The majesty of the phrase, unfolding itself with episodes of inexhaustible melody, is comparable with the finest things ever invented by religious writers. "How simple is the structure! Moses opens the attack in G minor, ending in a cadenza in B flat which allows the chorus to come in, pianissimo at first, in B flat, returning by modulations to G minor.

But I have not as yet suggested a fingering for the cadenza." "No matter. Ivan Gregoriev, Monsieur Rubinstein has brought us a new manuscript a barcarolle, you said, Anton? finished to-day, and brought here to be played to me. He writes a clear hand. Sit down, then, and let us hear you interpret it." "I, madame!" "I said so." Ivan flushed crimson, and then went white again.

Much of the music suffers from the conventionality to which Donizetti was a slave, notably the ridiculous mad scene, a delightfully suave melody ending with an elaborate cadenza divided between the voice and flute; but there are passages of real power, such as the fine sextet in the contract scene, and the gloomy air in which the hero calls upon the spirits of his forefathers.

I owe it to Genovese that I escaped for a few minutes from this old husk minutes, short no doubt by the clock, but very long by the record of sensation. For a brief spring-time, scented with roses, I was young again and beloved!" "But you are mistaken, caro Capraja," said the Duke. "There is in music an effect yet more magical than that of the cadenza." "What is that?" asked Capraja.

The piquant cadenza forestalls in the progression of diminished chords favorite effects of some of our more modern composers. The modulation from C sharp minor to D major and back again after the cadenza is very striking and equally beautiful." Elsewhere I have called attention to the Brahmsian coloring of this prelude. Its mood is fugitive and hard to hold after capture.

S. Duncan Baker, born August 25, 1855, still lives in the old family residence at Natchez, Miss. "Had this production or its companion piece, Thoughts of the Cadenza, been written by an old master for some other instrument and later have been adapted by a modern composer to the banjo, either or both of them would have been pronounced classic, barring some slight defects in form."

The metronome is the same in all editions, 100 to the eighth. Kullak rightly calls this lovely study "ein wunderschones, poetisches Tonstuck," more in the nocturne than study style. He gives in the bravura-like cadenza, an alternate for small hands, but small hands should not touch this piece unless they can grapple the double sixths with ease. Klindworth fingers the study with great care.

But a ray of light set Evelyn's portrait singing like a skylark background, face, hair, dress cadenza upon cadenza. When the blinds were let down, the music became graver, and the strain almost a religious one.

They use more judgment about applause than the French. They never interrupt a scene or even a musical phrase with misplaced applause because the soprano has executed a flamboyant cadenza or the tenor has reached a higher note than usual. Their appreciation is slow but hearty and always worthily disposed. The French are given to exaggerating an emotion and to applauding an eccentricity.

A certain cadenza introduced by a certain player into a certain violin solo did not please her; why, she could extemporise a cadenza far more in keeping with the spirit of the piece. After listening, with small attention to the matter, but much to the ardent speech and face of enthusiasm, Harvey made a quiet remark. 'I want you to decide very soon what we are going to do. 'Going to do?
