The performance was given by the staff band, which never leaves Batavia, and is said to be the best in the East Indies. I give the programme: FUR'S VATERLAND MARSCH C. Millöcker. WIENER FRAUEN WALZER J. Strauss. OUVERTURE JELVA F. Reisiger. GRUSS AUS DER FERNE INTERMEZZO J. Verhulst. MARSCH UND CHOR A. D. OPER. DIE ZAUBERFLÖTE W. A. Mozart. FANTAISIE LA REINE DE SABA Ch. Gounod.
He was in a few minutes addressed by the identical little gentleman who had recently been speculating with the three dukes. The little gentleman told him that he had heard with great pleasure that in Fantaisie they had no historians, poets, or novelists.
Among the numbers were a Beethoven sonata, entire; Chopin's Ballade in A flat major; Cesar Franck, Prelude, Fugue and Variations; a Mozart Fantaisie; Grieg Concerto, first movement; Weber's Concertstück, and Chopin's Scherzo in E. The recital was most instructive from an educational point of view.
The explanation was that rolls and fancy bread took too much time and there were not enough bakers left to do the work and inspectors see that the law is obeyed, whether amiable bakers think they have time or not. And people want light bread, curly rolls, "pain de fantaisie."
No sooner was this adieu uttered than four brawny lords of the bed-chamber seized the Turgot of Fantaisie by the shoulders, and carried him with inconceivable rapidity to the shore. His pupils, who would have fled to his rescue, were stifled with the embraces of their former partners, and their utilitarianism dissolved in the arms of those they once so rudely rejected.
On the corner of the Vaugirard and the Rue de Medicis one always finds a line of cabs, and presently they were bumping and bouncing away down the Rue de Seine to the river. Je fais ce que sa fantaisie Veut m'ordonner, Et je puis, s'il lui faut ma vie La lui donner sang Yvonne, deftly thrusting tierce and quarte with her fan to make Gethryn keep his distance.
Spirituelle was a most enchanting lady; she asked Popanilla how tall he really was, and whether the women in Fantaisie were as handsome as the men. Then she said that the Vraibleusians were the most intellectual and the most scientific nation in the world, and that the society at her house was the most intellectual and the most scientific in Vraibleusia.
Without another word, with water-pitcher on arm, he walked toward the Duchess. Saluting her with marked politeness, he said: 'A countryman of yours, madame, has objected to my carrying this objet de fantaisie, assuring me that it would occasion remarks from the Duchess of Brodneck. May I have the good fortune to know what she says of it?
There were only the old housekeeper and her handmaiden in the house, so that on the plea of not giving too much trouble I could indulge what my other half calls my fantaisie dereglee as regards meals that is to say, meals so simple that they could be brought out to the lilacs on a tray; and I lived, I remember, on salad and bread and tea the whole time, sometimes a very tiny pigeon appearing at lunch to save me, as the old lady thought, from starvation.
Among a large number of works for the pipe-organ, few are so marked by that purposeless rambling organists are so prone to, as the "Fantaisie." The "Melody and Intermezzo" of opus 20 makes a sprightly humoresque. The "Andante Religioso" of opus 17 has really an allegretto effect, and is much better as a gay pastorale than as a devotional exercise. The "Romanza" is a gem of the first water.
