The signor having placed her two sisters Amalia, who subsequently married Maurice Strakosch, the well-known impresario, and Carlotta, also a vocalist of remarkable powers in a boarding-school at Milan, went to New York with his wife and daughter, where they remained until Adelina reached sixteen.
Salzburg imitated Vienna, and Vienna, in spite of Gluck, was still Italian in its sympathies, so far at any rate as opera seria was concerned. Mozart wrote his first opera, 'La Finta Semplice, for Vienna, when he was twelve years old. It would have been performed in 1768 but for the intrigues of jealous rivals and the knavery of an impresario.
I will punctually attend to the score of the Cantata. I trust Y.R.H. will forgive my not having yet been to see you. After the concert for the poor, comes one in the theatre, equally for the benefit of the impresario in angustia, for they have felt some just shame, and have let me off with one third and one half of the usual charges.
The consequence is that Marguerite's part ranges over nearly three octaves, and is frightfully trying, particularly for a beginner. 'Bosh! ejaculated the impresario, though he knew it was quite true.

When Renovales handed her the pile of lires which the impresario gave him she said with a little laugh of joy, "Money, money!" and ran and hid it away with the serious expression of a diligent, economical housewife only to take it out the next day and squander it with a childish carelessness. What a wonderful thing painting was!
He was wholly an impressionist in his youth from choice, as when he wrote the music of "Rinaldo" faster than the librettist could supply the words; in middle age and afterwards from necessity, as he never had time to write save when circumstances freed him for a few days from the active duties of an impresario.
