The following story Is told Of the
music Of the overture to "a Midsum.

sohn was deep In the making Of this
same fine overture. he went riding one
day with a friend. In order. after
awhile. to rest their horses the two
boon companions dlsmountsd ana
stretched themselves out under the
shade of a great tree, Suddenly there
came an excited "Hush!" from the
great composer. who half arose very
cautiously. A large ny was buzzing
over them, and Mendelssohn was anx.
ious to catch the true sound Of the In.
.sect's hum as 1t gradually drifted far
ther away. Many days later when the
overture had been completed the artist
called his friends attention to that
passage in progression where the ylo-
loncello modulates in the chord OF the
seventh of the descending scale from
B minor to F sharp minor, There.
that's the hy that buzzed past us a,
