For all that we speak of the sacrosanct uniqueness of a given art work, we know very well, though we do not always admit it, that not all productions are equally intractable to transference. A Chopin étude is inviolate; it moves altogether in the world of piano tone. A Bach fugue is transferable into another set of musical timbres without serious loss of esthetic significance.
The nest is then definitely abandoned, and another one prepared. "Étude sur l'instinct et les metamorphoses des Sphégiens," Ann. Sci. Nat., 1856.
In a few months his playing degenerates so it is hardly fit to listen to. This is the result of constant fast playing." How do you keep technic up to the standard? "If one is far advanced a few arpeggios and scales, or a brilliant étude will put the hand in condition.
Among her most important solo works are a sonata, an Étude Symphonique, a Valse Caprice, a Guitarre, an Arabesque, six Études de Concert, five Airs de Ballet, containing the well-known Scarf Dance, six Romances Sans Paroles, and six humourous pieces. She has also written a few selections for violin and piano. It is undoubtedly her songs that have made her fame so widespread.
Each étude must also be transposed, for it would never do to play an étude twice in the same key for my father. So I may say that whatever I could perform at all, I was able to play in any key. "For one year I did nothing but technic, and then I had my first piece, which was nothing less than the Capriccio of Mendelssohn, Op. 22.
Where the cantilena appears, every melodic tone must stand apart from the tones of the accompaniment as if in "relief." Compare with this etude the introduction to the Capriccio in B minor, with orchestra, by Felix Mendelssohn, first page. Aside from a few rallentando places, the etude is to be played strictly in time.
If the church really believed that God would let them into an experience where sonatas and minuets and bridal marches and "Mondnacht" and the "Etude in C sharp minor" would be heard all the time, and free of charge, all the bishops and the big preachers and little evangelists and exhorters and ministers would be besieged by a grand eager throng of people, crying with one accord, "What must I do to be sanctified?"
"Toute leur etude etait de se complaire et de s'entr'aider." * PAUL ET VIRGINIE. At the foot of a steep, slippery, white hill, near Dunstable, in Bedfordshire, called Chalk Hill, there is a hut, or rather a hovel, which travellers could scarcely suppose could be inhabited, if they did not see the smoke rising from its peaked roof.
She remembered that now and she set her teeth. "Vouloir c'est pouvoir." She had proved the saying true again and again; she must prove it true to-night. She willed her release; she would somehow obtain it. Directly she finished the Etude she got up from the piano. "You play that wonderfully well," Dion said, with a sort of hard recognition of her merit, but with no enthusiasm.
Miss Martin bore, wherever she went, an octave-study by Liszt, and flaunted it in the faces of her friends: and Miss Moses, who had been under Bendel, could not say two sentences without throwing in: "That Chopin ETUDE I studied last," or: "The Polonaise in E flat I'm working at;" for, beforehand, she too had been a humble performer of Haydn and Bertini.
