34737With what two great masters did he study?

356012. Who was his first teacher?
356013 JOSEPH HAYDN] Do you remember that once upon a time Joseph Haydn lived as court musician in the Esterhazy family?
35601And does he not look kind?
35601And the position of the left hand?
35601But do you not think his face is a fine one?
35601Do you see his baton and the score on the desk?
35601Does he not have a round, good- natured face?
35601Full of light and life and eagerness?
35601In what Italian city did Liszt live?
35601In what family did he live?
35601Is it not wonderful to think of a man, so loved by the public, giving with such great generosity?
35601What famous musician did he meet in Vienna?
35601What great composer of opera did he assist?
35601What great musician''s life was written by Franz Liszt?
35601What was his father''s occupation?
35601When and where did Franz Liszt die?
35601When and where was Franz Liszt born?
35601Where was his mother born?
35601Whose songs did he arrange for piano?
35601With whom did Franz study piano in Vienna?
13767But how?
13767You know the flour?
13767AT AN OLD TRYSTING- PLACE Where, dearest, fare thy feet this summer eve?
13767But what is caprice?
13767Dance on, gaunt shadows, beside the wall, We shrink from you in your cruel mirth; But what are_ you_ and the dreams of Earth?
13767Dare I disturb Fancies so tender, E''en to surrender?
13767Did the Great Artist have any left after planting the fence- corners, roadsides and deep woods of Peterboro?
13767Hast found a pasture green in which to tread, Beside refreshing waters art thou led, Content beyond my powers to conceive?
13767In its depths holden, With maiden art, Whose image hath she?
13767Some think that the negro melodies should form the basis of our American music; but why?
13767What lady hands in lilac hedge Or tansy bed went gleaning?
13767What says her heart, Fragrant and golden?
13767What sturdy youth and maid demure Within that garden olden, Their vows of love and constancy Pledged in the sunset golden?
13767What was to be done?
13767When the larder needed replenishing she would break the news to her employer like this:"Marse John?"
13767Who placed that rusty flintlock there, Against the stone fence leaning?
13767Why encourage the production of distinctive American music in a country in which there is not even a distinctive type of face or mode of speech?
13767Why try to foster the limited local idea with regard to music, or any artistic or intellectual pursuit?
13767Will she requite me?
350137. Who were some of the people who welcomed Chopin to Paris?
35013And people not merely asked:"Who can he be?"
35013In what city was Mozart born?
35013In what country was Chopin born?
35013In what country was Grieg born?
35013In what two countries did Handel live?

35013When did Chopin first appear in public?
35013Who can he be?"
35013Why did he change his mind and remain there?
35013[ Illustration 11: CHOPIN PLAYING FOR THE PRINCE] Do you wonder what kind of a man the little Polish boy became after he found success in Paris?
17465And the cellar, also?
17465How much are the expenses of your concert?
17465Many persons, artists and amateurs,said Fiorentino,"absolutely asked on the morning of her_ début_, Who is this Alboni?
17465Well, how does this concern me?
17465''But have I not still a disengaged evening?''
17465Do n''t you know what love is?"
17465Do you know that I could propose a little partnership affair?
17465Do you want it buttered?''
17465He fixed his flashing eyes upon her:''What did you say?''
17465Jealous as she was by temperament, she always wept when Madamoiselle Sontag achieved a great success, saying, naively,"Why does she sing so divinely?"
17465She whispers to him with a rather coarse epithet:''Why do n''t you take it?
17465The great pianist and composer Moscheles writes:"What shall I say of Jenny Lind?
17465The visitor then took the long golden tresses floating over Persiani''s shoulders, and asked,"Is it all your own?"
17465Then, changing his voice:"Do n''t you know your voice is a gold- mine that has never been explored?
17465What can she do?"
17465What more unique triumph can be fancied than such a one violating all the laws of probability?
17465What was the reason of this unanimous disdain or this unanimous doubt?
17465Whence does she come?
36215''And you wo n''t flunk, will you?'' 36215 But you changed your mind?"
36215Did you ever have to walk?
36215Do you think I can do it?
36215What is the most enjoyable part I ever had?
36215When did I first sing in public? 36215 ''Could he do them now?'' 36215 Do you mean when did I make my real début in opera? 36215 InThe Bride Elect,"he gave us marches-- shall we say"galore"?
36215Miss Russell also described interestingly her methods of working up a part:--"How do I study my parts?
36215Of course, I love music, but what can be more gratifying than to portray the heroines of Shakespeare and other great dramatists?
36215Still, is her condition of mind to be wondered at?
36215The fair- haired Lillian sang at this concert"Let Me Dream again"by Sullivan and"Connais- tu le Pays?"
36215Where, in all that, is to be found the simple graciousness, the dainty, delicate, unobtrusive art of Marie Tempest?
36215Which is right?
36215Why not give Miss Hall a chance to play the girl next door?
36215Why scour Europe for a human specimen which only warps a personality that belongs right here at home?
36308And how is it you live?
36308Do you admire the view?
36308If seven maids with seven mops Swept it for half a year, Do you suppose,the Walrus said,"That they could get it clear?"

