(161) A Remarkable Piano.

The Mason & Hamlin Piano is constructed in one particular dif-

ferently from any other : the strings are held by screws, not by pins.

As a result, the Mason & Hamlin Piano does not require one-quarter as much tuning as any other piano made.

This fact has been demonstrated by actual test, and verified by mechanics, tuners, and private individuals.

Piano tuning costs money. It costs only one-fourth as much to keep a Mason & Hamlin Piano in tune as it does to keep any other in tune. Consequently the expense of keeping a Mason & Hamlin Piano is reduced to one-fourth that of any other.

(164) Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in Salzburg on January 27,

1756, and died there on December 5, 1791. He was christened Joannes

Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus ; in signing earlier letters, he used to add his confirmation name, Sigismundus; his father used to translate Theophilus by Gottlieb. Mozart's first works, and those published in Paris in 1764, were signed J. G. Wolfgang; afterwards Wolfgang Amade. In his family he was always called Wolfgang. His father, Johann Georg Leopold Mozart, was a violinist and church composer, at one time Vizekapellmeister in the private orchestra of the Prince Bishop of Salzburg. He was a thorough musician, and gave his son one of the finest and most solid musical educations ever enjoyed by a composer of genius. The boy was one of the most astounding instances of musical precocity on record ; he began his pianoforte lessons at the age of three, and began to compose and take lessons on the violin soon after.

From 1762 to 1769 — that is, from the age of six to thirteen — he and his sister Marianne led the life of child prodigies ; it is noteworthy, however, that Wolfgang was known, almost from the beginning, quite as much as a composer as he was as a pianist. Their father took them on their first professional tour (January, 1762, to January, 1763) to Munich, Linz, Vienna, and Pressburg; on the second (June 9, 1763, to November, 1766) to

Munich, Augsburg, Schwetzingen, Mainz, Frankfort a. M., Coblentz, Aix-la- Chapelle, Brussels, Paris, London, Bourne, and back through the Hague, Amsterdam, Ghent, Haarlem, Mechlin, Paris, Lyons, Geneva, Lausanne, Berne, Zurich, Schaffhausen, Donaueschingen, and Biberach. The success of this tour was enormous, and at some of the concerts the programme was made up wholly of compositions by Wolfgang. On his return to Salzburg his father put him through Fux's Gradus ad Parnassum. In January, 1768, Wolfgang was taken to Vienna, where he was commis- sioned to write his first opera, la finta Semplice, which was, however, not performed ; but a smaller Singspiel by him, Bastien und Bastie?i?ie, was

(166) given there, and on his return to Salzburg, la finta Semplice was brought out at the Archbishop's palace, that worthy appointing the thirteen-year-old Mozart his Conzertmeister " without salary." His period of child-wonder- hood may now be considered as over, young as he was ; he was already recognized as a composer! In December, 1769, he set out with his father on his famous triumphal progress through Italy. He visited Innsbruck, Roveredo, Verona, Milan (where he met Piccinni and Giambattista Sam- martini, doing some work on counterpoint with the latter), Parma, Bologna (where he met and Padre Martini, with whom he worked at fugue), Florence (where he met the Marquis de Ligniville and Thomas

Linley), Rome, and Naples (where he met Jommelli) ; then back again through Rome (where the Pope conferred the order of the Sprone d' Oro upon him, "The same as Gluck's "), Bologna (where he was made Compos- itore to the Accademia Filarmonica, and received a voluntary testimonial from Padre Martini), Milan (where he wrote and brought out his Mitridate Re di Pontd), Turin, Milan again, Padua, Vicenza, Verona, arriving in

Salzburg on 1. March 28, 177 , He was soon elected (honorary?) Maestro di cappella to the Accademia Filarmonica in Bologna, and in August returned to Milan where his Ascanio in Alba completely eclipsed Hasse's Ruggiero ; Hasse was then seventy- two, and Mozart fifteen ; but the elder man's love and admiration for his boyish rival was in no wise lessened by this defeat. Next year his friend and protector, the Archbishop, died ; and his relations with the new Arch- bishop, Hieronymus, Graf von Colloredo, were of the most unpleasant description ; at last, in 1777, he applied for a discharge from service, which was granted. In September of this year he set out on, another tour, this time with his mother, visiting Munich, Augsburg, and Mannheim (where he became intimate with the poet Wieland, and fell in love with Aloysia Weber, daughter of the theatre prompter and copyist there, and first cousin of Carl Maria von Weber). His father was greatly enraged
