DEATH OF JANSEN, THE

COMPOSER.

Louis Charles .T.lnsen, the brother of Madame Bar-
telozzi (widow of the celebrated engraver of that name),
and uncle to Madame Vcstri,, was born at Aix-la-
Chapelle about the year 1774. He made his first
entree in London as a musician when quite a young
man, and with the brightes4prospects. When in the
zenith of his prosperity hepkept his own carriage—the
best. of souiety—and freqttently.had the honour of din-
ing with Ilia late Majesty Geoge IV., when Prince of
Wales. 'The late Dominica Corri, the composer, and
well-known singing-master, and also the late Maria
Clementi (both celebrated about the same period), were
among his early professional friends. Clementi, some
years the senior of Jansen, was the latter's
tutor, who also received some valuable instruction
from Dr. Haydn, when that eminent musician
was in London. Corn died in 1825, in not very
affluent circumstances ; Clementi, in 1832. after having
accumulated considerable wealth. Jansen, in conse-
quence of some sudden reverses—chiefly owing, he used
to say, to the elopement of his wife—gave way to the
most determined habits of intemperance, and which
seemed to attend him through life ; and so inveterate
was his course that no sort of assistance or admonition
could make on him the slightest impression. His com-
positions arc very numerous, many of which, written in
the early part of his life, display talent of no ordinary
merit. No composer, perhaps, has written more ; but
owing to his dissipated and irregular mode of living—
never having any settled habitation—his abilities were
often prostituted, and his productions were finished and
given to the public in such a careless and incorrect
manner (in order to, get the money from the cheap
publishers), that his name at last got in such bad odour
that the music-sel!yrs were compelled to substi-
tute some fictitious name for the real one. His best
efforts were his " Air Tyrolean," with scientific va-
riations for the pianoforte, and his grand vocal
scene from the sixth chapter of Revelations, " Death
on the Pale Horse," the former of which in publish-
ing he dedicated to his old master, Clementi, and
the latter to Mr. Braham, who, it is said, was so
much pleased with it, that he offered to sing it gratui•
tously at the oratorios, provided Jansen would make
some alteration, which the latter refusing to do, this
esteemed composition is at present unknown to the mu-
sical world, except in a very circumscribed circle. This
musician was at last reduced to a state of the greatest
distress, wandering through the streets (and not unire-
quently would he pass the night in them) literally co-
vered with rags and filth. But such was the singula-
rity of his nature—that when in health, and with only
the means in his pocket of affording him sustenance
throughout the day—he would scud along the p
"in the full blaze of a mid-day sun," assu tng
all the hauteur and consequence of a purse-proud el, ~ly,
though at the same time clad as the veriest bq. r tr.
His greatest horror appeared to be the thought of ,e-
-coming an inmate of a parish workhouse, which dis, :30
end griping poverty a few months ago drove him o.