36147And why is it they infest this particular branch of business more than any other?
36147And why?
36147Are we not bound to consider them as our fellow brethren and to care for them as well as for those receiving premiums?
36147But suppose the awards were made with proper knowledge and strictest impartiality, what then?
36147But what was the result?
36147But when Gemünder told him they were new ones made by him, the amateur stared at him as much as to say,"Do you make fun of me?
36147Disappointed in his effort to find employment, winter at the door and far away from home, what could he do?
36147He then remarked that he wished to find an Italian violin of first class, and asked Gemünder if he had something of that kind in his possession?
36147I have often shown this art in exceptional repairs; but what can be gained by it?
36147Is this fair on the part of human society?
36147Thus a moral prize values higher than a piece of metal?
36147Upon expressing my surprise, he replied with the following insult:"What do you know about the position of the sounding post?
36147What have the remaining competitors gained who are less gifted by nature, and therefore could not receive any award?
36147What is the reason of this and where is it to be found, and why does good luck generally lie in the opposite extreme?
36147Wherein, therefore, do we find that which frightens the purchasers?
36147Whereupon Poznanski replied in an excited tone,"Have you not heard that we do not want a new violin?"
36147Why is it we hear no such conflicting opinions about the productions of any other branch of industry or art?

170747--have four movements?
17074And what is more fatal than a lack of gradation of interest?
17074But under such extraordinary circumstances can help be hoped for?
17074But what, it may be asked, is the character of the changes made by Bach?
17074But, it will be asked, Why is he mentioned in a book which is concerned with the sonata?
17074In 1745(?)
17074Is Liszt''s sonata a Phoenix rising from its ashes?
17074Is the coincidence accidental, or did Mendelssohn know the sonata, and was he unconsciously influenced by it?"
17074Joseph Bottomley, another English composer( 1786-?
17074May we, then, not conclude that young Beethoven''s attention was attracted to these"masterly sonatas,"and also to those of his teacher Neefe?
17074Now, was Beethoven acquainted with Rust''s music?
17074Some change has taken place: have the lovers grown cold?
17074The following story is also told by Davidson in a preface contributed by him to the Brewer edition of the Woelfl sonata:--"Who will play it?"
17074What other composer creates this almost irresistible desire?"
17074Why, one may ask, did not the editor indicate the additions in smaller notes?
17074[ 68] He therefore asks:"Are the hard, rough, passionate expressions of an angry and indignant man beautiful?"
17074or has death divided them?
17074says Schindler,"then you will next set about writing an_ angry_ sonata?"

26427Bateman:"And which are you for, Gothic with Handel, or Roman with Gregorian?"
26427Bateman:''... Rome has corrupted the pure Apostolic doctrine, can we wonder that it should have a corrupt architecture?''
26427Could mediæval work, largely out of touch with the times, claim for itself a monopoly of existence to the exclusion of the modern?
26427Do you mean the twelve semitones, as some suggest?
26427I can not, indeed, help liking Mozart; but surely his music is not religious?"
26427Later on he inquires:"How do you and Dr. Crotch get on?"
26427Mrs. J. Mozley says,"We are pleased at your tribute to music, but what do you mean by fourteen notes?
26427On what occasion did he march?
26427Reding:''Why, then, go to Rome for Gregorians?
26427What can be more beautiful than Handel''s, Mozart''s, and Beethoven''s melodies?"
26427What has become of them?
26427When people who are not musicians have accused Handel and Beethoven of not being_ simple_ I have always said,''is Gothic architecture_ simple_?''
26427Will Rousseau answer your question?
26427Would a harmonium do?
26427You say,"How_ can_ he manage it?
27502And you have written of me to Göethe, have you not? 27502 Melody gives a sensible existence to poetry; for does not the meaning of a poem become embodied in melody?
27502And would you know the true principle on which the arts_ may_ be won?
27502But if this indefatigable search after originality be a sin, to what new and extraordinary effects, to what wonders, has it not given birth?
27502But what shall be said of"Lascia che io pianza?"
27502Can empty sound such joys impart?

17464What are you thinking of?
17464Being present with a country friend in the pit, the latter asked him, as Mrs. Billington appeared in the garden- scene,"Is that Rosetta?"
17464But what matters it?
17464By a fixed instrument?
17464By the voice?
17464Cata- lani?
17464Grassini, who was present, rose majestically from her chair, with a theatrical tone and gesture exclaiming,''Et sa blessure, monsieur?''
17464If the rapid vocalization of a singer was praised, Mara would significantly ask,"Can she sing six plain notes?"
17464Might she not be ruining herself in giving the Grand Duke of Russia a bad opinion of her powers?
17464People have often said to me,"Madame Mara, why do you not introduce more pretty things, and passages, and graces in your singing?"
17464See how ugly she is; and as for singing-- did you ever hear such a vile jargon of sounds?"
17464The maligner was triumphant, and said to all,"Did n''t I say so?

