As small a proportion as possible of my space has been devoted to technical matters, and I have only used text-book terminology where no other served to explain what Haydn did in building up the symphony form. This spade-work of his Esterhazy period was of the greatest importance to himself, to Mozart and to Beethoven.
It was midnight, and so far everything had gone on without a hitch. The Emperor and Empress seemed delighted; the Ambassador was radiant; every one was enchanted with the magic of the spectacle. The ball was opened with a quadrille, in which the Queen of Naples danced with Prince Esterhazy, and Prince Eugene de Beauharnais with Princess Pauline de Schwarzenberg.
Must I bow my head like a slave to this marriage, while my heart proclaims an eternal NO!" The old count wiped his eyes. "I fear there is no hope, my child. I have done all that I could." "What have you done?" "I first appealed to Count Esterhazy; but he declared himself to be too intoxicated by your beauty to resign you.
Tell her that she has blasted the lives of two human beings tell her that we are two galley-slaves, pining for liberty." Count Esterhazy shook his head. "The empress will never allow us to be divorced," said he, "for I have too often assured her that I was happy beyond expression, and she wouldn't believe me if I came with another story."
The foreign sovereigns were represented by especial ambassadors: the King of Spain by the Duke of Villa-Hermosa, the Emperor of Austria by Prince Esterhazy, the King of England by the Duke of Northumberland, the Emperor of Russia by the Prince Wolkonski, the King of Prussia by General de Zastrow.

Mr. Geigermann is the well-known Harlem dry-goods merchant. Louis Kleiman folded the paper and laid it on the table. "That's the way it goes, boys," he said in heightened tones, for by this time he had caught sight of Morris.
"I said that to disincline you to marry me." "I do not believe you," said Esterhazy, calmly. "You have invented this story of your love for that end; but it is a falsehood, for you are as cold as an icicle." "Oh, I wish that I were. For this love is my greatest misfortune. Look at me, count. Does this seem like dissimulation?"
Prince Esterhazy, crossing a bar of sunshine, was the most prodigious rainbow of all. He was covered with diamonds and pearls, and as he dangled his hat, it cast a dazzling radiance all around....
