were absolutely meteoric in
London during the past season. These
two singers so took the music loving
public Of London by storm that they

seasons to come. His wonderful train
ing is also shown in Maggie Tevte,
young English girl, who sings. 'Pelleas
and Melisande at the Opera Comique
here. and Marcelle. Parisienne, who is
delighting audiences in Vienna with
her Interpretation of Strauss new
opera, Electra not TO mention a great
many others who are having much
success in concert and salon work.
The method has accomplished Won
derful things for my voice. and while
am sorry that the world has lost such
a valuable singer, 1 am happy to know
that we who desire TO sing have gained
