Raconteur in the Courier says:
THE difference between the Wagner.
ties and the anti-Wagnerites is quite
simple
What IL IT."
"Well. when the Wagnerite can't un.
derstand Wagner. he thinks It II his
own fault, while the nti-Wagnerite
under similar circumstances. thinks II
Is Wagner's fault"
By the way, speaking of the tardy
recognition Of Wagner in Paris, not sc
long ago there was an expression wei
known on the boulevards, "Se tam.
haeuser" Ito bore oneself).
Rubinstein says in his memoirs: "In
Vienna gave lessons-the greater num-
Der for almost nothing. I lived in a gar
ret, and 1t not unfreQuently happened
that day after day had no money to
pay for dinner and therefore had tc
go without. There was scarcely any
furniture in my room, so that my compo-
sitions had to lie heaped up on the floor
What did I not write in those days?
Pieces of all sorts-oratorios, sympho-
nies, operas and songs; not only music
but various attempts at literature
critiQues, and even philosophical arti-
cles. I actually started in my garret a
sort of newspaper for. one reader only
myself!
This sort Of life lasted for year and
half. I suffered from poverty and
hunger-sometimes to a terrible degree.
In word. my experience was the same
as that of almost all those who try to
make their way unaided."
