Crystal Palace Company, formed in that year,
and was actively concerned in the popular or-
chestral concerts given by that institution. He
became much inter sted in the Schubert man—
uscripts, that were long Withheld from the pub—
lic through indifference and neglect after the
composer’s death, in 1828. His connection with
them is thus told in a recent article in “The
Etudcz"

In 1867 George Grove and Arthur Sullivan
made an expedition to \ anna, dent on getting
to the bottom of the Schubert manuscripts.
Sullivan was then a young musician beginning
to attract attention in England by his clever
orchestral composition Grove was already a
distinguished amateur and secretary of the
Crystal Palace Comp-an '. It was on behalf of
their Saturday 1 )pular concerts that the journey
was made. Tl‘ V were received by Dr. Eduard
S hneidei bar! .r, the son—in-law of Schubert’s

'er ThereSi , who had inherited the uncon-
sidered treasures once kept by Ft 'inand Schu-
bert. From a back closet in his to .ce he pulled
out many manuScripts of Schubert’s earlier
symphonies, which were spread before the de—
lighted Englishrnm, a d for copying which he
gave them ample facilities. Still they were
not satisfied. \Vhere vas the “Roszmunde”
music—the overture, the entr'actes, the ballets?
Dr. - 'ler did not linow; but he let the two
rummage for themselves (in his closet. \Vho is
there that does not envy their set sations when,
from a dusty pile, they pulled forth the precious

3y sought. all in Schubert's own hand—
ng l\ yer again, in all probability, 'will
quite the same emotion be roused by a similar
chain of events. The world has learned to take
a little better ea c of its geniuses and their
works. The “Rosamunde” music and the earlier
symphonies were. brought out in ling nd and
elsewhere as a result of this delightful Journey
of exploration, as the C major symphony was
by Schumann twen ~eigat years before.

SIR GEORGE GROV 4}.
The distinguished English writer on music, who died on May 28.

For several years Grove was editor of “Mac-
millan’s Magazine." At the suggestion of Dean
Stanley he became a leading contributor to
Smith’s “D ctionary of the Bible," and took an
active part in the formation of the Palestine
Ex; ration Fund. In 1879 he began the publi—
cation of his great “Dictionary of Music and
Musicians," which was completed in four vol-
umes in 1889. Many of the most important
articles he wrote himself, including the biog—
raphies of Beethoven, Schubert and Mendels—
sohn; they are among the most admirable brief
lives of those musicians in English, and show