17464When Pacchierotti had finished the air, he turned to the orchestra, which remained silent, saying,"What are you about?"
17464can you sing at sight?"
17464ejaculated the astonished composer;"do you think the Greeks, whose manners we are endeavoring to depict, knew what a chacone was?"
17464what?"
39671Can it be recovered to any extent, and, if so, how?
39671How was it possible to realise all the suppleness and subtleties of elocution on the orchestra?
39671Was Alessandro Scarlatti still in Venice when Handel met him?
39671Was such protection as useful to Handel as he had hoped?
39671Who can say from memory the titles of even six of his thirty- nine operas, from whence may be culled many of his choicest flowers of melody?
39671[ 197] Handel wrote the third act, Bononcini the second, the first had been already set by a certain Signor Pippo( Phillipo Matti?).
39671[ 298] Is not even_ Joseph_ entitled"a sacred Drama,"and_ Hercules_"a musical Drama"?
39671[ 319] Yet what would be the advantage of restoring these ornaments?
39671[ 321]_ Teseo_, duet,_ Addio, mio caro bene_;_ Esther_, duet by Esther and Ahasuerus:"Who calls my parting soul?"
39671[ 43]"Is it the orchestra which is the hero?"
38268... pourquoi partez- vous?
38268All of this is quite unanswerable; yet, so far as musical Germany is concerned, is not the situation rather singular?
38268But are we very greatly nourished by the contemplation of that which must inevitably arouse disgust rather than compassion?
38268But those aspects of life which sicken the sense, which are loathsome rather than terrible-- are they fit matter for the artist?
38268But what, actually, do we get?
38268Has the vital, if crude, imagination which gave issue to the music of"Tosca"acquired finesse and delicacy at a cost of independent impulse?
38268Is not Strauss, in such a work as"Salome,"but another Berlioz( though a Berlioz with a gleaming past)?
38268We find a foreshadowing of this kind of effect in such a passage as_ Tristan''s_"Bin ich in Kornwall?"
38268Yet what becomes of"Tristan und Isolde,"of"Meistersinger,"of"Götterdämmerung,"when this principle is tested by their quality and effect?
38268wherefore didst thou not look at me, Jokanaan?..."

43873Is n''t Madame So- and- so fine?
43873Is n''t it beautifully put on?
43873Once more,says Scarpia,"where is Angelotti?"
43873Who can not detect,they say,"in the delicate profile of one woman the personality both of Mimi and Francine?
43873Who as he reads of Mimi''s little hands, whiter than those of the Goddess of Ease, is not reminded of Francine''s little muff?"
43873said the official,"do you want to brand your child for life with the memory of a failure?"
30560Is the music conveying a logical message to me, or is it merely a sea of sound?
30560Answer the question I''ve put you so oft: What do you mean by your mountainous fugues?
30560But how about the tune when it is in the_ bass_ as is the case so frequently in Beethoven''s Symphonies or in Wagner''s Operas?
30560But why all this pother?
30560Every man was asking himself and his comrades the question posed by the most popular novel of the day:''What shall we do?''
30560For what is music without dissonance?
30560For who can limit the combinations of sound and rhythm, or forecast the range of the human imagination?
30560How could it be otherwise?
30560In regard to any work of large dimensions the final test is this: can we sing all the themes and follow them in their polyphonic development?
30560It was characteristic of the Romantic unrest of the German mind to question everything-- especially"Why am I not more happy in love?"
30560Schumann''s well- known comment is apropos--"How is gravity to clothe itself if jest goes about in dark veils?"
30560The first question, in the presence of an elaborate work of music, should never be,"Do I like it or not?"
30560The mood of dreamy contemplation with which the Slow Movement begins can not be translated into words; why attempt it?
30560The question, therefore, faces us: how shall we learn this mysterious language so as readily to understand it?
30560WARUM?
30560What, now, in this connection can be said of America?
30560Why expect the work of any one composer to manifest all possible merits?
30560[ Footnote 188: Perhaps the whirligig of time may restore them; who can say?]
30560but"Do I understand it?"
19557After all, may it not be that he has flinched?
19557And after one is dead, what does it all matter?
19557And from whom did Tolstoy learn more than from that conserver of the pristine and dominating Russian traits, the moujik?
19557And had M. Rachmaninoff instead of being a musician been a painter, would not a like destiny await his compositions?
19557And was not this restatement of the national character Borodin''s great contribution to his age''s life?
19557And where was this music more immanent than in the New World, in America, that essentialization of the entire age?
19557Are not the piano- pieces of M. Rachmaninoff the result of a relationship to the instrument that is fast becoming outmoded?
19557Are they not a sort of throwback to the salon school, the school of velocity, of effect, of whatever Rubinstein and Liszt could desire?
19557But if there is such a thing as form without significance in music, might not these compositions serve to exemplify it?
19557By what environment was it more justly appreciated, Saxon though the accents of its recitative might be?
19557Do you know the"Phaeton"of Saint- Saëns?
19557For do they not proceed from the point of departure of the entire brilliant school of piano- compositions?
19557Has it a melodic line quite properly its own?
19557If there is such a thing as rhythmless music, would not the stagnant orchestra of the"Five Orchestral Pieces"exemplify it?
19557In 1911 he returned to Berlin, remaining there till 1916(?).
19557Is it the blind hovering of the spirit that has quit its earthly habitation in the moment of dissolution?
19557Is it"the wind of death''s imperishable wing"?
19557Take away the sound and fury signifying nothing from the third concerto, and what is left?
19557The whole world is sham and advertisement and opportunism, is it not?
19557What instrument but the viola could appreciate the famous"Harold"theme?
19557When was there a time when composers did not deform their themes in amorous, rustic and warlike variations?
19557Would not the two rhapsodies"L''Etang"and"La Cornemuse"have transmuted to music the macabre and sinister note of so much symbolist poetry?
19557Would not the"Pagan Poem"have been the musical equivalent of the mystic and sorrowful sensuality of Verlaine?
18138But what words am I to use in describing my happiness?

