MUSIC IN AUSTRIA.—In the schools attached to the con-
vents music is cultivated equally with the classics and foreign
languages- There are some abbeys where, besides the usual
sided by the students, novices, and
. united to their instru-
sd monotonous such as

mental music

theirs, where the bell and the ,dial regulate their very act,
music may well he termed the poetic side. In the convents
on the Danube every species of music is cultivated. Haydn's
and Mozart's instrumental works are performed there with a
degree of accuracy not to be surpassed in the drawing-rooms
of Vienna. The brothers meet together several times a
week for the purpose of executing these works, nor do they
confine themselves exclusiiely to Haydn and Mozart, for
their repertory is diversified with Beethoven, Sphor, Weber,
Hummel, Romberg, Mayseder, Ries, and Fesca. They are
well acquainted with, and execute with the greatest skill,
foreign productions, such as the inspirations of Bocherini,
Viotti, Kreutzer, Rode, Baillot, and Clementi.—Mainzer's
