unexpecte ! Appreeiation.

An odd anecdote Is told about the
"Reverie and Caprice For Violin and
Orchestra" by Berlioz, a composition
which partakes largely of the remarka-
bic character that belongs to most of
the works of that famous French mu-
sician. 1t was being performed mt
Leipzig by one of the greatest of Ger
man violiuists. and Berlioz and Men
delssohn were both present.
After the piece was ended, amid the
most enthusiastic applause, the violin
ist turned to Mendelssohn and whls-
pered: II am glad enough | have got
through 1t, for never had such task
in my life. ! have not the remotest
idea what l have been playing or what
the piece can be about"
Scarcely were the words out OF the
bewildercd fiddler's mouth when Ber-
lioz exclaimed to Mendelssohn: Never
have heard my composition sc divine
ly rendered. Never have l heard an
artist who has so completely caught
my meaning and so wonderfully inter
Dreted It."
