took him abroad to continue his mu-
sic study, and he first studied at the
Paris Conservatory. with such mas
ters as Marmontel, for piano, and Sa-
ward, for theory and composition.
Then in Germany he studied in Frank
fort and Stuttgart, with Karl Hey
mann as piano instructor and Joa-
chin Raff. the well known composer,
for composition.
The unusual talents OF the young
American SO impressed his German
instructors that in 1881 they recon-
mended him for the university chair,
vacant because Of Heymann's resig-
cause of his extreme youth. He did.
however. accept an instructorship at
Darmstadt. but did not keep it long
because of the great amount of work
and the small pay. He returned to
Frankfort and gave private lessons
and composed. His First Modern
Suite for the Piano" won the warm
est Of recognition from even the
great Liszt himself, and Mcdowell
resolved to settle permanently in
America and married his former
pupil. Marian Neyins. and then re-
turned to Germany, where he lived
the next dozen years.

Boston, where he began that phe-
nomenal rise to fame in concert
work that has become a mark in
American music history. Many OF
his orchestral composition were per-
formed almost as soon as they were
written. In 1896 he accepted the
newly created chair for the depart
ment of music Of Columbia Cniver-
sity and spent eight years Of Wig
orous teaching there that undermined
his health beyond repair. Upon the
development Of alarming symptoms
Of mental disorder he resigned his
position there. but his trouble re-
suited In hopeless insanity until his
death three years later.
1t is impossible to here enumerate
the long list of compositions by this
great American romantic composer
His Woodland Sketches and Sea
Pieces contain many Of his most
popular and fascinating shorter com
positions and some charmingly
simple songs. MacDowelrs is a pro-
gram music of poetic. but not de-
scriptive variety; he Is a sketcher in
music of moods rather than that OF
concrete objects. He has been

Mcdowell was always a great ad.

Composers-MacDo cDowell.

There is probably no American com.
gained the constantly increasing ad-
miration that is meted out to the com
positions of the late Edward Alex
ander Mcdowell. OF all American
composers Mr.. MacDowell Is the most
likely of any to receive a nearly
unanimous vote as ranking at the top
Of the list.
He was born in the great American
metropolis, New York city, December
IS, 1851. and died there January 23,
1908. He was Of Scotch-Irish parent
age, and is generally considered as
having acquired his fine esthetic sense
and sensitive artistic tendency from
his father These characteristics are
the outstanding features Of most Of
his work.
MacDowelrs musical education was
begun when he was eight years old,
and Juan Buitrago. a family friend.

was no musical prodigy. and not until
he received lessons from Paul Des-

Madame Marie Jeritza, in private

honeymoon for her husband and her
self. Washington will be the first
city madame will get a chance to

phenomenal first appearance at the
Metropolitan, all Of her time has
been spent in study. This charming
blond soprano from the former I'M
perial Opera House of Vienna has
threatened to go off some day on a
