erary work, but has published several worthy compositions also. Constanze Geiger, who appeared at Vienna as an infant prodigy when six years old, has written several piano pieces, also an Ave Maria for soprano, chorus, and organ. Marie Wieck, Clara Schumann's younger sister, has composed a few excellent piano pieces and a number of songs. Sophie, Countess of Baudissin, has published variations, etudes, nocturnes, and other piano works. Josephine Amann is another German piano composer. More familiar to the American public is Adele Aus Der Ohe, a pupil of Liszt and Kullak, who has established her reputation as a pianist. She has composed several piano suites and a concert etude, besides a number of successful songs. Adele Lewing is another pianist residing in America who has produced vocal and instrumental pieces.

Marie Boerner-Sandrini, who lived at Dresden before entering on her career as a famous opera singer, wrote a popular Ave Maria, besides other melodious songs.

Marianne Stecher is another successful organist and composer, and her many fugues earn her a high rank for musicianship. Of earlier date was Judith Bachmann, who flourished at Vienna near the close of the seventeenth century. She is credited with a number of organ fugues, as well as a piano sonata. Coming to the less usual instruments, Ottilie Heinke, who lives in Berlin, has composed two 'cello romances, besides worthy piano music. Sophie Seipt, of Cologne, has also published a number of 'cello pieces. Caroline Kraemer became a virtuoso on the clarinet, and wrote a good many pieces for that instrument.
