MISCELLANEOUS
THE PRAISE OF PIANOS.
BY LEIGH HUNT


A Apianoforte is a most agreeable object.
1t is piece of furniture with soul in
it, ready TO wake at touch, and charm us
with invisible beauty. Open or shut, it
is pleasant to look at; but open IL looks
hest, smiling at us with its ivory, like the
mouth of a sweet singer. The keys of
pianoforte are, of themselves, an agreeable
spectacle-an elegance not sufficiently
priced for their aspect, because they are
so common, but well worth regarding even
in that respect. 1t is one of the adyan-
tages of this instrument to the learner,
that there is no discord to go through in
getting at tone. Tone is ready-made.
The finger touches the key, and there is
music at once. Another and greater ad-
vantage is thatit contains whole concert
within itself, for you may play with all
vour fingers, and then every one performs,
the part of a separate instrument. True,
it will not compare with real concert
with the rising winds of an orchestra; but
in no single instrument, except the organ,
can YOU have such combination ofsound,
and the organ itself cannot do for you
what the pianoforte does. There are su-
perfne ears that profess not to be able to
endure pianoforte after a concert; others
that always find it TO be out of tune; and
more who veil their insensibility to music
in general, by protesting against "eyer-
lasting tinkles,' and school girl affectati0n
or suIIiness. 1t is not pleasure, which
a man would select, to be obliged to fiji.
ness affectation of any sort. much less sui
leness, or any other absurdity With re
spect TO pianafortes not perfectly in tune
it is curious fact in the history Of sounds
that no instrument is ever perfectly
in tune. Even the heavenly charmer
musick, being partly of earth as well a
of heaven, partakes the common lmper
fection of things sublunary. 1t is there
fore, possible to have senses two fine 70
ii, if we are TO be always sensible to thi
imperfection; to
ssDie of an air in acromatick pain,"
and if we are to be thus sensible, who
TO Judge at what nice point of imperfe'
ton the disgust is to begin, where no di
gust is felt by the general ear? AS
those who, notwithstanding their pretend
ed love of music at other times, are so res
DIV to talk of '.jingIing" and ''tingling
whenever they hear pianoforte, or
poor girl at her lesson, they have real
no love of music whatever; and only pr
claim as much to those who understal
them. They are among the wiseacr
who are always proving their spleen
the expense of their wit.
