o' "Die Tote Stadt," by the young Jewish composer, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, was brought out a week ago by the Metropolitan Opera company in New \ork. Korngold is exactly twenty-two years old, an age when most musicians have just graduated from the conservatory and are carrying about to the publishers a fresh-laid sonata and a new-mown symphony. Korngold was an "ultra-modern" at the age of twelve, a startling product of the late days before the war, a patriarchial child, a philosophical infant; in short, what Nietzsche might have termed a Superbc.be. Korngold is a native of Vienna where his father has been famous for the past quarter of a century as music critic of the Neue Freie Presse. Young Korngold is a conductor as well as composer, and during the past year has led orchestras at Hamburg-, Lelpsic and Vienna.
