Dermott made a dramatic pause, relishing his climaxes. "And then she died." "So, for his daughter's sake" there was a curious hesitancy in his speech just here, but he carried it off jauntily "his daughter, a primrose girl and the love of my life, I've come to ask that you be a bit lenient with him, Mr.
By all the laws of climax the incident should close here; no writer would dream of dragging it out further, but unfortunately in real life there is little respect for climaxes, and that vexatious Treaty coquetted with her suitors once more. Really it was enough to make anybody lose patience altogether.
Perhaps it does nightly, certainly it does daily and raw much raw sampling is not succored by the sun. A wonder in a break, a whole wonder and more rascality in a slight waste and even that so infinitely noised even that is not a disaster in splendor and more titled climaxes more titled climaxes have miserable second voices than any voices and away is more than the resemblance that is necessary.
Yet life and movement are instinct in every part, for though the action is consigned to but a few,—these form a series of small climaxes through the entire circumference of the group and we feel in another moment that the passive expressions will in their turn be exchanged for the mad ribaldry of laughter which has seized their brethren.
Despite the triviality of Da Ponte's book, the impetus of the music carries along the action at a tremendous speed; the moments of relief occur just when relief is necessary, and never retard the motion; the climaxes are piled up with incredible strength and mastery, and have an emotional effect as powerful as anything in "Fidelio" and equal to anything in Wagner's music-dramas; and most stupendous of all is the finale, with its tragic blending of the grotesque and the terrible.
They appeal only to the mind, not to the passions nor to any love of sensation. In many of them he deliberately avoids climaxes and all varieties of artificial effect. He would be simply incomprehensible to the millions of Americans who delight in musical comedy and in pseudo-historical romance.
It was a crisis, and intuitively she recognized it one of those emotional climaxes that sear and burn and leave their scars forever. The powerful horse bounded up the steep grade without slackening, but at the top she checked it, and from the edge of the bench stood looking down upon the crude town sprawling on the flat beneath her.
But who would suspect a lad of such a formal sense even if it is only imitative of such clear development, such climaxes, and such a capital coda! The chief test of the music would you listen to it if you did not know who composed it? is met. The overture is entertaining, if not very original. Truly a wonder child.
The cast of the melody, the matchless beauty and swing of the rhythm, his ingenious treatment of harmony, and the chromatic changes and climaxes through which the motives are developed, make up a new chapter in the history of the piano-forte. Liszt, in his life of Chopin, says of him: "His character was indeed not easily understood.
Still it must have been good for Haydn to hear such a rolling river of tone as the "Amen" of The Messiah, the springtide joyfulness and jubilation of "And the glory of the Lord," the white heat of "And He shall purify," and "For unto us a Child is born," with its recurring climaxes of ever-increasing intensity.
