LOST OVERTURE OF "AIDA" FOUND.
Verdi Is Said to Have Torn It from the Score
and for Forty Years It Has Been Sought.
A dispatch from Rome says that the overture
which Verdi wrote for his opera "Aida" and sub-
sequently tore from the score, saying he was not
pleased with it, has been found after forty years
and is now in the hands of Arturo Toscanini, of
the Metropolitan Opera House in New York.
The music, for which a steady search has been
made for years, was found casually among some
papers which Verdi's niece, Maria Verdi Carrara,
ence received for safekeeping from her uncle.
Toscanini, asked what he would do with it, re-
plied :
"Verdi said he considered the symphony super-
fluous and replaced it by adding a few notes to the
prelude of the first act. There is no record that
this overture was used.
"My opinion is that unless this symphony re-
veals to us some new aspects of Verdi's art, it must
be placed in the family archives and be kept
there.''
The score comprises seventy-six thickly written
pages in Verdi's handwriting and is dated Decem-
ler 23, 1872.
