the earliest times the mistakes Of the

last word in such compilations. and

while that Of the female Is fine, long

may introduce her pointed beak into

male detects an insect haunt" he lays

wonderful piece de resistance OF our
brass bands still makes life endurable
in his Salonika villa.
George Ill. was fond OF shouting the
melodies of Handelian choruses for
the delectation of his court, but the
world has seen no real royal musician
since Frederick the Great played his
last tune on his flute, though OF course
even Frederick could stand no COM
parison with our own Henry VIII,
who played remarkably well.
The centenary Of the birth of Fred
erick. celebrated on January "a. has
revived interest in the great mans
Tityrean piping and a certain indus.
trious Johannes Hennigsen has un-
earthed contemporary comments on
his playing. It seems that the king
excelled in adagio movement, into
which he infused a warmth and ten
derness of feeling that would hardly
nave been expected from the conquer
or of Rossbach and the friend of Vol
taire. 1T is difficult to listen to his
performances without weeping" says
one musician.
One reason why he preferred ada.
gios was that he was somewhat short
Of breath. which made him eschew
orchestral accomplishments for the
more delicate assistance OF the clavi-
chord when he was practicing.
Toward the end of the Seven Years
war he sat down to play in a quartet,
and at the finish cried enthusiastical-
ly: 1T is as sweet as sugar!" His
companions were not so sure, for
