As he began to play, a door opened behind them, admitting Paula, the V. A. D. and two or three young doctors, who took their places in the corner about the piano. "Do you know this?" whispered Paula to the V. A. D., as she caught the strains of the Largo. "Yes. I used to play it with my brother." "Go to it, then," said Paula. But the V. A. D. hesitated. "Go on!
In the intricate path of deep musing we feel the mantle of a Schumann who had himself a kind of heritage from Bach. And thus we come to see the national spirit best and most articulate through the medium of ancient art. The main Allegro melody not so much grows out of the Largo prelude, as it is of the same fibre and identity. The violins sing here against a stately march of harmonies.
These expressions had spread in a rather largo circle of people who despised everything existing, and were seeking everything which was new and astonishing. Baron Emil was cultured, had read much. He read frequently Nietsche's "Zarathustra," and spoke of the coming "race," the super-humans. He spoke somewhat through his nose and through his teeth.
Of the squares, the finest is the Largo do Rocio; the largest, the Largo St. Anna. In the first, which is always kept tolerably clean, stand the Opera-house, the Government-house, the Police-office, etc. This, too, is the starting-place for most of the omnibuses, which traverse the town in all directions. The last-named square is the dirtiest in the whole town.
Does it not make an undying memory and bring to the face of age, long afterward, the smile of joy and gratitude? The next word? What should it be? Both wondered and held their tongues for fear one can not help thinking and really they had little need of words. The peal of a hermit thrush filled the silence with its golden, largo chime and overtones and died away and rang out again and again.
Once more, the undisciplined scholar found himself free and his own master! He profited by this to pay a visit to his birthplace in Scotland. His father was dead, but he had some business to regulate there. On reaching Largo he learned the arrival of William Dampier at St. Andrew. He set sail for that port immediately.
The problematical Andante precede d'un Largo was, no doubt, a juxtaposition of two of his shorter compositions, this title being chosen to vary the programme. From Mr. Hipkins I learned that at this Chopin played frequently the slow movement from his Op. 22, Grande Polonaise preceded d'un Andante Spianato. And now we will let Chopin again speak for himself.
However obvious may be the cause of the first phenomenon the sudden inordinate increase during a favourable year of a species always prolific the attendant one always creates astonishment: For how, it is asked, do these largo birds, seldom seen at other times, receive information in the distant regions they inhabit of an abundance of food in any particular locality?
Such is the fine coherence that the mere heralding rhythm is wrought of the first chords of the Largo, with their descending stress. And the expressive melody is of the same essence as the original sighing motto, save with a shift of accent that gives a new fillip of motion.
It is bonnie enough in the water; but it only flops and dies if you take it out of the water and put it on the dry land. I wish I had never seen Archie Braelands! If I hadn't, I would have married Andrew Binnie, and been happy and well enough." "You were hearing that he is now Captain Binnie of the Red-White Fleet?" "Aye, I heard. Madame was reading about it in the Largo paper.
