Verdi's "Falstaff."

Verdi's "Falstaff."

What has most astonished the critics in Verdi's latest work, "Falstaff," is that at an age when usually mind and music have acquired a "set" which renders friskiness impossible he has given us a work overflowing with mirth and jollity. Such a work could only have been composed by one at peace with himself and the world, and all lovers of the maestro will say that he richly deserves all his blessings.--National Magazine For January.
