At night Haydn, accompanied by his friends, was wont to wander about Vienna by moonlight, and serenade his patrons with trios and quartets of his own composition. He happened one night to stop under the window of Bernardone Kurz, a director of a theatre and the leading clown of Vienna. Down rushed Kurz very excitedly. "Who are you?" he shrieked. "Joseph Haydn." "Whose music is it?" "Mine."
"She taught Paperl to whistle three airs from my husband's finest quartets, singing and whistling the music to the bird every day during three or four weeks for several hours, until Paperl could imitate them; and when my husband took leave of her, she gave him the parrot." "But the bird never whistles the tunes any more.
"We formerly had bars at which soldiers could buy pure liquor, instead of the poisonous stuff that is sold them in the native quartets of Indian cities, but we soon concluded that they defeated their own purposes. Being situated at convenient locations, soldiers would patronize them for the love of liquor, and induce others to do the same for the sake of companionship.
Joy, in truth, was precisely the emotion that Beethoven could never conjure up; it simply was not in him. Turn to the scherzo of any of his trios, quartets, sonatas or symphonies. A sardonic waggishness is there, and sometimes even a wistful sort of merriment, but joy in the real sense a kicking up of legs, a light-heartedness, a complete freedom from care is not to be found.
His constant habit of writing five hours a-day, had accumulated in a series of years a large collection of quartets, pianoforte music, church music, and symphonies, most of which were greatly admired for the spirit and elegance of their style, and the clearness and originality of their design.
But the reason modern French composers give the viola special attention is because France now is ahead of the other nations in virtuose viola playing. It is practically the only country which may be said to have a 'school' of viola playing. In the Smetana quartet the viola plays a most important part, and Dvořák, who himself played viola, emphasized the instrument in his quartets.
Somebody had made a speech about her; they had sung quartets and ended with a dance. "And how had she come home?" "The young ass had accompanied her to the front door." "Supposing anybody who knew them had seen her at three o'clock in the morning in the company of the young ass?" "Well, and what then? She was a respectable woman." "Yes, but she might easily lose her reputation." "Ah!
Dando, viola, and Mr. Lucas, 'cello, for the more perfect study and presentation of quartets and other chamber music. The tide of public favour had now set in, and other quartets were formed, but none reached such excellence as that headed by Blagrove, which was invited to play at the Philharmonic concerts, where it produced a great sensation.
In order that the works may follow as nearly as possible in their proper order, I have marked the numbers to be placed on each, as follows: Solo Sonata, Op. 22. Symphony, Op. 21. Septet, Op. 20. Concerto, Op. 19. I will send you their various titles shortly. The arrangement of Mozart's Sonatas as quartets will do you much credit, and no doubt be profitable also.
'You will hear from us. 'It shall have our best consideration. We have no knowledge of the Ms. in question. Yes, Peter, two valuable quartets have I lost, messing about with these villains." "I tell you what. I'll give you an introduction to Brahmson. I know him privately." "No, thank you, Peter." "Why not?" "Because you know him." "I couldn't give you an introduction if I didn't.
