N Wednesday, April 27th,
Gotthold Carlberg, the
musical editor of THE MUSICAL
CKITIC AND TEADE REVIEW, died
suddenly at his residence in
this city. Mr. Carlberg had
been ill for several months, but
the chief cause of his death, an
aneurism of one of the main
arteries, was, we believe, not
suspected.
Mr. Carlberg had been con-
nected with this paper as its
musical editor for the past year,
and during that time his arti-
cles had been widely copied,
and greatly admired for their
keenness, originality, and force.
He was a shrewd observer, and
had a striking and original way
of putting things that always
commanded respectful atten-
tion. His death is a severe loss
to musical and critical art in
this country.
Mr. Carlberg leaves a wife
and one child, and as the artis-
tic life is not a money making
one, his family are not abund-
antly provided with this world's goods. Mr. C. F. Tretbar, of Stein way &
Sons, is receiving subscriptions from those who wish to substantially testify
to their regard for Mr. Carlberg and his family, and we trust that the amount
realized will be large.
We give below a short sketch of Mr. Carlberg's career.
Gotthold Carlberg was born in Berlin, Prussia, on June 15th, 1838. At
the age of four years he took his first piano lessons from the organist, Thiele.
When he was fifteen years old he began the study of harmony under Profes-
sor A. B. Mark. After the death of his father he went to Paris and London,
and in February, 1857, he came to New York. In the course of a year he
was appointed musical editor of the Stoats Zeitung. His articles in that
paper attracted the attention of Carl Anschuetz, and he offered to complete
Carlberg's musical education, which had been interrupted by the death of
his father. Carlberg studied with Anschuetz for two years, and during
that time made his first appearance in public as conductor of a festival at
Jones' Woods. In 1861 Mr. Carlberg returned to Europe and served in the
ranks of the Prussian Army. In 1863 he started an orchestra under the
name of "Carlbergscher Orchestewerein," and gave over 150 concerts.
These performances were spoken of by the Berlin critics in very high terms.
Mr. Carlberg left Berlin in 1864 and went to Vienna to study the cultivation
of the voice. He left Vienna after a time and went to Briinn to conduct con-
certs for the benefit of the poor, where he remained three years, and then
returned to Vienna, where he wrote two books on the culture of the voice.
In June, 1870, Johann Strauss offered him an engagement in Warsaw to conduct
concerts. He gladly accepted it, and was soon made musical director of the
Imperial Opera House in that city. In June, 1871, Carlberg went to St. Peters-
burg, where he conducted four concerts with an orchestra of 130 musicians.
In one of these concerts he became acquainted with Prince George Galitzin,
who persuaded him to go with him to America, where he intended to give
some Prussian concerts. These concerts did not prove successful, but Carl-
berg was immediately offered an engagement by Max Maretzek as musical
director for Pauline Lucca's first appearance in America. He wrote articles
for several New York papers, and gave vocal lessons. He conducted several
subsequent operatic seasons, and was conductor of the first performance in
America of Richard Wagner's " Flying Dutchman." He also conducted a
series of symphony concerts at Chickering Hall during the winter of 1878-9.
