Even Anton lost himself in the Leipsic Tönhalle, once, in the middle of his own cadenza to a Beethoven sonata: had played it a hundred times, I suppose; tried it twice, and then fairly ran out of the room. Laroche there, can't expect any real luck till he's done it too. What form'll you take it in, Grigory? Hey? Finished, Ivan?
Had Leipsic welcomed the Prussian army in a ready and friendly manner, she would certainly have met with indulgence; but her defiant and sullen behavior, her warm partisanship of Austria, whose ally Saxony was, naturally only tended to increase the animosity of the king, and aggravate his ill-humor.
Nevertheless, it must be admitted that the present hard times and the unsettled state of society in Berlin tend to restrict the number of students. The remarkable contrast presented in the sudden growth of the Leipsic University shows how even matters of education are influenced by social and economic laws. This Saxon city seems marked out by Nature for a seat of learning.
He is evidently jogging along slowly. He cannot now be more than fifty miles away; he is perhaps just about at Leipsic. I think we had better speak to him and tell him to go higher up and not to come over Berlin before dark. You know he does not know what is going on here.
I accordingly repaired to Leipsic, about the time when the French Revolution broke out. I spent some time at Leipsic, where I applied myself to the study of the law of nations, and the German and English languages.
She looked him full in the face, but still there was no sign. "What truth?" faltered the old man. He realised now that she knew; but exactly what did she know? "You ask me that?" she said sadly. "You, my my old music master!" "A music master who taught you nothing," he said evasively. "Shall I go to Leipsic?" asked Hélène. The old man shook his head. "No!" he articulated faintly.
He sat down directly at a table, and composed the music for the recitative and the orchestral accompaniment in about half an hour. It was at once transcribed, and given without any rehearsal, and went very finely. On returning to Leipsic he determined to pass the summer in Vevay, Switzerland, on account of his failing health, which had begun to alarm himself and his friends.
Richard Wagner, who has been somewhat ironically called the musician of the future, and whose music has been relegated to posterity by a considerable number of his contemporaries, was born at Leipsic, May 22, 1813. After his preliminary studies in Dresden and Leipsic, he took his first lessons in music from Cantor Weinlig.
But, before he was old enough to take any very decided steps in the profession of law, his determination to follow a wider literary career became so evident that the plan of jurisprudence was eventually entirely abandoned. When he was sixteen years old he went to Leipsic, and entered at the university there, in the month of October, 1765.
When or by whom it was made, remains a mystery. Some have supposed it was intended to be erected for the worship of the Sun, by the wild Teutonic tribes who inhabited this forest; it is more probably the work of the Romans. A project was once started, to erect it as a monument on the battle-field of Leipsic, but it was found too difficult to carry into execution.
