think of Master Sambo, who, in running down
HILL could not stop for three consecutive nights and
days, till at last comes the final stroke, because
every beginning necessarily must have an end.
This kind OF writing Is undoubtedly very orlRi-
nal, In so tar as nobody has done 1t before him.
So likewise in his Instrumentation. Meyerbeer,
and other great composers, have produced aston
ishiDg effects in accompanying a bass voice with
trombone alone. Ole Bull, always original in his
limitations, has applied the same accompaniment
to violin solo, as in his adagi0 doiOyoso The ef-
feet IS novel and striking, but will not lind many
admirers amongst those who are accustomed to
the usual concerto orchestral accompanies ts.-
Similar combinations have been resorted 10 in the
Instrumentation Of the " Falls Of Niagara" But
why this composition has been go coldly received,
on the first nlghi,l cannot understand 1t istrue 1t
Is OF Ole Bulls weaker compositions, not absolute
ly but relatively. He intended to lnti oduce it as
descriptive VIOLIN concerto symph0nta, and in
this he necessarily must fail. The concerto
spoiled the symphonic and the symphonic
did not improve the concerto, which Is, in
many respects, the fault OF the bad orchestra.
He, himself, played it admirably, with wonder
fu perfection OF mechanism. The individual ideas
are beautiful, but they do not follow each other
properly. How, for instance, can be explained the
Introduction OF Long time ago" In looking on
Niagara, the mind is necessarily lost in the contem-
platlon OF the miracle; very few will think OF some
thing else than OF the work. unless religious feel
ing call upon us TO adore its Almighty Creator.
repeat il, cannot explain to myself lis lukewarm
reception. The New York audiences now making
enrs drmes In musical taste, have extolled to the
SKIES worse compositions; and really think II was
mere chance" as the "Sotude OF the Prairies,'
which is much less comprehended after first
hearing, met with the most enthusiastic applause.
Should the SILENCE on one side, and the applause
on the other, really proceed from a sound musical
judgment, il would be very complimentary erie
terion of American taste. The Niagara" Is IN
different and the "Sotude'' is a composition
OF which the poet OF mothers prayer can be
proud.
On Ole Bulls success in America, have only
one word to say. He is with Sivory, who has only
made his appearance since the last three years, the
only successful disciple Of Pagann. The pecu-
iariIles Of the Pagannanstyle are eminenty calcu-
lated for the ear OF the public. Ole Bulls success
in America Is therefore, only the continuation of
Pagannl's former success in Europe. U.
