"'Addio mia bella Napoli," suggested Willy, "or anything you like, Mr. Brambilla." "What does 'like' mean?" asked Franck. "I have heard the word so often." "Would you believe," Willy said to Frederick, "that that ox has been here over a year and doesn't know a word of English?" "'Deutschland, Deutschland über alles!" Franck began to sing. "Goodness gracious!" said Willy.
It is thus that the pervading melancholy almost compels the absence of a "slow movement" in his symphony. And so we feel in all his larger works for instruments a suddenness of recoil in the Finale. One can see in Franck, in analogy with his German contemporaries, an etherealized kind of "Tristan and Isolde," a "Paolo and Francesca" in a world of shades.
The organ class at the Conservatoire, where in 1872 Franck succeeded his old master Benoist, was for a long time, as M. Vincent d'Indy says, "the true centre for the study of Composition at the Conservatoire. Many of his fellow-workers could never bring themselves to look upon him as one of themselves, because he had the boldness to see in art something other than the means of earning a living.
When the agent translated this in French to Franck I gathered that the people were indignant over the advance in cost of trade goods, especially salt and calico. Salt is more valuable than gold in the Congo. Among the natives it is legal tender for every commodity from a handkerchief to a wife.
On the religious question, the States-General, led by Barneveld and by Francis Franck, expressed themselves manfully, on various occasions, during the mission of Buckhurst. "The nobles and cities constituting the States," they said, "have been denounced to Lord Leicester as enemies of religion, by the self-seeking mischief-makers who surround him. Why?
But Franck, doubtless, is now an angler in the Lake of Darkness, with Nero and other tyrants, for he followed after Cromwell, the man of blood, in the old riding days.
Artists are oftentimes so petty in their conduct toward each other that it is indeed refreshing to read with what infallible kindness you treated so many composers less fortunately situated than yourself. And not only Wagner and César Franck benefited by your good deeds.
I'll have to talk Spanish, and nobody'd have to look at Castillo more than once to know he was born up in some crack in the Andes." Which was one of the Lieutenant's jokes, for the Corporal, though a Colombian, was as white, sharp-witted, and energetic as any American on the Zone. "But no one to look at him would suspect that Fr French, is it?" "Franck." "Oh, yes, that Franck could speak Spanish.
In spite of her small area, she occupied the fifth rank among the great trading nations of the world, and the names of Maeterlinck, Verhaeren, César Franck and Meunier show that she had reconquered a great part of her former intellectual prestige. There is one striking resemblance between all periods of Belgian development.
This themal manner is quite analogous to the harmonic style of Franck, a kaleidoscope of gradual steps, a slow procession of pale hues of tone that with strange aptness reflect the dim religious light of mystic musing. More and more expressive are the stages of the first figures until we have a duet molto cantabile in the strings.
