/ Music AND L. DE- MEYER I'VE are pleased to learn
that at the request Of his numerous admirers, NJ L.
De Meyer, the lion pianist Of the age, has con.
sented TO give another concert in this city, previous
TO his departure for the South. All those who have
heard him on one of his famous Erards," as well
those who have not yet Listened to his mastery
performance, will be highly gratified with this an
nouncement.
There seems now to be quite musical fuor in
the city TIE mighty magic test in music lies in
the highest manifestations of musical composition,
and must command the wonder and reverence
OF all who understand, or even observe its ope-
ration. The power OF giving birth TO innumer-
able forms OF exquisite MISUNDERSTANDING the
ear and stirring every emotion Of the soul-agtat
ing us with fer or horror-animatlng with
ardor and enthusiasm filling US with joy-melting
us with griet-now lulling to repose, amidst the
luxurious calm OF earthly contentment-now borrow
ing wings more ethereal than the lark's, and watt
ing to the gate of heaven, where its notes seem
to blend undlstingushably, with the songs Of supe-
nor beings-this is facultyt that bears unequvo-
cal mark OF a divine descent, and which nothing
rank. But when to this is added mastery over the
mysterious combinations Of harmony, spirit that
can make subservient to its own object immense
masses of dissimilar and sometimes dscordant
sounds, and, like the leader Of battle, can ride on
the whirlwnd and direct the storm, till it subdue
the whole SOUL taking captive all our feelings, cor
poreal and mental, and moulding them to its will
power OF this nature seems to equal in dignity the
highest faculties of genius any of it's forms, 1t
undoubtedly surpasses all the others in the over
wheming and instantaneous efficacy of its agency,
while thus working its wonders M. Leopold De
Meyer speaks with a tongue Ineligible alike to
every nation and class-he needs translation
his works are equally capable Of being enjoyed at
London and Naples, Paris and st. Petersburg,
Vienna and New York. If the enjoyment received
from his powers is not everywhere equally great, it
is not from the want of medium to make them
understood, but from difference in the minds to
which they are presented
"Strong In new arms, o giant Meyer stands,
Like bold Briareus with his hundred hands,
To stir, to rouse, to shake the soul, he comes
And Joves own thunders follow Msrs's drums.
Arrest him, goddess! or you sleep no more"
1t Is stated that the beautiful composition of :" LIE
Desert' will be repeated. NJ de Meyer will be as
sisted on this occasion by the clever artiste Mr.
Charles Parabeau.
