Telephone, Philbert 3864 — Symphony No. 6, in F major, "Pastoral," Op. 68. Ludwig van Beethoven (Born at Bonn, December 16, 1770; died at Vienna, March 26, 1827.) This symphony—"Sinfonia postorale"—was composed in the coun- try round about Heiligenstadt in the summer of 1808. It was first performed at the Theater an der Wien, Vienna, December 22, 1808. The symphony was described on the programme as "A symphony 5" entitled Recollections of Life in the Country,' in F major, No. a (sic). All the pieces performed were by Beethoven: an Aria, Ah, perfido," sung by Josephine Kilitzky ; Hymn with Latin text written in church stylej with chorus and solos; Pianoforte Concerto in G major, played by Beethoven; Grand Symphony in C minor, No. 6 written in church style from the (sic) ; Sanctus, with Latin text Mass in C major, with chorus and solos; Fantasie for pianoforte solo; Fantasie for pianoforte, "into which the full orchestra enters little by little, and at the end the chorus joins in the Finale." The concert began at half-past six. We know nothing about the pe- cuniary result. M. Vincent d'Indy in his "Beethoven" (Paris, 1911) devotes sev- eral pages to Beethoven's love of nature. "Nature was to Beethoven not only a consoler for his sorrows and disenchantments ; she was also a friend with whom he took pleasure in familiar talk, the only intercourse to which his deafness presented no obstacle." Nor did Beethoven understand Nature in the dryly theoretical manner of Jean Jacques Rousseau, whose writings then were in fashion, for there could be no point of contact between the doctrines of this Calvinist of Geneva and the effusions of Beethoven, a Catholic by birth and by education. Nor did Beethoven share the views of many romantics about Nature. He would never have called her "immense, impenetrable, and haughty," as Berlioz addressed her through the mouth of his Faust. A little nook, a meadow, a tree, these sufficed for Beethoven. He had so penetrated the beauty of nature that for more than a dozen years all his music was impreg- nated by it.

"The ascending scales outpoured proved that, despite a physical law, fluidity can run uphill. The instrument ceased to be an instrument of percussion and merci- less hailstone articulation.
