Students of Bach are apt, in the beginning, to play, say, the finale of the G minor sonata, the final Allegro of the A minor sonata, the Gigue of the B minor, or the Preludio of the E major sonata like a mechanical exercise: it takes constant study to disclose their intimate harmonic melodious conception and poetry! One should always remember that technic is, after all, only a means.
Gigue WAS there very certainly there, and all there. Louis Gigue, renowned throughout the world for his culture of the human voice divine, had arrived the previous day direct from Paris, and had exploded into the Manor as though he were a human bombshell.
Concerts are quite endless during the season, and singers are always pestering you to take tickets. It's quite too much for anyone who is not a millionaire." Gigue did not catch this flow of speech but Cicely heard it, "Well, I shall never ask anyone to 'take tickets' to hear me!" she said, laughing. "A famous prima donna never does that kind of thing!"
Wholly lacking in enthusiasm for any art, they almost resented the manner in which Cicely was thus brought forward as a kind of genius, a being superior to them all. Gigue sniffed the air, as though he inhaled offence in it. Then he shook his finger with a kind of defiance. "Mais pas en Angleterre!" he said "Ze petite va commencer a Milan- -St. Petersburg Vienna! Zen, ze Inglis vill say 'Ha ha!
You will not find it in the low haunts of Paris where you are so well known, where your name is a byword as that of an English 'milord' who degrades his Order!" "What do YOU know of the low haunts of Paris?" he queried with a cold laugh "Is Louis Gigue your informant? "I daresay Louis Gigue knows as much of you as most men do," she replied, quietly "But I never speak of you to him.
"I can play the lute, the violin, the flageolet, the harp, the syrinx and the regals," the other replied; "also the Spanish penola that is struck with a quill, the organistrum that a wheel turns round, the wait so delightful, the rebeck so enchanting, the little gigue that chirps up on high, and the great horn that booms like thunder." Bracciolini said: "That is something.
'Dress, in the full sense of the word, implies vanity and all its attendant sins. Gigue says you can always pick out a very dull, respectable woman by the hidecmsness of her clothes. I expect Miss Tabitha is dull." "She is most unquestionably! But I'm afraid she is only a reflex of country life generally, Cicely. Country life IS dull, especially in England."
"Do you think an artistic career a good thing for a woman?" he asked, with a slight touch of satire in his voice as he put the question. Gigue glanced up at him quickly and comprehendingly. "Ah, bah! Pour une femme il n'y'a qu'une chose l'Amour!" he replied "Mais au meme temps l'Art c'est mieux qu'un mariage de convenance!"
"It's rather long," she said thoughtfully, as she finished it. "But for Gigue it is necessary to explain fully. I hope you can make it out?" Poor Mrs. Tapple quivered with inward agitation as she took the terrible telegram in hand, and made a brave effort to rise to the occasion. "Yes, Miss," she stammered, "Louis Gigue G.i.g.u.e., that's right yes at the Conservatory, Paris."
Brahms frequently uses the word sostenuto where others would use ritardando." Of the Clavier Stücke, Op. 76, Von Bülow said: "The Capriccio, No. 1 must not be taken too fast. First page is merely a prelude, the story begins at the second page. How wonderfully is this melody formed, so original yet so regular. Compare it with a Bach gigue.