18138Does it seem possible now that he had to struggle for twenty- five years before he could secure the production of his"Ring of the Nibelung"?
18138For was it not the incomparable Delphine who was destined to"soothe the bitterness of sorrow"during his final hours on earth?
18138How long did Delphine survive Chopin?
18138If she was unable to discover his genius in these, how could she be expected to follow its loftier flights in his later works?
18138In fact, has any woman, professional musician or not?
18138Is it a wonder that but little more than a year after they met, the Princess decided to burn her bridges behind her and leave her husband?
18138Is it not true-- those from the last year of his life are just as tender as those written during the first year of our marriage?"
18138Realizing that his lame finger rendered him incapable of playing, he called out despairingly:"Who will lend me fingers?"
18138Tell me if I could ask a better wife for myself?"
18138Was it Fate-- or fatality-- that led him thither with Cosima?
18138What did Wagner do?
18138What drew him to Constance?
18138What shall I do?"
18138What would have become of them both, and of his genius with him?"

30409Can we compose better Sermons than_ Moses_ or_ Solomon_?

39935The puzzle, then, is: Who was the father of Henry Purcell the Elder and of Thomas Purcell?
39935Then who taught him?
39935Was it an instance of coming events casting their shadows before?
39935What did the elder Purcell do before he attained to such a position?
39935What was he before he became a scrivener?
39935and whence did he get his musical knowledge?
36143''So you were bitten by rats last evening?'' 36143 Are these the only rooms you have to offer us?

36143What are you about, Benedict?
36143What is the meaning of this?
36143Why,he indignantly demanded,"should the tenor''s part in the opera be thus cut short?

36143Appealing to an animal whose superior intelligence he recognized, Ravelli said in the French language--"Est ce que ton mâitre doit chanter?"
36143But what, he wished to know, was to be done with his body after death?
36143But why, above all, should the habitual impersonator of heroes fall beneath the sword of one who was accustomed only to play a villain''s part?"
36143He then got calmer, and I casually observed,"By- the- bye, is the opera over yet, Mongini?"
36143How am I to answer you until I have talked to my friends and read the criticisms in the morning papers?"
36143I replied,"Are you sure?"
36143Maple, and said to him--"Have you not another suite of rooms as good, or nearly so, as the one for which these ladies are disputing?"
36143She then asked me how I could possibly think of such a thing when the chintz and the crumbcloth of his dressing- room had not been fixed?
36143The heading of the letter announced the character of his new business, and he added in a postscript:"Do you ever want any tin?"
36143Then, addressing his partner, he simply said:"Mr. Wood, can I have a minute''s conversation with you outside?"
36143What would attract them?
36143Who is to have the best dressing- room at the theatre?
36143Who the best suite of apartments at the hotel?
36143Would Blondin fetch them?

28252And do you now wonder that I so insist on every test possible being brought to bear in this important matter of selection?
28252But before I go farther into this interesting, consequently absorbing process, I must answer some question such as"but why use sandpaper?
28252But to_ what_ oil varnish is not my present purpose; why should I seek to close the door on research and on experiment?
28252But what then?
28252But who says the ancients did not use it, or crocodile skin, or a cloth made in Venice, and somewhat after our emery cloth?
28252Does nature do this to the lungs of a Madame Patti or a Sims Reeves before she turns them on the world?
28252Exactly, a question of degree, as purity of air is, but who chooses the foul when he can live in the pure?
28252For example or examples, suppose I found, crowning the severe, almost rigid column of the soundhole of Del Jesu, the mobile bend of Stradivari?
28252I think so: and am sure the whole world would to- day be only too glad if the old masters had been silly(?)
28252Is such flabby nonsense as_ this_ to be put into an immortal violin, because it purports to be fine Swiss pine at tenpence?
28252Then you must get this choice wood, but how?

28252What is the origin of this violin or fiddle, and to what country does the honour belong?

28252or variously shaped files of different cuttings?
28252or, at the turn of the companion lines of Stradivari, the Gothic arch of Del Jesu?
28252with the base of each of a like nature-- do you think I should pass such without a severe growl of condemnation?
35520Ah, composition?

35520He is,she replied;"but why?"
35520What does this mean?
35520What''s the matter?
35520Who is the gentleman?
35520A quarter of a century had elapsed since I had seen Raff, and naturally one of my first questions was,"Raff, how is the Wagner cause?"
35520And when did garden ever better repay the personal love and care of the gardener?
35520As I was walking along with him, he said,"I''m out of money; wo n''t you lend me three louis d''or?"
35520But when we left the Altenburg, he said casually,"You say you are going to Leipsic for a few days on business?
35520Do you continue your familiar intercourse with the Old Cognac in the New World, my dear Mason?
35520Do you remember the fact?
35520Finally, you will ask:"Stranger, who art thou?"
35520Has he, perhaps, a method of his own?"
35520He entered the room, and after the usual friendly greeting said,"What were you playing just now as I came up the stairs?"
35520His sole comment was,"Have you ever heard Tausig?"
35520How can this value be determined?
35520Just as I was turning to leave, I heard a voice at the head of the stairs call out,"Wer ist da?"
35520Just now my time is very much engaged, but we are going up the river on a picnic this afternoon-- Joachim and others; will you come along?
35520Many years afterward I reminded Mr. Webb of this remark, whereupon he said,"William, is it possible that I was so foolish?"
35520My name was mentioned, and Wehle asked,"Did you ever hear his wonderful tale about Timm, the New York player?"
35520PEDAL AND PEDAL SIGNS-- WHY NOT DISPENSE WITH THE LATTER?
35520The result was that when the next lesson- hour came around and I asked her how she found the new exercise, she exclaimed:"How do I like it?
35520Then, noticing the passport, which was uncommonly large and was bound like a book, he asked,"Is that an American passport?
35520What can be better adapted to the cultivation of a musical ear than the constant presence of musical tones of the highest quality and purity?
35520What?"
35520Where were ever seen such radiant, waving poppies, such hundred- hued pansies, such stately and brilliant hollyhocks, and such fragrant sweet peas?
35520Why should he not conduct Wagner as well as anybody else, or better?
35520Will you see him?"
35520Would Thomas come to the rescue?

