scant Praise for verdPs Music

An English critic said of Rigoletto when it reached London in 1853: There is little offensive music in Rigoletto; the ears are schooner stunned than in most of the com. poser's other works and there is, we fancy, less pretense in the writing. Nevertheless Verdi's sins are apparent in every scene. Poverty of ideas, an eternal effort at originality-never ac. complished-strange and odd phrases. lack of coloring, and a perpetual swag ger in the dramatic effects, are unmis takably true Verdi. Yet there are airs melodies if you will--in Rfgoletto. which are sure to find favor with the barrel organs"

 How did you know that have been wanting to come up here once more be fore everything is changed?" said the girl at length, batting the roughly-hewn log step as if it were a sentient thing to feel the caress.
