Ese embaj jador temible que pasaba
ante los ojos de Mozart por un men

intendente, function que exigfa Y JUS

cisco Won Walsegg, de stuppach
Este era un tipo original. Muy pi-
cado de mlsica, ejecutante en- el vio-
loncello Y la flauta, lie gustaba hacer-
Sc pasar por i'm maestro en- Ell arte de
la composition. Pero. siendole su mu-
sa rigurosamente refractaria, habfa
imaginable comprar sus favores por
generosos desembolsos. Tenia el cui-
dado de escoger bien a sus proveedo-
res Sc dirigia a los primeros COM
pasitores de SUI tempo, imponiendoles
no les pedia en- cambio de sus libe-
ralidades mas que un secreto bien
guardado ell compromise de no pu-
blicar esas obras escritas por encargo
Una vez en- possession del manuscrito
ambicionado 10 copiaba de su propia
mano. olvidaba fir1nar Ell nombre del
autor, hacfa sacar las parties de acuer-
do con Ia partitura las colocaba en-
los atri1es de sus familiares 'virtuo-
SOS '-pues dos veces por semana Sc
daba a ST mismo un concerto de mt-
sica de camara.
Descifrado Ell trozo, proponia sus
gentes adivinar ell autor, los sola-
pados, al corriente de sus miras am
biciosas, no dejsban nunca de tornar-
Sc hacia Ell, designandole como e1 Uni
co capaz de escribir tan hermosa mii-
sica. Sc habfa reconocido su estilo,
exclamaban ellos, y era impossible de

Ante esta explosion de admiration,
monsenor asumia una actitud modes

cia, sonriendo con fineza; pero despues
de todo la obra lie psrtenecfa, -ino
la habia encargado y pagado?-y no
creia que tenia Ell derecho de rehusar
homenajes tan espontaneos unani-
mes.

Ger revelaci6n alguna, juzgando que Ia
conviction estaba suficientemente arrai
gada en- Ell espiritu de sus auditores,
por esta confession tacita, sin que fue-
ra necesario comprometerse mas. "a
Desgraciadamente Mozart no podia
sospechar esta ridicula comedia. del
