The young virtuoso in the early stages of his career receives about one hundred roubles an appearance in Russia, while the mature artist receives from 800 to 1000. The rouble, while having an exchange value of only fifty cents in United States currency, has a purchasing value of about one dollar in Russia. The Russian pianist is always famed for his technical ability.
P. was a man of many interests, combining the characters of the man of business, man of pleasure, and virtuoso, being skilled in music and a collector of books, manuscripts, and pictures, and he was Pres. of the Royal Society for two years.
Now the quartet as a whole has established itself in the virtuoso field using the word virtuoso in its best sense. As premier violiniste of the Flonzaley's I study and prepare the interpretation of the works we are to play before any rehearsing is done.
As I was riding with Tarleton towards Chelsea, one day, he asked me if I had ever seen the celebrated Mr. Salter. "No," said I, "but I heard Steele talk of him the other night at Wills's. He is an antiquarian and a barber, is he not?" "Yes, a shaving virtuoso; really a comical and strange character, and has oddities enough to compensate one for the debasement of talking with a man in his rank."
He put his head on one side and played a few bars, and the couples posed themselves expectantly. "Hold on a bit!" the virtuoso called out. "It's a tidy bit draughty here." He put the concertina on his knees, fumbled in his tail-pocket, and drew forth a tasselled Turkish cap, which majestically he assumed; the tassel fell over his forehead.
But a Tonkünstler, a 'tone-artist, though he must have the virtuoso technic in order to play Brahms and Beethoven concertos, needs besides a spiritual insight, a deep concept of their nobility to do them justice the mere technic demanded for a virtuoso show piece is not enough. "You ask me what 'Violin Mastery' means in the string quartet.
"But an ordinary hermit wouldn't be able to play like a virtuoso," objected Amy. "Well, nobody said he was an ordinary hermit," retorted Mollie. "To change the subject before you girls get to the hair-pulling stage," laughed Betty, as she turned Nigger's head toward the ranch, "I wish we could do something for Dan Higgins and Meggy.
The virtuoso whose importance must not be underrated, and who is worthy of honour when he is a reverential and sympathetic interpreter of genius has too often taken a lamentable part, especially in Latin countries, in the degrading of musical taste; for empty virtuosity makes a desert of art.
But he found that he had made a mistake, and, after hearing it played by Tausig, confessed that the virtuoso had infused into the 'nine pages of enervating music, of one and the same long-breathed rhythm, so much interest, so much motion, so much action, that he regretted the long piece was not longer."
During this youthful tour of Belgium, he met a child artist, a year or two older than himself, a singer, also touring as a virtuoso. The little girl was called Pauline Garcia, who later became famous as Mme. Pauline Viardot Garcia. When César was twelve he had learned what they could teach him at the Liège Conservatory, and finished his studies there.
