My Path Through Life
By Lilli Lehmann
Translated from the German by Alice Benedict Seligman
_8o. About 500 pp. With 50 Illustrations_
Mme. Lehmann gives us a volume of memoirs, musical and personal, which
will command the attention of the world-wide public which this great
singer has charmed. The book is written with her characteristic
sincerity and frankness. She unfolds the complete story of her life,
devoting a generous measure of attention to her friends and rivals
upon the operatic stage.
Her achievements in Prague, Leipsic, Vienna, and elsewhere, her
struggles in Berlin, her extended tours in Europe and America, are
fascinatingly told. She presents an account of her collaborations with
Wagner at Bayreuth, and tells of her experiences at Court.
The pleasant as well as the arduous aspects of the artist's career are
presented with a wealth of anecdote.

The Life of Johann Sebastian Bach
BY
Sir Hubert Parry, M.A., Mus. Doc., D.C.L.
Professor of Music, Oxford; Director of Royal College of Music
Author of "Studies of Great Composers," "Evolution of the Art of
Music," etc.
_8vo. With Portraits._
Sir Hubert Parry's _Johann Sebastian Bach, Composer_, is at once a
biography and a critical and historical study of the achievements of
the great eighteenth-century composer, director, and performer upon
the organ and piano. The eminence of Sir Hubert Parry himself as a
composer and as a writer and student of music needs no comment here.
For the last decade he has been professor of music at Oxford.
Considering the importance of the man who is the subject of this life,
and the authority of Sir Hubert Parry as a critic and writer, no
student of music can afford to be a stranger to this thorough and
comprehensive work.

Memoirs of a Prima Donna
By Clara Louise Kellogg
(Mme. Strakosch)
_8o. With 48 Illustrations._
Clara Louise Kellogg, who is now Clara Louise Strakosch, was the first
American prima donna to win recognition abroad. After making her début
in opera at the Academy of Music, in New York, in 1861, she appeared
in opera in London and later in Berlin, Vienna, and Saint Petersburg.
In every country she was received with acclaim and returned to her
native land covered with honors showered upon her by the best
audiences that the old world affords.
Miss Kellogg created the rôle of Marguerite in Gounod's _Faust_ in
this country, and of Mignon in Ambroise Thomas's opera of that name.
After winning laurels in Italian opera she organized an English opera
company of her own, which sang for several seasons in New York and the
principal cities of the United States. While at the head of her own
company she produced Wagner's _Flying Dutchman_ for the first time in
America, creating the rôle of Senta, and she was the first prima donna
to sing _Aïda_ and _Carmen_ in English. Miss Kellogg was famous not
only for the beautiful quality of her voice but for her marvelous
musical ear. It is said that there were over forty operas that she
could sing on twenty-four hours' notice, and that never once in the
course of her operatic career had she been known to sing a fraction of
a tone off the key.
These Memoirs are filled with anecdotes of the interesting people whom
she met, on and off the stage, and contain a fund of information about
voice culture and the study of music that no one interested in the
subject can read without profit.

_An Ideal Biography_
Richard Wagner
His Life and His Dramas
A Biographical Study of the Man and an Explanation of His Work
By
W.J. Henderson
Author of "The Story of Music," "Preludes and Studies," "What Is Good
Music," etc.
The purpose of this book is to supply Wagner-lovers with a single work
which shall meet all their needs. The author has told the story of
Wagner's life, explained his artistic aims, given the history of each
of his great works, examined its literary sources, shown how Wagner
utilized them, surveyed the musical plan of each drama, and set forth
the meaning and purpose of its principal ideas. The volume has been
prepared with great care and no little labor, and is not intended to
be critical, but is designed to be expository. It aims to help the
Wagner-lover to a thorough knowledge and understanding of the man and
his works.
"An exposition rather than a criticism of Wagner's art, for in
Wagner's case it is peculiarly true that any biographical study of the
man is inseparable from an explanation of his works. Mr. Henderson's
book is intended to help the lover of Wagner to a thorough knowledge
and understanding both of the man and his works. Nothing in the
English language, at least, has ever so fully covered the
subject."--_Review of Reviews._
