The French composer, Gounod, said that Mozart's Don Giovanni was the greatest musical composition that the world has ever seen.... Beethoven (1770-1827) occupies in general estimation about the same place in the history of music that Shakspere fills in the history of literature.]

I witnessed the representation of Mozart's Nozze di Figaro.

Mozart's letters to his sister, Maria Anna, who was nicknamed "Nannerl," are brimful of cheerful affection and of sprightly interest in her own love affairs.

In Munich it was Mozart's fate to find a tragedy awaiting him, for Aloysia (whom he had loved as solemnly as he had loved his cousin frivolously, and to whom he looked forward longingly after his long absence) showed herself indifferent.

She was not musical and could not have had a proper appreciation of Mozart's artistic value.

" A little later one of Mozart's letters is interrupted and is finished in a strange hand as follows: "Your good son has just been summoned by Countess Thun, and he has not time to finish the letter to his dear father, which he much regrets, and requests me to let you know this, for, being post-day, he does not wish you to be without a letter from him.

" This is the first appearance in Mozart's correspondence of this name.

We may feel sure that some of the bad light thrown on his character is due purely to the jealousy of rivals, when we consider his domestic content, his ardent interest in the welfare of Mozart's widow and children, and the great efforts he made to secure subscriptions for the widow's biography of Mozart.

Aigen, the chateau of Prince Schwarzenberg, was more cheerful; so was Mozart's statue and his Geburthaus.

Frau Mozart's hair, a wealth of light brown curls, never disfigured by powder, fell, half unfastened, upon her shoulders.

I was as careful of it as if it had been gold!" "Never mind, little goose," was Mozart's comforting answer.

The effects of Mozart's illness showed most plainly when at home.

"I beg your pardon, sir," began the gardener rather angrily, as he looked at Mozart's unprepossessing clothing, "I do not know whom I have the honor" "Kapellmeister Mozart, of Vienna.

"The winter before last, Mozart's health caused me much anxiety, on account of his increasing nervousness and despondency.

But no one had ever before seen a cane in Mozart's hand, and I had to laugh at him.

This band appeared to me to differ from all others I have heard in this,that it plays music of a higher order; on this occasion, for instance, it gave an arrangement of Mozart's overture to 'Don Juan.'