35721For some strange reason,"Who is Sylvia?"
35721Here a great stirring is made in the orchestra, and a cry( violin solo) is heard:--_ Macbeth_: Wherefore was that cry?
35721In any decent production the song must be given to Feste, but how often is it?
35721It was produced in 1885, and the_ motto_ is from_ The Tempest_, Act iii., Scene 3:"What harmony is this?

31526What shall I now tell you? 31526 _ Who better than the poet can guide?_"CHICAGO: JANSEN, McCLURG& COMPANY.
31526A Saxon poet, Apel, imitated the Greek tragedies, why should he not do the same?
31526After all, was it the mere gratification of the senses that he really longed for?
31526And after the style of youthful inexperience:"You likewise do not like women?
31526And what of the Catholic syllabus and Protestant"Culturkampf"as well?
31526But have we also by this time a German spirit that sways the nation''s life?
31526But what of the real goal?
31526But why take note of time when great and grand things are to be accomplished?
31526Could German art then remain in the background?
31526Did he, while at work on his grand tragedy, occupying him fully two years, neglect his studies?
31526For is not religion divided into warring factions and science into special cliques, jealous of each other?
31526Had he not once before beheld a being wasting away in the constant longing for the eternal home and yet destined never to find rest?
31526Have we come to detest mere might which we have hitherto worshipped and that yet"bears within its lap evil and thralldom?"
31526Herodias thou wast and what more?
31526His disposition is indicated by the words:"You are a Protestant?
31526How could it be otherwise amid such a public as then existed in Germany?
31526How could such common treasures be heeded by him who had at his disposal the Holy Grail?
31526How does our poet interpret the legend?
31526In it was the question:"Will this prince be found?"
31526Of what importance in this direction was Germany at that time?
31526The boy heard him say to his mother in an undertone:"Can it be that he has a talent for music?"
31526These tones utter anew a world- saving prophesy, and shall we not then appropriate them fully and forever?
31526To which shall be the victory?
31526What could inflict more injury to our higher nature, to our real culture?
31526Where would such pretensions, such extravagance lead?
31526Who is there to- day who will doubt that Faust denial of the curse and the prophetic presentment of a new world?
31526Who that was present does not think with joyous emotion of those Munich May- days of 1868?
31526Why should not he then, this youth of twenty- one, ready for any deed and every pleasure, earnestly longing for success, enter upon the same course?

39861Could she?
39861Have not Auber and Scribe, in their pretty opera_ L''Ambassadrice_, given us the story of Mademoiselle Sontag transformed into the Countess de Rossi?
39861IS IT THE MOTHER, OR THE DAUGHTER?
39861If the Emperor thought right to ask her to sing, would the King of Sardinia think proper to allow her to sing?
39861If, to take the exact measure of this phenomenon by comparison, we turn to the very few who were her contemporaries on the stage, what do we behold?
39861It is twenty- two years since she left the stage; and how do we know whether she still possesses the talents which made her once so celebrated?"
39861What could the happy girl of former days, whose short life had been a series of triumphs, do but carol, like the lark, at the gates of Heaven?
39861Who can describe her face?
39861Who knows if, after all, bitter regrets did not follow to disturb the repose which she had promised herself?
39861ought she to sing?
39861why sacrifice it to the future?

28056canst thou tell the grief that in my heart doth dwell, For my love, we soon must sever; But say, love, ere we part, Wilt thou be mine forever?

