Rolls is Bendetson Netzorg, well-known Detroit
pianist and composer. Among the recordings recently
made by Mr. Netzorg for the Welte-Mignon (Licen-
see) is his own composition "Marche Grotesque,"
which he has played in many of his recitals.
Bendetson Netzorg was born in Mecosta, Mich., in
1888. He received his early musical education with
Edwin Barnes, founder of the Battle Creek Con-
servatory of Music, with whom he studied piano and
harmony until his graduation from the academy.
In 1906 he went to Berlin, where he spent four
years with Mme. Stepanoff and Hugo Pam. Since
his return to America Mr. Netzorg has devoted his
time to concertizing, teaching and writing. He has
permanently sett'ed in Detroit, where he has had
numerous engagements as soloist with the Detroit
Symphony Orchestra. He has given numerous re-
citals featuring his piano works still in manuscript.
The following list of songs is taken from a group of
the first serious works written by Mr. Netzorg:
Der Tod, song for baritone and piano; Endlose
Liebe, song for mezzo-soprano and piano; Fruehling
und Herbst, song for mezzo-soprano and piano; two
duets for baritone and mezzosoprano, Nachts and
Morgenlied. All of the above are published by Ries
& Erler, music publishers of Berlin.
