Shall I give you a satire; shall I devote myself to eulogy; shall I tear what they call the "whitewash" aside and expose them to the winds of excoriation; or shall I devote myself to an introspective, analytical divertissement?
"A Night in Spain" is a dashing reminiscence, not without Spanish spirit, and an "Album Leaf" is a divertissement of contagious enthusiasm. Ariel's songs, from "The Tempest," are given a piano interpretation that reaches a high plane. There is a storm prologue which suggests, in excellent harmonies, the distant mutter of the storm rather than a piano-gutting tornado.
The others are of little importance, and some of them, whose names we do not know, are all meadow and marsh, others are only small bushes. The pleasantest thing about them is, they afford an agreeable view and a variety to the traveller, and a little divertissement to those who go up and down the river; also some conveniences for fishing in the river, and other accommodations for the planters.
But the legendary romance of Schubert's life occurred when he was twenty-one, and a music teacher to Carolina Esterházy. He first fell in love with her maid, it is said, and based his "Divertissement
I have not quite finished the third act; and as there is no extra ballet, but only an appropriate divertissement in the opera, I have the honor to write that music also, but I am glad of it, for now the music will be all by the same master. The third act will prove at least as good as the two others, in fact, I believe, infinitely better, and that it might fairly be said, finis coronat opus.
"Yes, the 'Facheux." "Ah, yes, the 'Facheux; yes, I recollect. Well, I was thinking a prologue would admirably suit your divertissement." "Doubtless it would suit capitally." "Ah! you are of my opinion?" "So much so, that I have asked you to write this very prologue." "You asked me to write it?" "Yes, you, and on your refusal begged you to ask Pelisson, who is engaged upon it at this moment."
"Vairee well," suggested Felicia, "we shall make up a name. I shall be called Madame Folie no, Mademoiselle Folly will that suit? Then if it has been a mistake to put me on your program that will be a small joke, eh?" It looked very well indeed, "Vairee business-like" "Number 17 DIVERTISSEMENT Mademoiselle Folly in PRETENSES" She didn't even bother to tell them about it at home.
The music also was so far sketched out, that all I had further to do to it after my return from Paris, was to compose a little of the recitative, and to add the middle parts, the whole of which I finished with so much rapidity, that in three weeks my work was ready for representation. The only thing now wanting, was the divertissement, which was not composed until a long time afterwards.
But their ways were interesting, and Tarzan never tired of spying upon them, and from them he learned much more than he realized, though always his principal thought was of some new way in which he could render their lives miserable. The baiting of the blacks was Tarzan's chief divertissement.
Meeting soon afterwards another man with a bundle of weapons on his shoulder, the intrigued Huguenot gentleman asked him bluntly what he carried and whither he went. "It is for the divertissement at the Louvre tonight," he was answered. But in the Louvre the Queen-Mother and the Catholic leaders, the labours of preparation ended, were snatching a brief rest.
