New-York tribune., 1922-04-09

Perhaps that ought to suffice to settle
the matter; but few more observa-
tlons are pertinent. Mr.. Littlefield says
there was nothing to show that Otto
Jahn, who wrote a monumental life of
Mozart, had any evidence Of Da Ponte's
authorship other than that contained
IN the German librctti. Jahn saws IN
footnote that the first book of words
of "Cosi fan tutte" was shown to him
by Sonnleithner, who was an author
ity on the history of the Niennese
theater. Mr.. Littleheld saws he trans
lated Da Ponies autobiography, but
mad found nothing about "Cosi fan
lutte" Our notes. made over thirty
years ago, are few and scant, but Jahn
says that Da Ponte mentions the opera,
briefly in Vol. II, Page 1O9, Of his
"Mem orie," and We think he does. At
any rate, Professor Marchesan in
cludes the title in his "Note Biblio-
gratiche.' Moreover, there are other
operas which Da Ponte wrote which he
did not mention i'll the somewhat
sketchy and fantastic story Of his life.
He wrote thirty-siX operas for Sa-
lieri, Martini, STORAGE, Mozart, Caz-
zaniea, Righini. Peticchio, Bianchi
and Weigl. If he laid stress on
Don Giovanni and de Nozze di Fi-
garo" it was probably because these
were the works which were still alive
at the time he wrote his autobiography
in New York. Moreover, it is an indie
fensible thing to say, even within the
refuge of an anonymous quotation, that
the Garcia troupe in 1925 performed
"all the works of Da Ponte in New
York" At Da Ponte's instigaton, Gar
cia performed Don Giovanni because
the part of the Don was in his roper
tory. When Da Ponte left London for
America In 1906 "Cosi fan lutte" had
not been performed in the English cap
ital, and when It was produced in 1911,
Garcia refused to accept the role of
Guglielmo and was publicly taken to
task because of his refusal. IF G. D..
de la Chavanne in the preface to his
translation Of Da Ponte's Memoirs says
that "Don Giovanni" and ale NozZc di
Figaro" are the only operas on which
Da Ponte and Mozart collaborated his
testimony has about as much value as
Mr.. Littlefield's. The Frenchman wrote
in 1850 and called the poet "dAponte.

On First Performances in Concerts

Un f1fEE performances III SOHttItS
To persons who confine their attend
ance at symphonic concerts to single
series, no matter whether it be one
given by the Philharmonic, Symphony,
Philadelphia. or Boston Orchestra, it
is a thing of indifference il all these
organizations play one and the same
composition. But this is not the case
when the composition is repeated IN
the same series, or when the persons
chance to be subscribers TO more than
one set of orchestral concerts. Then
one might be tempted to wonder
whether the repetitions are due to the
small repertory of scrviceable music
or the conductors are purposely chal-
lenging reviewers and audiences to
make comparisons. Looking back
hurriedy on the season now drawing
to close, we are strongly tempted
to believe that in making their pro
grams conductors think more Of them
selves and possible opportunities to
create sensation than to acquaint
the public with masterpieces Of com
position.
Some such purpose also influences
them in their production Of novelties.
If the music be good it doesn't make a
particle of difference to intelligent lis
teners whether work was ever heard
before in New York or elsewhere IN
America so long as il does not !inger
tirescmely in the public ear. For years
we have been asked to search onr mem
CRY or our records To answer tne
question:: Has such or such q work
ever been performed in New York 10
