He had recently enjoyed a reasonable success with a perl formance of Die Entfiihrung, and now found himself engaged in s semi elopement of his own. His courtship of Costanza Weber was opposed by his father and not exactly welcomed by the mother of the« bride. However, the couple were married on the fourth of August. Meanwhile Leopold Mozart in Salzburg, although slow in sending his blessing, asked for new compositions — first, for a symphony for a Haffner family feast, and then for a symphony which we now know as the "Haffner" Symphony. With this Symphony Mozart sent a short; march, and this is now known as K. 408, No. 2. At the same time pre- sumably he wrote the first and third Marches. All of the Marches are written in a melodic sonata form. Even in his smaller works Mozart demonstrated his inexhaustible melodic facility. At the time Ditters- dorf, complaining somewhat wistfully to the Emperor Josef, wrote: V: • furniture • carpeting • lamps • accessories • interior planning contemporary furniture NEW INTERIORS 724-5050 no. main st. at prov.-pawt. line [6] I have never met a composer with such an astonishing wealth of ideas, wish he were not so extravagant with them. He gives the listener no reathing space." Popular music in the eighteenth century did not have, as now, separate category of composers. Mozart was called upon at any loment to provide any music whatsoever, from the most solemn Mass o the lightest stage entertainment; music for concerts, music for ancing. Music by the yard for social functions did not in the least other him. He provided it with enthusiasm, for he was incapable of urning out music automatically. Taste, resource, skill, enthusiasm Lever lapsed. He neither wrote above the heads of his audience, nor lid he demean his art. He knew the pulse of popularity, in the sense hat Johann Strauss in another century, and Offenbach, and Tchai- kovsky knew it. Often he gave his patrons not only surface charm, but mdying beauty of detail which, even if they were more attentive than hose at social gatherings are now, they must have missed altogether.

Mr. Haggler has kindly contributed the following note concerning his composition. nr^HE present work is the third of a series of works all with the same -"- title and reflecting the same preoccupations. Basically, the formi consists of a fairly involved movement followed by, and thrown into relief by, a shorter and simpler one using the same basic ideas. They are meant to complement each other by virtue of their uneven weights. The first movement begins slowly, and gradually and haltingly aspires; to the pulse of the second movement: this pulse is maintained through- out the remainder of the piece. Mr. Huggler was born in Rochester, New York. He studied at the Eastman School of Music, where he took his degree as Bachelor of Music in Musicology and Clarinet. He later studied with Otto Gom- bosi in Chicago, and with Dante Fiorello in New York. For several years he was second clarinetist with the Oklahoma City Symphony. In 1962-63 he was a Guggenheim Fellow in Rome, and following this, served in the Music Department at Cornell University. During the year 1964-65 he was awarded a Rockefeller grant which allowed him to work closely with the Boston Symphony Orchestra as composer-in- residence. At the present time he is on the faculty of the Music Depart- ment at M.I.T. He is also teaching at the University of Massachusetts at Boston, and at the Longy School of Music.

    Volume XXXV, Number 2 Fall 2017 Re-dating the Premiere of Brahms’s String Sextet in G, Op. 36 In the record of first performances of Brahms’s music, two entries have always attracted attention, not least that of Ameri- can musicians.
