The Scotch and Irish folk songs that Miss Hen
schel will sing recall curously interesting chap-
ter in Beethoven's life and work-his relations with
the Edinburgh publisher George Thomson In 1909
Thomson commissioned Beethoven to compose rttor-
nelIos and accomplishments for a number OF Welsh
and Irish airs This was the beginning OF long
series of negotiations that resulted in the arrange
rnent Of about one hundred and thirty Of such airs
including also Scotch and English as solos, duets
and choruses, with accompaniment for pianoforte,
violin and vioioncello. Among these are number
Of such well known tunes Sally in Our Alley"
st Patrick's Day. God Save the King etc In
his first answer to Thomsons proposition Bee
thoven demanded higher price than was offered
for one reason among others. because the task was
one that could give great pleasure to an artist.
Later he wrote that he had composed most of the
work "con amore." desiring to give mark OF his
esteem to the Scottish and English people by cul-
tivating their national songs" That Beethoven ex
pended care and attention upon them is shown by
his continual demands upon Thomson for the
words Of the poems. for sit is very necessary to
have them to be able to give the correct express
sion" The undertaking extended over five years;
but the product OF all his labor has remained
practically unknown to the musical public.
Brahms's second sextet, which was published in
1885, followed his first by only four years is less
familiar work. partly because of it's greater diff
Guilty in performance and partly because Of its
deeper musical quality 1t is rich in ideas and in
beauty Brahms has seldom written more naive
and spontaneous theme than that in dance rhythm
which interrupts the scherzo in the middle. Those
who are interested in such things may find in the
frat movement some remarkable Contrapuntal writ
ing in which science is put at the service OF the
purest beauty such canon in contrary motion.