21056''Floating after those women with their arms up? 21056 ''What is he doing?''
21056''What is that fellow doing?'' 21056 ''What is the name of that hymn?''
21056And does that thought affect thee too, The thought of Sylvio''s death, That he who only breath''d for you Must yield his faithful breath? 21056 Ask''st thou how long my love will stay, When all that''s new is past?
21056But ca n''t you buy a substitute for him?
21056Has any misfortune happened to you?
21056Have you any fault to find with it?
21056How can yours, which is contrary to the rules, be the best?
21056How could I get such a large sum? 21056 How has that happened?"
21056I say so to myself, sometimes,said Schubert,"but who can do anything after Beethoven?"
21056What''s the matter, child?
21056What, Baptiste,said he,"have you burnt your opera?
21056When will it be ready?
21056Why not?
21056''Did I not say that I was writing the"Requiem"for myself?''
21056''Would you like to know,''writes Leopold to Hagenauer, his host at Salzburg,''what Wolferl''s( a pet name for Wolfgang) dress is like?
21056And they said,"How can we desist from that which is our duty, for fear of anything that man can do unto us?"
21056And what did she choose?
21056Delia, can I say How long my life will last?
21056Do n''t you see?
21056Is it not so?"
21056On the evening of the 3d of June he asked his friend Göschen, with a smile,''Have you anything to say to your father?
21056Says Liszt;"Who could have ventured to oppose his wish?
21056The composer Haydn paid the singer a happy compliment suggested by this portrait when he said to Sir Joshua,"What have you done?
21056Then Almachius, struck with terror and rage, exclaimed,"What art thou, woman?"
21056This nettled Haydn, who suggested that the pupil(?)
21056Upon the same evening, he set two more of Shakespeare''s songs to music,"Who is Sylvia?"
21056Well, who knows but that this shoe may earn its weight in gold?"
21056What is it?"
21056What should I do there?
21056What was to be done to supply what was wanted, so as to further the true understanding on all sides, and with it the ultimate success of the work?
21056With this feeling, in which gleamed one last ray of cheerfulness, he wrote:''How will you receive me?
21056You will pardon me, my dear master, wo n''t you?
21056answered Haydn;"when shall we begin?"
43214Is this a Man to recieve the treatment you now give me? 43214 --perhaps shed tears? 43214 But where Garrick is pleased to exercise his judgment, as in his own parts, by a fair trial of his opinion pro and con? 43214 Could this have been the Ode which, it is said, he composed as an exercise for his degree? 43214 Did I ever desire a shilling of all she got before and after or wish otherwise than that it had been ten times as much for your sake? 43214 Did I make the blunder or is it a joke, like Mrs. Cibber''s asking you how you could possibly spell King with a Q? 43214 Have I been studying the longitude? 43214 How can you imagine that I have an irresistible_ apathy_ to you? 43214 Next we find a Glee by Arne,The love rapture"; then his Catch,"Which is the properest day to drink?"
43214O what is Music to the ear that''s deaf; Or a goose pye to him that has no taste?

21542Are we to beg and cringe and hang on the outer edge of life,--we who should walk grandly? 21542 H''m,"say the corpulent,"why ca n''t they leave well alone and be comfortable?"
21542Religion, love, and Music, are they not the three- fold expression of the same fact, the need of expansion under which every noble soul labours? 21542 What is Art?"]
21542And are not all these so many aids to higher ends?
21542And these electrons and protons-- what are they?
21542And what of Art-- and Music?
21542And why should not the same consideration apply to my mental outfit?
21542CHAPTER IV SPIRIT A LIVING FACT"Is Music the inarticulate Speech of the Angels on earth?
21542Could one say anything finer than this, and would not anything added to it but serve to spoil it?
21542Divinity and spirit( are not the terms synonymous?)
21542Does not the simple appreciation of music tend to unlock the doors of imagination and set it free in regions far removed from the gross?
21542In this he may have been eminently successful, but what is the value of such success?
21542Is any tune in itself"beastly"?
21542Is it for man to tremble and quake-- man who in his spiritual capacity becomes the interpreter of God''s message,--the focus of Divine Light?
21542Is it not obvious that Art has had but scanty share in designing our towns and manufactories?
21542L. Rawson_ The point has been raised in discussion--"Is there such a thing as pure music?"
21542On the other hand if the child never hears anyone sing, from where is the motor impulse to come?
21542Or a voice of the Undiscovered Bringing great truths to the birth?"
21542Or is it that the brain- recognition, to which we have alluded, decks out the tune in sordid or sweet trappings according to its own nature?
21542So where is now our seeming- solid matter?
21542Was there ever a mother who did not croon to her fretful child, and who did not rock her babe to sleep with rhythmic lullaby?
21542Was there ever a time when no man sang?
21542What can it profit a pupil if he gain the whole world of scales and lose his artistic soul?
21542What is the most emotional of all the Arts?
21542What is to be said to the singer of royalty ballads?
21542Wherein is the particular glory of a top note, or the specific value of a compass that extends a note- and- a- half beyond that of anyone else?
21542Which, then, is to receive the first consideration?
21542Why should it be considered meritorious to be able to bang louder or to scramble more quickly over the keys than one''s competitors?
21542Why should they?
21542Will anybody''s clothes fit me: am I not likely to secure a better fit by being measured for my own?
32248Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab and wounded the dragon? 32248 Eli, Eli, lama sabacthani?"

32248As it comes to an end he continues his song("Heavenly Tones, why seek me in the Dust?
32248Before she enters she sings an aria, of a tranquil, dreamy nature("Whither away, my Heart?

