He found that in the German schools much attention was given to music; he also found many books containing music and songs for children. Returning home, he brought several of these music-books, and placed them in the hands of Mr. Lowell Mason, then a noted composer, organist, and choir leader.
One of her most beautiful drawings in my possession is of a tree, marked to fall, beneath which she wrote: "Das ist das Loos des Schönen auf der Erde." Of another talent nothing now remains to us but her old music-books and memories of long evenings when she played Weber and Mozart.
They went on from one song to another, from the light to the severe, from scientific music to mere tunes and airs, turning over the old music-books together. "Yes, you are a little out of practice, but all you have to do is to rub off the rust. Your voice is finer than ever just like velvet."
A very happy day, indeed, it was when, returning from her visit to the Fleet, she found in her mother's sitting-room her dear grand rosewood piano, and every one of her music-books, which the kind-hearted tailor had purchased at the sale of Walker's effects. And I am not ashamed to say that Morgiana herself was so charmed, that when, as usual, Mr.
Hurst sang with her sister, and while they were thus employed, Elizabeth could not help observing, as she turned over some music-books that lay on the instrument, how frequently Mr. Darcy's eyes were fixed on her. She hardly knew how to suppose that she could be an object of admiration to so great a man; and yet that he should look at her because he disliked her, was still more strange.
Poor Joseph was not accustomed to read the signs of emotion, or he might have noticed that the hand that turned the leaves trembled curiously. "What are these?" she asked. "Where are you taking them?" "These be Mr. Ezra Gold's music-books," he answered. "He's gi'en 'em to his nevew, and I'm a-wheelin' of 'em home for him. Look here see what his lordship's gi'en to me."
Marmaduke and Captain Graham were talking in the front drawing- room, Lydia contrived to detain her guest in the inner apartment a tiny chamber, just large enough to hold a small cottage piano, a stand of music-books, and a couple of chairs. Miss Graham seated herself at the piano, and played a few bars with an absent and somewhat pensive air. "That is a mournful melody," said Douglas.
I thought she might as well know that you were coming. Of course you are already invited, good and plenty, to her house. Look in old music-books and see if you can't find 'Larboard Watch. If it turns out you can get away before the holidays, come down and go out with me to Freeford for Christmas. I have had some rather glum hours and miss you more than ever. Show yourself, that will help.
The three left the door and paced down Mellstock-lane and across the ewe- lease, bearing under their arms the instruments in faded green-baize bags, and old brown music-books in their hands; Dick continually finding himself in advance of the other two, and the tranter moving on with toes turned outwards to an enormous angle.
A bet was made, and Rosa immediately painted a landscape with figures on the lid, which was not only sold for a thousand scudi, but was esteemed a capital performance. On one end of the harpsichord he also painted a skull and music-books. Both these pictures were exhibited in the year 1823 at the British Institution.
