ties Of the man Mozart are d, clearly o..
vealed in his music as in HI. letter. and
in the records of his life. /, is the same
with Beethoven the same with Mendels-
sohn; the same with Haydn. In Han.
del's writings there is to be found the ex.
preston Of every human passion but it
would be ridiculous to pretend that the
tenderness, the sweetness, mingled Joy.
BUSINESS and sadness, which are almost al.
ways present in combination in Mozart.
are to be found prominent in the uniyer-
sally gifted Handel, who even in h;-
lightcst moods imprcsses US with 4 sense
of force and power. 1t may seem, per.
haps, whimsical notion but yet it i,
hardly extravagant to add that in Hand.
el, as in Shakespeare, we seem to be in
company with prosperous man. That
the two men were prosperous in the trade
Of money getting, and, wonderful to adj,
as theatrical managers is fact which
everybody knows, and which ought ever
to be inlorced on the attention of those
prosaic people who imagine that there is
a sort of incompatibiity between the gift,
OF genius and capacity for busnes..
However, this, | think, cannot be dcniel,
that as nobody would ever imagine, from
their works, that either Shakespeare or
Handel were unfortunate melancholy
men, so nobody would ever imagine that
Beethoven was the reverse or, again, that
Weber was a thriving, joviaI man of the
world, or that Rossini wagcd fruitless
struggI Ie for bread and for health. In
the great Sebastian Bach's writings, too, |
see the revelation Of the peculiarities of
his history as distinguished from that OF
his great contemporary. Fiery passions,
with their conflicts, find no expression in
any of the works OF the quiet, contcntcl,
domestic musical director Of Leipsir.
Even in the most lubilant and triumphant
bursts and climaxes in his mass in b mi.
nor-the noblest mass ever written, anA
by Protestant, too,-the clear, bright,
genial and self posed nature Of the man
Is still manifest; and he goes on pouring
forth his streams of brilliant, interlacing
harmones with fertility and sense Of
enjoyment that bc,peaks at once a mini
at ease aud an Imagination as exubcrant
as it was powerful and well instructed.
Altogether it seems to me as impossihl
to deny that musical sound is vol
speaking from the mind, as that the
written styles Of Addison and Macauay,
and the spoken style of Johuson, were
the natural products of the peculiarltcs
of their several characters. .- E1ajqhfiy
