"Oh, that is a terrible woman, that Mrs. Lloyd Avalons! She was here again, to-day, to tell me about the programme. What does she know of music? She refuses the Haydn Variations and demands a Liszt Rhapsodie. If you are not firm with her, she will end by making you sing The Holy City with a flute obligato." Thayer laughed unfeelingly.
Sherwood has this touch; Tausig had it, and de Pachmann and Rubinstein most of all. It is not taught in Germany as it should be. The best American teachers are far ahead in this respect; in a few years the Europeans will come to us to learn these things." The first composition played to Dr. Mason was the G minor Rhapsodie of Brahms, with which, as it happened, he was unfamiliar.
They are bound to be there, for, even while they scoff, they like to keep an eye on Mrs. Lloyd Avalons for fear she may prove to be worth knowing after they have snubbed her; so play your best. It may lead to other engagements to come." "And the Liszt Rhapsodie?" he asked mournfully. "Bad, I admit." "It is detestable.

Some of the people are playing bridge, Betty Mercer is doing a cake walk to the RHAPSODIE HONGROISE Jim has no every-day music and the telephone is ringing. We have received enough flowers for a funeral somebody sent Lollie a Gates Ajar, only with the gates shut. There are no servants think of it, Mumsy. I wish you had made me learn to cook. Mr.
"When you have finished the new rhapsodie you will come and play it to us in America and in London also," he was urged. "Ah, London! I am almost homesick for London; it is beautiful there. I am fond of America, too. You know I lived there for some years; my son was born there; he is an American citizen.
Experience merely as such doesn't come ticketed and labeled, we have first to discover what it is. Kant speaks of it as being in its first intention a gewuehl der erscheinungen, a rhapsodie der wahrnehmungen, a mere motley which we have to unify by our wits.
