Articles on the death of conductor Carl Anschütz

“CARL ANSCHUETZ, the well-known musical director, who has long been identified with numerous operatic and musical enterprises in New-York and other localities in this country, died yesterday morning, after a long and painful disease. He was born in Coblence, [sic] and was consequently fifty-seven years of age at the time of his death. He was a pupil of his father, JOSEPH ANDREAS, a Government official at Coblence, and of F. SCHNEIDER, an eminent composer in Dessau. He was the composer of several musical works; among others, a composition entitled ‘The Mass,’ and in musical circles he was considered an authority on musical matters. He first made his appearance in this country in 1857 with Impresario ULLMAN, and was subsequently identified with the operatic undertakings of GRAU, MARETZEK, GROVER, and with the Patti-Ullman and Batemann [sic] concert troupes. Of late years he has been engaged as the director of Philharmonic concerts, and before hiss health began to fail founded and conducted a conservatorium of music. The people of nearly every large city of the United States have seen ANSCHUETZ acting as a director of one or the other operatic troupes, and in musical circles, as well as among a vast number of private and professional friends and acquaintances his decease will be sincerely regretted.”
