E. Of MUSICAL GENIUS
World Little Knows What
Agony the Great Masters
Underwent.

Mephisto, in Musical America, says
"It has been told me that a proni-
nent concern which manufactures
rolls of music for automatic pianos
has paid a large sum for new pat
ent. This patent is neither more nor
less than a brief description of the
character Of the roll, with few words
concerning the composer. Thus. the
roll acquires an educational value be-
yond the pleasure given by the music
itself.
There are compositions, songs
whose history involves romance, in
deed, at times. tragedy.
Now, | have often wondered when
a large audience was listening to a
great symphony orchestra. under a
| noted conductor. rendering Beet
hoven concerto, whether II would not
have appreciated the work even more
had IL known of this immortal com
posers lonely life. Geaf at an early
age and hearing his own music only
with his soul.
How many are there today who
listen to masterpieces that enthuse
and enthrall them. OF what these com
posers endured, how few OF them
were appreciated in their lifetime.
how tragic the lives of many.
"Prodhomme, in his article. de-
scribes a visit to Beethoven by the
Baron de fremont to whom he pre-
sented a letter of introduction. Bee
hoven, even then. was very difficult
of access, and as this was during the
period of the first Napoleon. he was
very much opposed to the French.
Beethoven looked me over" says
de fremont, took the letter and let
me in. His lodging consisted OF only
two rooms, the first one having an
alcove containing the bed, but small
and dark, for which reason, he made
his toilet in the second room.
"Picture to yourself the dirtiest,
most disorderly place Imaginable
blotches of moisture covered the cell
ing; an oldish grand piano on which
the dust disputed the place with va
rious pieces of engraved manuscript
music: a small walnut table accus-
toned to the frequent overturning OF
the secretary placed upon it; guam
tity of pens encrusted with ink, COM
pared wherewith the proverbial tav-
ern pens would shine; then more
music. The chairs, mostly cane
seated, were covered with plates bear
ing the remains OF last nights sup
per. and with wearing apparel"
LAS we know Beethoven had dis
reputable nephew. who bothered him
continually for money and made his
life q burden.
"Think of immortal Schubert, whose
songs had little vogue till after his
death. Think of Mozart, whose
requiem is so often performed in the
churches and which he had just
finished when it was played by his
fearful friends as he lay back in his
great arm chair, dying, which scene
Kaulbach immortalized in his pic
ture.

Honors were very evenly divided
