RgMINIsOBHOBs OF HAYDN.

IT was bis delight 10 compose 10 the open
air, and the Lichtenthal garden, at the east
ern extremity Of Eissnstadt, which he rented
from an officer OF the court, which still pro.
serves the wooden pavilion In which Hsnyn
wrote often and much. .o
His manner Of composing was to nots down
his moro or lsa worked-out sketches on single
leaves Of music paper; then, when oil stood
clear and complete before him, on psper and in
his head. he used TO writs out tho score, which
never showed many corrections. The rspidity
Of conception and production, which We nnd In
Mozart and Schubert, Was wanting TO Haydn,
who was, o. he ssid himself, slow workman,
and who took st least month TO write SYM
phony, and busied himself through three while
writing mas. Just ~ little did he posssss

was in the power Of Mozart and Beethoven.
Prinstsr only heard him inprovise ouos. when
the Prince made company wait little too
long for him; but u was moro free fsntasy on
"reminiscences from his own works, and tboss OF

been that his powers - virtuoso lay rather 10

and, greatly to their surprise, held long con.
