But Dresden reinforced it as only a court-ridden town can, a town whose inhabitants were, almost to a man, the sort of flunkeys who hang around a Court. Wagner did not wish to be kapellmeister on the contrary, wished most vigorously not to be kapellmeister.
Some years later he journeyed to Bonn to be near his cousin Bernhard, with whom he was intimate, and accepted a position in the Elector's orchestra as violinist. He later went to Vienna, then Hamburg, and afterward became Kapellmeister at Gotha. He composed all kinds of music, instrumental and vocal, symphonies, operas, etc.
The noise in the House was like a mob let loose. "Brünnhilde! Why doesn't she come? Bring her before the curtain! . . . Brünnhilde!" "I must go," he said, "I must speak to them tell them anything she is ill she is exhausted! Something it doesn't matter! I must go and quiet the tumult!" The Kapellmeister leaned for a moment against the background of the scenery; he looked at the door and listened.
Well, God bless you, Herr Kapellmeister, I must be going.” Daniel went up and rang the bell; Gertrude came to the door. It was dark; each could see only the outline of the other. “Oh, it’s you, Daniel!” she whispered, happy as happy could be. She came up to him, and laid her face on his shoulder. Daniel was surprised at the regularity of his pulse.
Then the Kapellmeister left the window, and the two men went out together. "Marta!" cried the girl, "I can sing! Did you hear him say it? Give me the soup quickly, while it is hot. I feel so strong so well!" She began taking the soup with one hand, and rubbing her cheek with the other: "Now, isn't it red, Marta? Look tell me!
Herr Kapellmeister it is begging to come out; let me try to sing, won't you?" She clung to his arm and her eyes plead with him: "Don't scold me. You have put 'Siegfried' off twice now because you had no bird. Let me try to-day." The Kapellmeister frowned. Her form was like a lily swaying against the trunk of an oak. "Tschut " he said, "Bewahre! Marta, go down and bring up her soup.
But there were a thousand and one reasons why they should not be acceptable to Siegmund Ochs. The first Kapellmeister, Tobias Pfeiffer, was on the point of retiring: and, in spite of his youth, Christophe had every chance of succeeding him. Ochs was too good a German not to recognize that Christophe was worthy of the position, since the Court was on his side.
"Catharine," she said, "just listen how that abominable bird, Paperl, screams again to-day. I am sure the noise will disturb the doctor, who is at work already." "Yes, Paperl is an intolerable nuisance," sighed Catharine. "I cannot comprehend why the Kapellmeister I was going to say the doctor likes the bird so well, and why he has brought it along from England.
I played him the concerto to-day at Cannabich's, and THOUGH KNOWN TO BE MINE it pleased very much. No one said that it was NOT WELL COMPOSED, because people here don't understand these things. Herr Kapellmeister Holzbauer went with me to-day to Count Savioli's. Cannabich was there at the time.
"Well now?" cried Velasco, "Was I clumsy this morning? Was anything the matter? Potztausend! why didn't you tell me?" His eyes gleamed suddenly under his brows and he twirled his fingers, toying with them nervously. "Gott Kapellmeister! Why didn't you tell me at once?"
