Consider everything, dear Liszt, and before all manage to send me soon some some money. I want firewood, and a warm overcoat, because my wife has not brought my old one on account of its shabbiness. Consider! From Belloni I soon expect an invitation to Paris, so as to get my "Tannhauser" overture performed at the Conservatoire, to begin with.
It was there, nearer our own time, that Saint-Saëns's Symphonie avec Orgue and César Franck's Symphonie were played for the first time. But for a long time the Conservatoire seemed to take its name too literally, and to restrict its sphere to that of a museum for classical music. The Symphony in C minor was performed by them in 1808; the Heroic in 1811.
The man who has no music in his soul will hear none at the Conservatoire in Paris. Wordsworth sees with the inward eye, Southey too exclusively with the outward. The true poet projects visions and rhythms out from his brain, and gazes at and hearkens to them. The degree of the truthfulness to nature and the vividness of these projections is the measure of his poetic genius and capacity.
Nicholas, who was engaged in lighting a very black cigar, did not answer till the blue smoke was rolling up satisfactorily. Then he replied: "No, I left there a week ago. Anton is with Bruckner and one or two others, and didn't need me. But I well, there's a most annoying business about this Moscow affair!" "What? The new Conservatoire?" "Yes.
Lavender inwardly laughed at the magnificent audacity of the lad, and, seeing that Sheila hesitated, humored him by saying, "Well, we were thinking of calling on one or two people before going home to dinner. But I haven't seen you for a long time, Mosenberg, and I want you to tell me how you succeeded at the Conservatoire.
In 1892 Marteau carried off the first prize for violin playing at the Paris Conservatoire, and Massenet, the celebrated French composer, wrote a concerto for him. When Marteau played in Boston at the Symphony concerts he received twelve recalls, and immediately became the idol of the hour.
I counted few friends in this house, except Laroche, Coquelin, and Mounet-Sully the first two my friends of the Conservatoire and the latter of the Odeon.
I will tell you a few of the odd facts I picked up in long talks with my friend Monsieur D . of the Theatre Francais. The Conservatoire, their great school for actors, is, like almost everything else in Paris, more or less under Government control, the Minister of State being charged with its superintendence.
The morning was spent in the slums, where he gathered the information required; and the afternoon they whiled away in listening to a concert at the Conservatoire. Here he was welcomed by the fashionables of both sexes, notwithstanding his shabby costume, which he had donned in view of his morning's occupation.
This tour was cut short toward the end of 1874 by a telegram from Brussels offering him the position of professor of violin at the Conservatoire, during the illness of Vieuxtemps. He remained in Brussels until 1877, when, Vieuxtemps becoming convalescent, Wieniawski set forth once more on his travels.
