Tributes to the genius Of Mozart the order
o. the day We shall let the great ones speak
for Us.
Beethoven: 'T have always reckoned myself
among the greatest admirers Of Mozart and
shall do SO TIL the day OF my death" One day
Beethoven and Cramer were at e concert IN the
Augarten. ct which a pianoforte concerto by
Mozart was played. II was that in c minor. At
he close Beethoven burst out with, 'Cramer,
Cramer. We shall never be able to compose
anything like that"
Rossini: Shortly after Madame Viardot-Gar-
Ga acquired the autograph score Of Don Clio
vsnni" Rossini called upon her and asked the
privilege Of examining It, adding: 4 want to
bow the knee before this sacred relic" After
Foring over few pages he placed his hand on
Mozart's writing and said solemnly: He is
Inc greatest, the master OF them all, the only
composer who had as much genius as he had
science and as much science as he had genius"
On another occasion he said: "Yous voulez
connaitre eelui de mes ouvrages que Jaime lie
