Mason & Hamlin Co. : I do not wish to leave America without telling you how happy I have been to know and to play your magnificent instruments. ' Your Pianos are quite remarkable for their expressive sonority, which Tias especially appealed to me, and which commends them to all those who see in music an art addressing itself to the heart rather than a pretext for virtuosity. One can sing on your Pianos^ and it is this which, to my mind, consti- tutes their chief charm. I want to tell you this in assuring you of my high esteem.

SMITH PATTERSON CO. Wlioleaale and Betall Jewellers, 52 Summer Street, BOSTON. *. Symphony in C minor . Amherst Webber (Born at Cannes in 1867 ; now living at London.) Mr. Webber is an Englishman. He studied music with Jean Louis Nicod6 at Dresden and with Ernest Guiraud at the Paris Conservatory. He afterwards took a musical degree as well as the degree of M.A. at New College, Oxford. For several years he was engaged at the Metro- politan Opera House, New York, and at Covent Garden, London, as lepetiteur. He was associated in the study of the later Wagnerian parts with Mme. Brema, Eames, Nordica, the de Reszke brothers, and others. He has composed the music of an opera, "Fiorella," in one act, libretto by Sardou and Gheusi, which was produced at the Waldorf Theatre, London, June 7, 1905 (Mme. de Cisneros, Miss Ferraris, Messrs. Pezzutti, Angelini-Fornari, and Pini-Corsi, chief singers) ; songs, vocal duets, and this symphony, which was performed for the first time at Warsaw by the Philharmonic Society in October, 1904. Mr. Webber says modestly of his symphony: "It consists of the usual four movements, and is written so much on traditional lines that a sjmopsis would be superfluous." We regret to say that through force of circumstances we are unable to give a detailed analysis of the symphony, which was composed at London about three years ago. It begins with a short introduction, molto sostenuto, C minor, 4-4, which is followed by an allegro, 2-4. This allegro is treated in orthodox form. The second movement, an Andante, A major, 3-4, has the character of a romance. The scherzo is a Presto, D minor, 3-4, with a trio in A major, poco meno mosso. ' The Finale, in C major, opens with a short prelude, which is followed by an allegro, in the course of which there is fugal development.

  • Don Juan from Norton.Pdf
    http://www.englishworld2011.info/ DON JUAN / 669 [MANFRED expires.] ABBOT He's gone—his soul hath ta'en its earthless flight- Whither? I dread to think—but he is gone. 1816-17 1817 Don juan Byron began his masterpiece (pronounced in the English fashion, Don Joo-nn) in July 1818, published it in installments beginning with cantos 1 and 2 in 1819, and continued working on it almost until his death. Initially he improvised the poem from episode to episode. "I have no plan," he said, "I had no plan; but I had or have materials." The work was composed with remarkable speed (the 888 lines of canto 13, for example, were dashed off within a week), and it aims at the effect of improvisation rather than of artful compression; it asks to be read rapidly, at a con- versational pace. The poem breaks off with the sixteenth canto, but even in its unfinished state Don Juan is the longest satirical poem, and indeed one of the longest poems of any kind, in English. Its hero, the Spanish libertine, had in the original legend been superhuman in his sexual energy and wickedness. Throughout Byron's version the unspoken but persistent joke is that this archetypal lady-killer of European legend is in fact more acted upon than active. Unfailingly amiable and well intentioned, he is guilty largely of youth, charm, and a courteous and compliant spirit. The women do all the rest. The chief models for the poem were the Italian seriocomic versions of medieval chivalric romances; the genre had been introduced by Pulci in the fifteenth century and was adopted by Ariosto in his Orlando Furioso (1532).

Through this passage of time many changes have been made in the original design. The early instruments shown in drawings on the tomb of Rameses II (1292-1225 B.C.) were richly decorated but lacked the fore-pillar. Later the "Kinner" developed by the Hebrews took the form as we know it today. The pedal harp was invented about 1720 by a Bavarian named Hochbrucker and through this ingenious device it be- came possible to play in eight major and five minor scales complete. Today the harp is an important and familiar instrument providing the "Exquisite Sound" and special effects so important to modern orchestration and arrange- ment.
