one of the symphonic poems has been the
most popular of Liszts orchestral works
ever since. and the date of its first per-
Torrance in America is therefore worth
noting. II was on April &c. 1859. The next
most popular of the symphonic poems,
"Tasso." was brought forward for the first
time in America on March 20, 1860, Berg
mann again being the conductor; then came

first time on this side Of the ocean on
April 26 1862 the conductor on this occa-

repetition Of "Tasso" on December %. 1862,
and Mr.. William Mason's performance Of
the Schubert-Lisz "Wanderer" fantasia on

On November >. 1854 Mr.. Mills produced
the Weber-Liszt "Polonaise Brillante,

Mason had introduced in the preceding
