[mascagni-interest] Piano works, songs, and more

[Erik Bruchez]

Dear list,

I just put the following items online:

1. Piano works by David Vine. This includes the Pensiero a San
   Francisco, already available, as well as six other pieces:

2. Seven Mascagni songs by Patricia Wright and David Vine. These come
   from a CD, Serenata, released a few years ago.

   Thanks a lot to Roger Flury and David vine for those two wonderful
   contributions!
   The sounds are available in MP3 format as well as in Ogg format, "a
   completely open, patent-free, professional audio encoding and
   streaming technology".
3. "Mascagni in America", an article by Henry T. Finck, 1902. This is
   the little preface I wrote: "Henry T. Finck wrote this article at
   the beginning of Mascagni's 1902-1903 American tour. Most of his
   facts are correct, and his desire to see Guglielmo Ratcliff
   performed is quite justified. However his appreciation of Zanetto
   and Iris is misguided and typical of a misunderstanding of
   Mascagni's operatic output, which consists in expecting his other
   operas to sound like Cavalleria Rusticana. This attitude
   unfortunately persists today."

   The article comes with a great photograph of Mascagni and his
   family.
4. It is now possible to search the entire site using the search box
   at the top of every page. The index is only refreshed as often as
   Google visits Mascagni.org, but the results are pretty good.
Enjoy!

-Erik
