“ Trebelli's appearances in the opera-houses of Germany were a series of brilliant triumphs. Public and critics were alike carried away by enthusiasm when they heard her rendering of the parts of Rosina, Arsace, Orsini, Urbano, Azucena and others. No member of Merelli's Italian troupe was gifted with so brilliant a voice and so much executive power. Nor could the audiences fail to be impressed by the actress's varied powers so rarely at the command of one individual, Trebelli expressing at one time the fire of an almost manly vigour, and at another the charm of womanly tenderness and delicacy. ”

“ TRÉSOR MUSICAL. A collection of music edited by the learned M. Robert van Maldeghem, whose researches in the monasteries and libraries of the continent, including the Vatican, have yielded splendid results, and, with the encouragement of the Belgian Government have rescued from obscurity many works of the old Flemish and Belgian composers, under whom the golden age of counterpoint was reached. ”

“ The biographical notices, sometimes accompanied with portraits, are of interest, but would gain in value were more frequent reference made in them to the authorities consulted. Every year since 1865 has seen the publication, in a magnificent edition, by Musquardt, Brussels, of two books ('Musique religieuse, musique profane') of the series, which is not yet complete. [1] In the following index the more usual forms of certain composers' names are preferred to those given in Maldeghem's list. ”
