Under this name she was known to a few people only. but as Marchesi she was world-famoxs, and was recognized as the greatest teacher of singing since the time of Garcia, who was, by the way, her own teacher. More famous singers have passed through Mme. Marchesi's hands in forty or fifty years than through the hands of any other three teachers. From all parts of the world singers flocked to Vienna, to Paris or to Lon- don, where at one time or another she taught. In her advanced years Mme. Marchesi somewhat relaxed her efforts, but it remains true that as an old woman she continued to teach, although she used sometimes to com- plain of the grind. Why she did not retire before, since she found the work very exacting, is not easily understood. She commanded what fees she chose to ask from her pupils. and while as .a rule'she did not have more than fifty at a time, she might have had a thousand had she been willing to re- ceive them. age of 86 the Marquise A Fine Voice When she was quite a young girl business reverses made it necessary for the family to become self-support- ing, and one of Mathilde’s sisters be- came a governess. Mathilde was thought to have a fine voice, but it was uncultivated.‘ However, it was felt that her voice was her chief as- set, and the governess saved up enough money to have it trained, Her first teacher was Nikilai, and later on she went to Garcia. She studied un- der him in Paris for four years, pay- ing her tuition fees by teaching less advanced pupils. Before this timeshe had appeared in concerts several times, and always with success. She had promised her parents that she would not sing in grand opera, and "have shone brilliantly was barred to ‘her. Some Early Pupils Marchesi's chief success was made "in London, still the home of the vocal concert, and here she met'her future "husband, the Marquis, an Italian re- fugee, who was passing under the name of Marchesi, and who was also a professional singer. After their mar- riage they continued to sing together. They were in Vienna in 1854, and so impressed were the critics with Mme. Marchesi's methods that she was of- fered a position as instructor of Sing ing in the conservatory. So Mme. Marchesi retired from the stage and settled down as a teacher. Melba Her Favorite The fame of her pupils, the favorite being Melba, brought fame to Mme. Marches-i, and soon she decided to move to Paris. She limited herself to fifty pupils, and always taught them in classes, a practice which she continued as long as she taught, for she insisted that the only proper way to teach a girl to sing was in class. Her pupils were divided into little groups, being graded according to the quality of- their 'voices and the length of their previous training, for prac- tically all Mme. Marchesi‘s pupils were professionals when they went to Yher. Until the last couple of years not her life Mme. Marchcsi rose every :morning'at _7.30. and at 8.30 recelxed 'her first class. She gave lessons until noon, after which there..was a recese until 1.30. Then until 5.30 she would teach. She was very fond of dining out. or of attending theatres and con- certs; and .iow for fifty years she could work so hard in the daytime and en- joy herself so thoroughly in the even- ings was one of the minor mysteries of Paris.
