Changes Title
Beethoven's third symphony was
written by the composer to honor the
/ great Napoleon, but later he became
disguised with the ambitions of his
erstwhile idol and changed the title
to Symphony Eroica," composed to
celebrate the memory of a great hero
Richard Wagner wrote of the first
as in a glowing furnace, all the emo
tions of a richly gifted nature in the
heydey of unresting youth. Our whole
interest is given to this human being
who shows himself brimful of every
feeling Yet all these feelings spring
from one main faculty, and that is
force. This force, immeasurably en-
HANGED by each emotional impression
IL ; l,
handspring of the piece; it clinches
toward the middle of the movement, &c
the violence of the destroyer, and il
its braggart strength we think we see
wrecker of the world before US, a
Titan wrestling with the gods"
Famed for Operas
Massenet, composer of the Angelus
won his fame chiefly for his opera OF
which Herodiade and That's are prom
inent examples. However, his first
= real success was with his orchestral
suites of which Scenes Picturesque
from which the Angelus is taken, is his
first This piece has been compared
to a church service with brief organ
prelude, the voice of the priest, and
the answering choir.
Woodland Whispers" by Czibulka
Of the most unusual of which is the
iponticelli passage by the string instru
ments, whistling effect produced by
playing with the bow very near the
bridge.
i Wrote so Operas
i Rossini, composer of William Tell
wrote more than 80 operas of which
this one is the last and greatest. The
i story which is laid in Switzerland
and in the 18th century, tells of the
Austrian oppression under Gessler
and includes the legendary incident
of Tells shooting the apple from his
sons head.
Tschaikowsky' "Marche Slav," was
composed in 1879 for a concert giver
in Moscow for the benefit of the sol
diers wounded in the war between Tur
key and Servia. The principal theme
is furnished by the Servian folksong
"Sunce varko ne fijas jednako" (come
my dearest why so sad this morningl
: The Russian national hymn is also
prominently used in this work.
