Richard Strauss's opera "Rosenkavalier" had 228 performances in the opera houses of Germany during the past season, while "Elektra" had only 44. Next year, one of the busiest of musicians is Teresa Carreño, the eminent Venezuelan pianist. During the past season, she gave eighty-seven concerts, the last at the Lower Rhine Music Festival at Aix-la-Chapelle. Carreño's name will be mentioned in the annals of music as one of the foremost pianists of her time; as the composer of the Venezuelan national hymn; and as the first teacher of America's greatest composer.
