Liszt played these Variations often at his concerts, and even wrote orchestral accompaniments to them, which, however, were never published. A. d'Eichthal. This last work appeared at Paris first in an Album des Pianistes, a collection of unpublished pieces by Thalberg, Chopin, Doehler, Osborne, Liszt, and Mereaux.
M. Paul would have placed the hysteric debutantes between two fires terror of the audience, and terror of himself and would have inspired them with the courage of desperation, by making the latter terror incomparably the greater: M. Josef could not do this. Following the white muslin pianistes, came a fine, full-grown, sulky lady in white satin. She sang.
M. Marmontel does not forget to note it in his "Pianistes Celebres." He writes: In the marvellous art of carrying and modulating the tone, in the expressive, melancholy manner of shading it off, Chopin was entirely himself. He had quite an individual way of attacking the keyboard, a supple, mellow touch, sonorous effects of a vaporous fluidity of which only he knew the secret.
Two things in connection with this album may yet be mentioned namely, that Mereaux contributed to it a Fantasia on a mazurka by Chopin, and that Stephen Heller reviewed it in the Gazette musicale. Chopin was by no means pleased with the insertion of the waltzes in Schlesinger's Album des Pianistes. But more of this and his labours and grievances as a composer in the next chapter.
Didn't I tell you that I give piano lessons?" "Piano lessons? Really? Yes, of course ... you used to be very talented. If you hadn't left the Conservatoire when you did ... well, of course, you would not have become one of the great pianistes, you know, but for certain things you had quite a pronounced aptitude.
