Se io volessi scrivere tutto quel che viddi, non bastarebbe questo foglietto. In due Accademie suonai, e domani suonero anche in una. Finita questa lettera finiro una sinfonia mia, che comminciai. WOLFGANGO in Germania. AMADEO MOZART in Italia. Roma caput mundi il 25 Aprile anno 1770 nell' anno venture 1771.
The last movement of the Sinfonia eroica, for instance, affords excellent instruction in this respect; it should be understood as a movement consisting of a greatly expanded series of variations; and accordingly it should be interpreted with as much variety as possible.
As I have already said, Bulow was invited in the course of the winter to give a pianoforte recital at a concert at which I promised to produce the Sinfonia Eroica. With his usual audacity he chose Liszt's piano arrangement of the Tannhauser Overture, a work as brilliant as it is difficult, and therefore a somewhat hazardous undertaking.
A Grand Battle Sinfonia, descriptive of the battle and victory at Vittoria, adapted for the pianoforte and dedicated to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent 40 ducats. 2d. A Grand Symphony in the key of A, adapted to the pianoforte and dedicated to 3d. A Grand Trio for the pianoforte, violin, and violoncello in the key of B. 4th.
One then sees his eyes with a vague and sleepy look in them; and he is like old Rameau, who used to walk about for hours as if he were an automaton, seeing nothing and thinking of nothing. At Strasburg Strauss conducted his Sinfonia Domestica, whose programme seems boldly to defy reason, and even good taste.
The "Sinfonia Eroica," the "Choral" only excepted, is the longest of the immortal nine, and is one of the greatest examples of musical portraiture extant.
In 1815 he made a concert tour in France and Italy, during which he met Rossini and Paganini, playing at Venice a sinfonia concertante of his own composition, with the latter. On his return to Germany in 1817 Spohr was appointed conductor of the Opera at Frankfort-on-the-Main, where his opera "Faust" was now produced, also "Zemire and Azor."
'Did you get the Sinfonia Domestica, Ol? Mr Brindley inquired. 'Didn't I say as I should get it, Bob? 'You SAID you would. 'Well, I've got it. 'In Manchester? 'Of course. Mr Brindley's face shone with desire and Mr Oliver Colclough's face shone with triumph. 'Where is it? 'In the hall. 'My hall? 'Aye! 'We'll play it, Ol. 'No, really, Bob! I can't stop now. I promised the wife

When the phrase your subjects was publicly assigned to the Corps Législatif by its courtier-like president, Fontanes, there was a flutter of wrath among those who had hoped that the new Empire was to be republican. But it quickly passed away; and no Frenchman, except perhaps Carnot, made so manly a protest as the man of genius at Vienna, who had composed the "Sinfonia Eroïca," and with grand republican simplicity inscribed it, "Beethoven
Mr Colclough, throwing the score of the Sinfonia Domestica into the tonneau of the immense car, put on a pair of gloves and began to circulate round the machine, tapping here, screwing there, as chauffeurs will.
