There is nothing of the gorgeous architectural splendours of Bach, nothing of Bach's depth nor high religious ecstasy. His passion, joy and sorrow are all milder than Beethoven's. He has little of Beethoven's grandeur nor feeling too deep for tears or words.
She never touched musical filth, which she recognized as swiftly as dirt on a body or corruption in a soul. "We must have Bach's 'Heart ever faithful," said Canon Wilton strongly, when Rosamund, after much singing, was about to get up from the piano. Almost joyfully she obeyed his smiling command.
The consistory of the church were looking for a capable organist and Bach's request to be allowed to try the instrument was readily granted. As soon as they heard him play they offered him the post, with promise of increasing the salary by a contribution from the town funds.
When at length he made his debut here in the Concert Spirituel, he sang Bach's scena, "Non so d' onde viene" which is, besides, my great favorite, and then for the first time I really heard him sing, and he pleased me that is, in this class of music; but the style itself, the Bernacchi school, is not to my taste. He is too apt to fall into the cantabile.
I have been as much moved by some piano playing I have heard as by the violin playing of some of the greatest violinists. "And variety, nuance in expressive playing, is largely a matter of the player's mental attitude. Bach's Chaconne or Sicilienne calls for a certain humility on the part of the artist.
She still continued her regular studies with Jokisch, until, acting on the advice of her friends, she obtained a hearing from Ysaye, and played for him Bach's prelude and fugue in G minor.
But at least his life, like Bach's and that of many another, had proved that marriage is not always and necessarily a failure when set to music. The genealogy of the Bachs shows them to have been in the habit of marrying at least two or three times apiece, and of being very prolific. Johann Ambrosius Bach, the father of "the Father of Modern Music," had a twin brother, Johann Cristoph.
It is the most beautiful interior in all the world, so great, so sombrely dignified, so perfectly balanced and filled with such wonderful music, brimming with music just as crystal water brims in a bowl of crystal. The other day I went there, up into a little gallery high up under the dome, to hear Bach's Passion Music, the St. Matthew Passion.
We learn the elements of the fugue from Sebastian Bach's Wohltemperirte Klavier, the piano from the works of Schumann and Liszt, and harmony and instrumentation from Richard Wagner. All too often we waste our efforts, just as singers who learn rôles and rush on the stage before they know how to sing ruin their voices in a short time.
She believed that Canon Wilton had given the organist a hint that he would have an attentive hearer, for he was playing one of Bach's greatest preludes and fugues. Father Robertson stayed on in his place. All the rest of the small congregation drifted away through the archway in the rood-screen and down the steps to the nave.
