Summary

NABUCCO. Line 3 of article, for in Lent read March 9.

NACHBAUR, Franz. Add that in 1882 he was a member of the German Opera Company at Drury Lane, and on June 3 sang the part of Walther in ‘Die Meistersinger,’ originally sung by him on the production of the work at Munich in 1868. He also appeared as Adolar in ‘Euryanthe’ on June 13. [A.C.]

NACHRUF. The German word expresses the idea, not merely of farewell, but of fame after death; thus ‘Elegy’ would be a more accurate translation.

NADESCHDA. Romantic opera in four acts; words by Julian Sturgis; music by A. Goring Thomas. Produced by the Carl Rosa Company at Drury Lane, April 16, 1885. [M.]

NÄGELI, J. G. Mention should be made of the ‘Lied vom Rhein,’ given on p. 16 of Scherer's collection.

NAENIA. Add that a setting of the same words for chorus and orchestra is op. 82 of the published works of Brahms.

NAPLES. P. 446 a, l. I, for towards the end of 1584 read in the year 1583. See also Musical Libraries, vol. ii. p. 425 b.

NAPOLEON, Arthur, son of Alexandre Napoleon, an Italian, and Doña Joaquina dos Santos, a Portuguese lady, was born at Oporto, March 6, 1843. He began to learn the piano at four years of age under the direction of his father, who was a professor of music in that city.
