father.
As will be remembered, Granados
and his wife were lost 10 the sink
ing of the British cross channel
steamer Sussex in March, 1916.
Herr Won Jagow. the then Ger
man foreign minister, expressed re-
gret for the death Of the composer
in April. 1915. In June of that
year a musical performance was
given in New York for the benefit
OF the children of Senor Granados,
who visited the United States late
in 1915.
At the Aeolian Company, where
Granados was well known, ii was said
that the family OF the pianist has
been left poorly provided for. AL
though he received a considerable
sum for the right to produce his
opera, this was lost when the Sussex
sank, Granados having followed an
old Spanish custom and insisted upon
being paid in gold, which he car
ried when he sailed in a belt beneath
his clothes.
1t is understood that the six chill
dren of the composer have been
compelled to depend largely upon the
royalties received from his compost
tions published In this country.
