| MUSICAL LITERATURE.
| There is but little to write about in musical
| literature. AR. Paul Becker, the pianist, one
| Of the best musicians in Chicago and whoss
name is associated with our earliest history, has
Just published through the house Of Messrs.
| Chandler j. Curtis m An1ante for piano, in
which very taking theme is worked up in SYM
phonic form, and this without being very diff
cult. It is g piece Which every student should
| have.
Strauss, the composer Of waltz music, is about
to appear in q literary character. His Is Remin-
iscences Of Anaericn Il will shortly bo published
at Prague. America, in the survey of Herr
| Strauss, consists Of the Boston Coliseum, the
New York Academy of Music, and the Clarendon
view, must be a people whose highest reach OF
enjoyment has been found in the beautiful
Blue Danube" and the " "Pizzicato Polka" It
will be curious to see what reflections on our
national life and manners will come from this
| lively little master Of the dance measures.
| From IN exhaustive account Of Weber in the
| Menestreue by tho pen of II. Barbadelle, it
would seem that musical composers derive their
inspiration, like poets, in great degree from the
sights and sounds of nature, its varied hues and
phenomena. Weber kept melodies long floating
in his brain before he threw them into form, and
some incident would suddenly suggest to him a
vehicle for the Introduction OF such matter into
the machinery Of an opera. Thus his Chmur
q number Of old women croning Itany; tha
idea Of the !" Gorge aux 1oups" came to him in
i O. thick fog when crossing from Dresden to Pill
nitz; and ct the baths Of Lncke he strange to
say, conceived the march in Oberon." from
seeing the hotel servants on . wet day piling up
the chairs and benches IN the garden.
