Why should not he that is noble by the grace of the gods have more power than he that is noble by the grace ot man- kind? And yet Milton died in noverty while the people shouted ‘‘Long Live the King!” and the court was mad with the wine that the shouters paid for. Itis indeed a fortunate thing nowadays | forthe man of genius when the nobility | appreciates him. It means lifslong suc- | cess and fame .instantly and favor from | the world. The eminent musician, Prolessor Xaver Scharwenka, has been favored in this way more, perhaps, than any musician of the day. In '79 he played in the presence of the Emp:ror and Empress of Germany. His playing so charmed the Empress Augusta that she expressed the desire to hear bhim play Beethoven’s *“Appas- sionata.” In return for the p'easure which his ren- dition of the piece gave her, the Empress made him a gift in the shape of a pair of handsome cuff buttons. Later in the same year Scharwenka went to Lonton and was so extremely success- fal that he gave twenty-eight concerts in the city. Two concerts were given at the old Philharmonique, and atone of these he again had the good fortune to become acquainted with a part of a royal family, and this time it vas tne Prince and Prin- cess of Wales. After the concert the Prince went to the artist’s rooms and chatted awhiie, ana evidenily the Prince was deeply impressed with the musician’s good taste as well as his piaving, since it is chronicled with all due solemnity thas his Royal Highness asked Scharwenka for a cigarette. But we are not told whether he smoked it or not. Professor Scharwenka then betook him- self and his talents to Vienna. The Em- peror of Austria was present at the first concert he gave tuer2, in August, 1881 After the concert a very influential mem- | ber of the Austran court, Prince Hohen- | residence. The last of that montn Schar- wenka was nominated pianist of the em- pire. Prince Hohenlohe, who died a few weeks ago, and was a brother to the pres- ent German Chancelior. was very atten- tive to the honored musician. At the opera in Vienna Mr. and Mrs. Scharwenka were often seen in the Prince’s box, and | i the friendsaip between the Prince and the prince of mu-1c. Stiil in Vienna, in the sams year, Schar- wenka composed a ‘“‘Coronation Maren,” for the coronation festivities of the King and Queen of Roumania. He went to Austrian | from the Em p MUSIG AND ROVALTY How Professor Scharwenka Was b the Ladder of Fame. Bucharest to lead the orchestra, and re- ceived afterward a letter of thanks and congratulation, written by the Queen her self, who i known throuch all Europe as an art crit-c. In February, in the vear 1883, Schar- wenka and the violinist Emile Suuret gave «ix concerts in Copenhagen. The King and Quesn were present at all six, and the two artists were the gu sts of the King, and had their free en:rance to the roval paiace. At one of the concerts the pianist was indisposed and could not play his number in the s2cond part. Sauret made aspeech, in which be announced the fact to the King and the public. Scharwenka recovered qu-ck!v and was enj ying him- self hugely at a banquet given to the iwo artists by some friends direcily after the concer’, when one of the King’s cfficers came direct from his Majesty to inquire for his health. Before he let Copenhagen tha Queen of Denmark handed him a letter tor the Em- press cf Russia, and the King made him “Ridder of Dannebrog,’”” a distinction sel- dom accorded. Two years later the same favorite of royalty received the Red Crossof Andreas rorof Ru sia,aftar a concert tournee in the great empire. The Grand Dnke Censtantine invited him once and for always to attend his musicales, which took plac: every Friday af:iernoon, and where the Grand Dake himself played the v.oloncetlo in trics and quartets. Scharwenka met Aver, Dandoif and all the esteemed men of the empire at these afternoons. In 1885 the Academie of Arts of Berlin elected Scharwenka professor, and the Emperor confirmed him as Royal Prussian professor in the same year. Shortly after- ward hs p'ayed zgain in Vieana, and re- ceived an enthusiastic letter from the So- ciety of Music Lovers, at the head of which stood, at the time, Prince Metternich as president and Z>ner as general secretary. In May of thie same year e played ina concert at Karisruhe, whers he rendered Liszt’s “Concert Pathet.q:e,”” for two manos. His foremos: pup.s, Miss Emma Kocy, held the second piano. Tne Grand Duke of Baden and Liszt himself were vresent. After the concert Lizt and Scharwenka were the guests of the Grand Duke at a banquet which he gave in their honor. Again, in the presence of Emperor Wile ijam II and the Empress in December, 1889, Scharwenka led a chorus of 600 and an orchestra of 180 It is said that no musical event has ever surpassed that one. Afterward the Emperor invited him to the palace and compiimented bim warmly for the magnificeat manner in which he had conducted the work.
