DELSARTE Felix Duquesnal in one of his brilliant articles has written something about Delsarte, the singer, in connection with his controversy with Madame Carvalho.

The cause of this controversy was the lessons she took from him.

The name of Delsarte should never be forgotten, as I shall try to explain.

Madame Carvalho did not refuse to pay Delsarte for her lessons, but she did not want to be called his pupil.

Although she had attended the Conservatoire, she wanted to be known solely as a pupil of Duprez.
