The article presents information from the world of music. The number of popular operas is so limited that one must welcome every effort to relieve the monotony, even when the experiment turns out as disastrously as did the recent production at the Metropolitan Opera House the music "Adriana Lecouvreur." Much more successful was the first production "Thais," at the Manhattan, New York. The twelfth volume of the superb edition of the musical works of composer Jean Philippe Rameau is given over entirely to the opera ballet "PIatée." The original manuscript of one of music composer Ludwig van Beethoven's most important compositions is offered by the great Leipzig, Germany, bookseller, Karl W. Hiersemann, for 42,000 marks.
