Some Interesting Comments on a Live Topic
By Edgar Stillman Kelley.
Edgar Stillman Kelley contributes to the "Pro-
ceedings of the Academy of Arts and Letters" an
article on "Music's Dramatic Problems" from
which the following excerpts are taken:
As a dramatist, Wagner showed such consum-
mate mastery of stage-craft that throughout all
Europe his influence is now seen not only in the
mounting of operas other than his own, but in the
setting of plays where the text is spoken.
Concerning Wagner as a musician, few realize
that he was a complete master of all the phases
of tonal structure, even those that are associated
with the older classical or scholastic methods.
Tints in "Tristan," "Die Meistersinger," and the
"Ring," are to be seen splendid examples of coun-
terpoint (simple, double and quadruple), imita-
tion, canon, fuges, rondo, and sonata. But "his
most remarkable achievements were in the crea-
tion of harmonic designs and modulating themes,
together with their development. This is a phase
of modern music which only men of the order of
Chopin, Schumann, Grieg, and Tchaikovsky 'have
successfully grappled with and conquered.
It may well be doubted whether the world will
ever see Wagner's equal in the triple role he
played, but when kindred talents unite, they may
yet produce music-dramas of merit and magni-
tude. Thus the libretto of "Carmen" involved
the labors of four men, Prosper Merimee, Meil-
bac, Halevy, and Bizet himself. Nevertheless, the
result was worth the effort, for, combined with

the rare music of Bizet, it has become one of the
most valuable contributions to the literature of the
stage. By preserving a greater proportion of
purely musical features—lyric forms, subtle re-
turns from foreign tonalities to the main key, re-
fined orchestration so humanely planned that the
singer has a living chance—Bizet has done the
world of art a service of inestimable value. Its
influence is heard in the charming "Lakme" of
Delibes, "Pique Dame," and "Eugene Onegin" by
Tchaikovsky, and many of the more refined
works of the French, Italians and Russians.