32248The MacGregors?
32248The Queen appeals to him,"What seest thou, O King?"
32248The cantata has no overture, but opens with a choral introduction("Where is the Maiden of Mortal Strain?").
32248The catastrophe accomplished, the work closes with the sad lament of Galatea for her lover("Must I my Acis still bemoan?")
32248The chorus intervenes with a reflective number("What thinks she now?
32248The chorus,"Why, my Soul, art thou vexed?"
32248The last scene opens with a joyous chorus of the people("Say, have ye heard the Tidings of Joy?
32248The musical setting of the question,"What sought they?"
32248The next melody, an_ allegro vivace_,--"What see I?
32248The next number is an effective alto solo("Art thou not it which hath dried the Sea?")
32248The second part opens with the curse of the prefect, a very passionate aria for bass("What mean these Zealots vile?
32248The second("Thou Delphic Rock, who can he be?")
32248The sentiment of the latter is expressed by the following verse:--"What mean this revel and carouse?
32248Then follows a full chorus beginning with male voices in unison("Why, my Soul, art thou cast down?
32248Then who shall call the branches bare, When gems like those are sparkling there?"
32248Wrapt not in Eastern balms, But with thy fleshless palms Stretched, as if asking alms, Why dost thou haunt me?''"
29361And the father?
29361Can it be? 29361 Do n''t you think,"said Bennett,"that his genius was the better for his poverty-- that he learned in suffering what he taught in song?"
29361Do you think so?
29361Ist es wahr? 29361 Now could anything be finer in its way than the Midsummer Night''s Dream music?
29361Oh, yes,said Schumann;"will you sing it to us?"
29361Shall we try?
29361That''s nice of you, David,replied Schumann,"but as to Mendelssohn and me, who shall decide which of us is right?
29361Wait a moment,said Mendelssohn; and going to the door he called softly,"Cecile, are you there?"
29361What do you mean?
29361What do you think of it, Bennett?
29361What is it, sir?
29361What was it?
29361Yes; but what does stir them deeply?
29361You are from England?
29361You believe in a programme then?
29361You have seen much of England, have you not, sir?
29361And did I hear the strains of a vocal recital?"
29361And has it pleased our God to lend His cheering smile in child or friend?
29361At length I turned to Mendelssohn and said,"Is that part of the new work of yours you mentioned just now?"
29361Can it be?
29361Can it be?
29361Dost thou wander through the bower, Wishing I was there with thee?
29361Lonely, midst the moonlight''s splendour, Dost thou seek for me?
29361May we enter, may we enter?"
29361Means this, love will be requited?
29361Mendelssohn and I differ about things, sometimes; but who could quarrel with him?"
29361Mendelssohn dotes on you all, does n''t he, Bennett?"
29361Now I no more can stay at home, The Maybells call me so: The flowers to the dance all roam, Then why should I not go?"
29361Or, will hope by death be blighted?"
29361Shall you mind if I scratch it through?"
29361She turned to Schumann and said softly,"And how is Clara?"
29361The flowers to the dance all roam, Then, why should I not go?"]
29361Two male voices were heard declaiming in a sort of mock- melodramatic duet,"Are you at home, are you at home?
29361When will it be ready?"
29361You recall the verses?
29361You''ll show him up, if he breaks his word, wo n''t you?"
29361he said, smiling,"you like my Overture, then?"
29361interposed Mendelssohn; and turning to me with a smile he said,"Will you allow Mr. Bennett to slander your countrymen like this?"

17462''Sire,''what do you mean?
17462Did they not?
17462Do you know that the Chevalier( Gluck''s title) has an Armida and Orlando in his portfolio?
17462Do you not think I remember my sister, Marie Antoinette?
17462Do you think the Greeks, whose manners we are endeavoring to depict, knew what a chaconne was?
17462How much can you lose by his opera,the prince replied,"supposing it be a perfect fiasco?"
17462How, sire?
17462I asked him if he had met Byron in Venice? 17462 Well, what do you want?"
17462Well?
17462What wretch has dared to tamper with the great Beethoven?
17462What''s the use? 17462 What, Baptiste,"the former said,"have you burned your opera?
17462Where would they not go,answered Cherubini,"led by such a hero as you?"
17462Where''s your music?
17462Who has taken upon him to revise Gluck?
17462You have written a mass?
17462''Papa,''he cried,''wilt thou be friends?''
17462A Milanese gentleman, whose father was very ill, met his friend in the street--"Where are you going?"
17462After my son''s death, what have you not done to honor my son''s name and render it dear to posterity?
17462Alluding to a performance of''Semiramide,''he said with a malicious smile,''I suppose you saw the beautiful decorations in it?''
17462And old Cherubini?
17462Are we at a hunting- party?
17462Are you not ashamed of such undeserved triumph?"
17462Are you surprised that he should have forgotten it too?
17462But what of the mean while?
17462But why are you here, and what can I do for you?"
17462Can we wonder that his work was a failure?
17462Do n''t you know what love is?"
17462Do n''t you remember the libretto of''Il Proscritto,''which you procured for me, and for which I have never composed the music?
17462Mendelssohn many years afterward, writing to Moscheles in Paris, asked:"Has Onslow written anything new?
17462One of the singers, every time he came to the passage, Ce mortel qu''on remarque Tient- il Plus que nous de la Parque Le fil?
17462One question only was thought of:"Is he a Gluckist or Piccinist?"
17462The clarionets were too much for him, but on seeing third and fourth horn- parts, he exclaimed:"What does the man want?
17462The conversation turning upon German music, I asked him''which was his favorite among the great masters?''
17462The following retort shows the nobility of genius:"I, sir?
17462The question was no longer,"Is he a Jansenist, a Molinist, an Encyclopædist, a philosopher, a free- thinker?"
17462Then changing his tone:"Do n''t you know your voice is a goldmine that has not been fully explored?
17462Trying in vain to reach a book on the table, he said:"Can I do nothing now in time?"
17462What can I do to please you?"
17462What would you call the man who would seek to assure you that you were superior to Raphael?"
17462Who that has once heard can forget the thrilling power of"La Marseillaise"in Schumann''s setting of Heinrich Heine''s poem of"The Two Grenadiers"?
17462Why will you not come to Konigsberg at the festival?
17462Why, in other words, are you not in Berlin?
17462he cried,"study anatomy; dissect; take part in horrible operations?
26878But how about the post, sir?
26878But how,rejoins the owner,"are you going to put studs along the joint inside without opening the instrument?"
26878Can you not do the repair without?
26878Does it require the''lining''--I think that is what it was called?
26878Good, madam? 26878 How about that wormhole, James, that we were worrying over before the separation of the upper table?"
26878I hope the treatment has not ruined the instrument, can it be restored, will it be of much value?
26878Now, James, what do you propose doing? 26878 Shall I trace the other side, sir, and mark it down on the fresh wood so as to make it balance?"
26878That will require careful work, James, think you can do it sufficiently neat and make the new wood match well?
26878Then why did you bring it to me,says the chief,"if it is impossible for me to remedy the breakage?
26878Well, what method would you propose for correcting all this and making a good restoration of it, James? 26878 Why, its back is not broken; where is the fracture?"
26878--"Don''t you see, all the way down, it is quite loose and open?"
26878----?"
26878Have you got everything ready for placing the bar?"
26878Have you got the groove cleanly cut and routed out?"
26878He asked me why I wanted"to do this all at once, instead of a part at a time?
26878How did you manage that?
26878I asked him how he had managed the rectification of the matter; did he take the upper table off?
26878Is it of nice straight grain and from the stock of that old Italian?"
26878The joint of the back too, and if there remained any evidence of system in working different to what we moderns would do?
26878The owner at once asks,"Is the back in a very bad state?"
26878There was another word underneath which I think was alum, that''s English, is n''t it?"
26878What is to be done?
26878Will it have to be taken all to pieces?
26878he calls out,"just look at this; is it past our mending?"
26878making a clean sweep of the ragged parts with the knife or letting in angular portions in the German manner?"
26878said the owner, and you say there was no necessity to take the front off?
62257Why omit the Swell, the greatest improvement of modern organs?
62257As there are five stops, and five sliders for them, are we to understand that we shall have also five upper boards?
62257Is a turning- lathe absolutely necessary as part of the plant of our factory?
62257What is to be their compass?

