Cornelius and Tausig had again been to see me, but I had to work off my resentment against them both for the fit of real ill- humour their behaviour had caused me in the previous summer. This had happened when I expected the Bulows and the Schnorrs to stay with me together at Biebrich, and my warm interest in these two young friends, Cornelius and Tausig, led me to invite them too.
'It's a fact, and what's more, Iringer once taxed Tausig to his face with it; told him he knew there was such a document in existence, signed by the great Tausig himself, by Heffelfinger of the Pacific circuit; by Dixon of Chicago, and Weinstock of New Orleans, binding themselves to force us fellows to the wall, and specifying the per cent. of profit each one of 'em should get on any increase of business; to blacklist every man and woman that worked for us; to buy up our debts and even bring false attachments, when "
Chopin was the greatest interpreter of Chopin, and following him came those giants of other days, Liszt, Tausig, and Rubinstein. While he never had the pupils to mould as had Liszt, Chopin made some excellent piano artists. They all had, or have the old guard dies bravely his tradition, but exactly what the Chopin tradition is no man may dare to say.
We do know, however, that the march, when isolated, has a much more profound effect than in its normal sequence. The presto is too wonderful for words. Rubinstein, or was it originally Tausig who named it "Night winds sweeping over the churchyard graves"? Its agitated, whirring, unharmonized triplets are strangely disquieting, and can never be mistaken for mere etude passage work.
"I am artiste, Monsieur Obermuller," I gutturaled like Mademoiselle Picotte, who dances on the wire. "I moost have about me those who arre who arre congeniale " "You monkey!" he laughed. "Then, when Tausig comes to buy your contract " "We'll tell him to go to thunder." He laughed. Say, Mag, that big fellow is like a boy when he's pleased. I guess that's what makes it such fun to please him.
What will become of me in the course of this year is quite uncertain. First of all I shall see you in Paris. Your WEYMAR, April 26th, 1861. An answer would be too late to find me here. PARIS, June 15th, 1861. A few days ago I received a telegram from Leipzig for Tausig, in which he was requested to send his address.
By this I mean a well chosen incision the cesura, and a lingering "letting in air," Tausig cleverly called it which in no way impairs rhythm and time, but rather brings them into stronger relief; a LINGERING which our signs of notation cannot adequately express, because it is made up of atomic time values.
He looked like an unhealthy little frog, with his bald head, his thin-lipped mouth that laughed, while the wrinkles rayed away from his cold, sneering eyes that had no smile in them. "I I wouldn't like to make an enemy of a man like Obermuller, Mr. Tausig." "Bah! Ain't I told you he's on the toboggan?" "But you never can tell with a man like that.
Don't you know a representative of the mighty T. T. when you see him? Can't you see the Syndicate aureole about his noble brow? This gentleman, Nance, is the great and only Max Tausig. He humbleth the exalted and uplifteth the lowly or, if there's more money in it, he gives to him that hath and steals from him that hasn't, but would mighty well like to have.
But she knew a cure for this last sorry a way she'd help him later; and when she danced out into the hall she was the very happiest burglar in a world chock full of opportunities. Oh, she was in such a twitter as she did it! All that old delight in doing somebody else up, a vague somebody whose meannesses she didn't know, was as nothing to the joy of doing Tausig up.
