He handed to Barton a copy of his own volume, in its gray paper cover, "Les Tatouages Étude Médico-Légale". "Certainly," said Barton. "I wrote it when I was in Paris I had plenty of chances of studying tattooing in the military hospitals." "I have not read it myself," said old Mr. Wright, "because I am not acquainted with the French language; but my son tells me it is a work of great learning."
The real anguish of his heart is not expressed in the nocturnes but in the preludes and études, strange as these names may seem for such pathetic effusions of his heart. The étude, opus 10, No. 6, seems as if it were in a sort of double minor; as much sadder than ordinary minor, as ordinary minor is sadder than major. Chopin had abundant cause to be melancholy.
To give but one example Cambrai made its first revolution in 907, and, after three or four more revolts, it obtained its charter in 1O76. Total, 223 years of struggles before conquering the right to independence. Lyons from 1195 to 1320. See Tuetey, "Etude sur Le droit municipal... en Franche-Comte," in Memoires de la Societe d'emulation de Montbeliard, 2e serie, ii. 129 seq.
She has composed several piano suites and a concert étude, besides a number of successful songs. Adele Lewing is another pianist residing in America who has produced vocal and instrumental pieces.

'Natalya Alexyevna is well, I am glad to say. But we have already passed the road that turns off to Darya Mihailovna's. Allow me to bid you good-bye. Alexandra Pavlovna stopped. 'But won't you come in? she said in a hesitating voice. 'I should like to, indeed, but I am afraid it is late. Darya Mihailovna wishes to hear a new etude of Thalberg's, so I must practise and have it ready.
The "Scenes de la Vie Privee," of which the best-known novels are "Le Pere Goriot" , "La Messe de l'Athee" , "La Grenadiere" , "Albert Savarus" , "Etude de Femme" , "Beatrix" , and "Modeste Mignon" , Balzac connects with childhood and youth.

All these things combine to give the composition a wholly peculiar coloring, to render its flow somewhat restless and to stamp the etude as a little characteristic piece, a capriccio, which might well be named "Inquietude." As regards technics, two things are to be studied: the staccato of the chords and the execution of the cantilena. The chords must be formed more by pressure than by striking.
The etude whose technical end is the rapid execution of widely extended chord figurations exceeding the span of an octave is to be played on the basis of forte throughout. With sharply dissonant harmonies the forte is to be increased to fortissimo, diminishing again with consonant ones. Pithy accents! Their effect is enhanced when combined with an elastic recoil of the hand."
