P. 18. "Where are they?": Pedrell's _La Celestina_ has found many admirers. Camille Bellaigue in "Notes Brèves" recommends it warmly to the director of the Opéra-Comique in Paris: "Aussi bien, après tant de 'saisons' russes, italiennes, allemandes, pourquoi ne pas en avoir une espagnole?"... Manuel de Falla's _La Vida Breve_ was produced in Paris before it was heard in Madrid. G. Jean-Aubry praises it highly.... And José María Usandizaga's _Las Golindrinas_ has proved immensely popular in Spain. Pianists have not been slow to realize the value and beauty of Spanish music which they have placed on their programs, if not in profusion, at least in no niggardly manner ... but so far as I know no Spanish music has yet been played by our New York symphony societies, although works of Granados, and possibly those of other Spanish composers, have been heard elsewhere in America. This neglect is not only lamentable; it is stupid. Whether the music is good or bad, interesting or dull, New York should be permitted to hear some of it. I should suggest, to begin with, Albéniz's _Catalonia_, Joaquín Turina's _La Procesión del Rocio_, Conrado del Campo's _Divina Comedia_, Pérez Casas's _Suite Murcienne_, and Manuel de Falla's _Noches en los Jardines de España_. Of these I should prefer to hear the second and last. P. 18. "It is doubtful, indeed, if the zarzuela could take root in any theatre in New York": No longer doubtful. Now that we have heard _The Land of Joy_ it is certain that a group of zarzuelas, presented by a good company with a good orchestra in the Spanish fashion, would be greeted here with enthusiasm. P. 18. "in Spain Italian and German operas are much more popular than Spanish": This situation must be quite familiar to any American or Englishman, for neither in America nor in England has English opera any standing. See note to Page 70. P. 24. "_Don Quixote_": Anton Rubinstein wrote a tone-poem with this title.... This list could be made much longer. The second of Debussy's _Estampes_ for piano, _La Soirée dans Grenade_ should certainly be mentioned here.... Pablo Casals ('cellist) and Ruth Deyo (pianist) played Loeffler's _Poème Espagnol_ at a concert in Boston March 24, 1917. P. 25. "Raoul Laparra": This composer, of Basque blood, has been almost constantly obsessed with the idea of Spain and has probably written more consistently Spanish music than some Iberian composers who might be mentioned. There is to be another dance-opera, he writes me, to add to _La Habanera_ and _La Jota_, to be called _Le Tango et la Malagueña_, thus completing the series of "three dramas suggested by three dances." Mr. Laparra married an American and is at present living in America. He has completed an opera entitled _Le Conquistador_, which obviously has do with the Spanish occupation of America. He has also written a book, "La Musique Populaire en Espagne" (Delagrave; Paris). "The best Spanish composer _is_ the people," is his phrase.
