The road, which is little more than a mule-path, is cut in the face of the rock, and, far below, the river runs musically down to Lake Biguglia.
"Gold isn't copper." "Thank you," he said sarcastically. "I found that out a long time ago. I never could do anything like so much with a penny as I could with a sov. Here, Sergeant," he cried as the first water-bag was pulled up, dripping, and with the sound of the water that fell back echoing musically with many repetitions underground, in what seemed to be a vast place. "Water good?"
None has felt Franck's power, both morally and musically, more than M. Vincent d'Indy; and none holds a more profound reverence for the man whose pupil he was for so long. The first time I saw M. d'Indy was at a concert of the Société nationale, in the Salle Pleyel, in 1888.
Between the brother and sister there existed the most intimate understanding and affection, lasting through their entire lives. Both were musically gifted, possessing delicate hands and taper fingers that were often spoken of as if made expressly for playing Bach fugues.
And too many really gifted students take up orchestra playing, which no one can do continuously and hope to be a solo player. Four hours of study work may be nullified by a single hour of orchestra playing. Musically it is broadening, of course, but I am speaking from the standpoint of the student who hopes to become a solo artist. An opera orchestra is especially bad in this way.
Or, rather perhaps I should say that music bifurcated with Handel and Bach Handel dying musically as well as physically childless, while Bach was as prolific in respect of musical disciples as he was in that of children. What, then, was it, supposing I am right at all, that Handel distrusted in the principles of Scarlatti as deduced from those of Bach?
When you first do this you will, perhaps, cut your hand; but it is only at first that such an accident will happen to you. To tell when the scythe is sharp enough this is the rule. First the stone clangs and grinds against the iron harshly; then it rings musically to one note; then, at last, it purrs as though the iron and stone were exactly suited.
M. de Conzie had no great inclination to music, and even this was useful to me, for the hours destined for lessons were passed anyhow rather than musically; we breakfasted, chatted, and read new publications, but not a word of music.
All about was the sound of brooks musically rippling from the hills, and there was a chaste chill in the air, as befitted the time of day, for Maiden still the morn is, and strange she is, and secret, Her cheeks are cold as cold sea-shells.
All that Cortez has we have in double proportion I say it with pride. Cortez is no longer the metropolis of the region. Hope Well, I may say that Cortez is, of all Alaskan cities, the most fortunate, since it has realized its Hope." He laughed musically. "This town has come to stay; we intend to annex Cortez eventually.
