I have a long letter almost every week from my flame also, Me du Deffand, but these are passions which non in seria ducunt. I should not be sorry to make another sejour there; but if I did, and it was with you, I should not throw away with old women and old Presidents, which is the same thing, some of those hours which I regret very much at this instant.
Salzburg imitated Vienna, and Vienna, in spite of Gluck, was still Italian in its sympathies, so far at any rate as opera seria was concerned. Mozart wrote his first opera, 'La Finta Semplice, for Vienna, when he was twelve years old. It would have been performed in 1768 but for the intrigues of jealous rivals and the knavery of an impresario.
The master, however, insisted on adding a lively chorus and ballet to the finale, according to the antiquated method of ending common to French opera seria. He was absolutely against finishing his work with a dismal churchyard episode; consequently the whole scene had to be altered.
The piece was Das Fischermadchen, a very good translation of Piccini's opera, with his music. As yet they have no original pieces, but are now anxious soon to give a German opera seria, and a strong wish prevails that I should compose it. The aforesaid Professor Huber is one of those who wish this. I shall now go to bed, for I can sit up no longer. It is just ten o'clock.
Me es indiferente que el grupo que ahora lo reclama sea pequeño e insignificante: aún más, me sería completamente indiferente si la mujer de este país no lo pidiera o deseara.
Por consiguiente, así como sería perfectamente ridículo en estos momentos declamar contra el aeroplano, por los riesgos y accidentes que pueden ocurrir y sería estúpido no seguir los pasos de otros gobiernos que utilizan sus ventajas, para la defensa o la agresión en caso de guerra o para abreviar las comunicaciones interiores en tiempos de paz, asimismo me parece ridículo, sino insensato, combatir el sufragismo en el terreno especulativo o más bien hipotético y no tomar la experiencia de otros paises como guía de nuestra conducta haciendo que el sufragismo forme parte de nuestras modernas costumbres e instituciones.
He proceeded to dig canals, and bring water on the one side by the Naviglio Sforzesca from the Ticino, and on the other by the Mora Canal from the Val Seria. Then, with the help of exports from Vicenza and Verona, he introduced the culture of the mulberry with excellent results, and planted large vineyards.
The opening years of the nineteenth century saw a singular evolution, if not revolution, in the history of opéra comique. Meanwhile opera in Italy was pursuing its triumphant course. The introduction of the finale brought the two great divisions of opera into closer connection, and most of the great composers of this period succeeded as well in opera buffa as in opera seria.
Rossini brought to his task a vein of melody as inexhaustible in inspiration as it was novel in form, a natural instinct for instrumental colour, and a firm conviction that brevity was the soul of wit. He leapt into fame with 'Tancredi, which was produced in 1813 and established his reputation as a composer of opera seria.
“Take the following English of a modern writer: “ ‘This is a serious consideration:—Among men, as among wild beasts, the taste of blood creates the appetite for it, and the appetite for it is strengthened by indulgence.’ “Translate it word for word literally into Latin, thus:— “ ‘Hæc est seria consideratio.
