Violet's eyes were glittering very strangely. "And you came back again after it?" she said. "Allegro, are you sure?" "Of course," said Olga. "I don't know what you mean, dear. Of course I came back, or I shouldn't be here now." "No no, of course not!" Violet lay back in her chair, gazing straight up through the limes at the flawless August sky. "So that is why I didn't die," she said.
Nina sat between Eliot Porter and the young Prince Allegro; but her attention wandered across the table to John Derby so constantly that the Prince Allegro remarked, "You seem to be entranced by that American!" "Mr. Derby happens to be my oldest and my best friend!" Nina answered. Then, realizing that she had made the statement sententiously, she smiled brightly.
A companion melody, that seems fraught of the text of the second subject, sings with rising passion, while the lower brass blow lustily in eccentric rhythm of the Allegro phrase and at the height share in the dual triumph. We feel a kinship of mood rather than of theme, a coherence that we fear to relate to definite figures, though the descending symbol is clear against the ascending.
I shall lose what I have not got; the poor invalid will lack necessities; and I shall be able to pay neither my personal expenses nor my son's fees when he goes on board ship.... These thoughts made me shudder, and I threw down my pen, saying, 'Bah! to-morrow I shall have forgotten the symphony. The next night I heard the allegro clearly, and seemed to see it written down.
"The pain-killer!" Violet gazed at her bewildered. "What is the pain-killer?" she said. Olga shook her head. "I don't know what it is. He wouldn't tell me. He calls it sudden death." Violet gave a great start. "Good heavens, Allegro! And he gave me that?" "Only enough to make you sleep," explained Olga. "He gave me some the other day, when the heat upset me. I liked it."
Assuredly, the novel and infinitely various combinations of a symphonic movement must be set in motion in an adequate and appropriate manner if the whole is not to appear as a monstrosity. The man was right in his way; he chose to recognise nothing but the Mozartian Allegro; and in the strict tempo peculiar to that Allegro, he taught his pupils at the Conservatorium to play the Eroica!
Above, in strings and horns, the melody haunts us with a dim sense that takes us to the first languishing answer of the original legend. And the whole is strong-knit; for the very Allegro theme began in resolute mood of a like figure. A counter-strain rises to meet the main phrase. The whole episode is an intertwining of song in the vein of the first answer of motto.
And in the Fifth Symphony, one of those in which he called for no vocal performers, he nevertheless managed to vary and expand the conventional suite by preceding the first allegro with a march, and separating and relieving the gargantuan scherzo and rondo with an adagietto for strings alone. His material he organized fairly independently of the old rules.
Olga stooped swiftly forward and slipped a supporting arm around her. Violet drank a little, and turned to her, weakly sobbing. "Allegro, send him away! Send him away!" "Yes, dear, yes; he's going now," murmured Olga soothingly. Max gave the glass to Nick with the absolute detachment of the professional man, and proceeded to take Violet's pulse.
The second theme of the overture to "Oberon," which does not in the least partake of the character of the Allegro, very clearly shows this contrasted peculiarity. Technically, the composer has managed to merge the character of this theme into the general character of the piece.
