A BEETHOVEN NIGHT.

y
Last night there was little Beethoven
festival at Gmores Garden, celebrated in the presence
of an audience which was OF credable dimensions
sderDg the weather. and OF unquestionabe intelligence
and zeal The chief work on the programme was the
Symphony in c minor the effect Of which entirely
satisfactory since very few Of the people seemed dis
posed to crunch the gravel during the performance OF it,
Aided also by the quiet OF the assemblage, Mr. Flsch
was able to make himself heard in that most
fascinating Of love songs, Adelaide y; and the
various selections for the orchestra, including the
"Turkish March," the Theme and Variations
from the septet, etc, were heartily enjoyed. There
were three pieces which must have been novelties 70

known as the GratuatiOns-M Menuet" charming work
in that lighter aud velier style which Beethoven
tered 80 wen when he chose; another was the set
OF twelve short German Dances" composed at an
early period of his career and showing very plainly the
Mozart in1uencc-a string OF beautiful and perpetualy
varying little movements to which we fancy one might
listen cOntcntedly for a whole evening the third
an Equale for four trombones, admirably played by
Messrs. Cappa, Saul, Letsch and Listemann. Bee
thoyen wrote three Of these solemn funerea
pieces for performance in church on All
Souls Day. They were not published during his life
time but two Of them given his own burial by
quartet Of trOmbOnes alternating with a chorus, the
words Of the "Miserere and "Amplius lava being
fitted to them for the occasion. They are both
printed IN SchInders Life OF Beethoven" The
second Of these two Iuaen' played last night,
and then in response TO recall the first performed.