3788Why should you, who have already produced so many wonderful and charming compositions, still fatigue yourself with such close application?
3788Will you have vanille ice or pineapple?''
3788Will you take some coffee, with or without cream?
3788those charming meetings?
3788wherefore?
38153And will he never find her?
38153Do we offend Heaven in ceasing to suffer? 38153 In what opera did you first appear?"
38153Is it true, Madame Sembrich, that you walk two hours every day?
38153She is not yet a finished artist,these critics say, but at four- and- twenty what would you?
38153The Lilli Lehmannsmiled and said:"Why not?
38153What did you practice when you first began with the voice?--single tones?
38153Where is Carmen?
38153Who are you?
38153Who is there?
38153After telling Senta that the stranger has come to be her bridegroom, he turns to the Holländer, asking,"Did I exaggerate her loveliness?
38153As the lovers start to go, Aida asks,"By what route do the Egyptians march?
38153But her thoughts are varied, and she suddenly turns and asks:"Why do you whisper to each other?
38153But the sound of Faust''s voice recalls to her that first meeting so long ago, when he said,"My fair lady, may I walk with you?"
38153But you will come back?"
38153Calvé looked thoughtful-- she could hardly recall, until a friend who was present suggested--"it was rather intervals and arpeggios, n''est ce pas?"
38153Calvé was asked first what she thinks of when she steps before the public-- her voice, her acting, or the music?
38153Do n''t you know me?
38153He astonishes Daland with the sudden question,"Have you a daughter?"
38153He unties her hands and asks desperately,"Carmen, Carmen, do you mean it?"
38153How could it be?
38153Is she not an ornament to her sex?"
38153Now where will you get another to fill his place?''
38153She calls to him, and he asks:"Who calls in the night?
38153She entreats Werther to turn his heart elsewhere:"Why do you love me?"
38153She was then asked, by way of suggestion:"Did you ever_ hum_ in your practice?"
38153Then I asked,''Are you ready for_ anything_?
38153Then she took a pencil and paper,--and what do you suppose she wrote first?
38153Valentine exclaims,"What have I done to earn such disgrace?"
38153Valentine starts to go, but Marcel detains her with the question,"Who art thou?"
38153What did I think of it?
38153What else did I do?
38153What is it Mrs. Carter says in''Zaza''about success?
38153When Daland comes nearer, she grasps his hand, whispering,"Who is that stranger?"
38153When teaching a phrase, instead of dictating, as you would expect so great a man to do, he always asked,''How do you_ feel_ when you hear that?
38153Why can she not banish him from her mind as she did from her presence?
38153Why should she be on the Metropolitan stage?
38153With bitter tones he adds:"What joy are such riches to me?

17463But we will give you enough for it to enable you to purchase a better,he added;"and why is not your violin like others?"
17463How so?
17463I see you are astonished at the metamorphosis,said Viotti;"it is certainly_ drôle_--unexpected; but what_ could_ you expect?
17463My dear fellow,was the reply,"do you believe you are a fit man for a curacy in Finmarken or a mission among the Laps?
17463Who is it?
17463Who would not,he says,"envy me this enjoyment?
17463You are joking, then?

17463After rehearsing his mishaps, he says:"After all, of what use is such information to you?

17463But all this is nothing compared to the last( have you any more wine, Julius?).

17463In passages[ technical figures], some notes may be left to their fate without notice, but is that right?
17463In reply to the latter''s question,"Where are you going?"
17463Is it that she presents to us the most interesting productions of recent art in as short a time as possible?
17463Is it the special pride of the city with which a people regards its own natives?
17463Is this beseeching look the look of one who is sick unto death, or does there lurk behind it the mocking cunning of a miser?
17463It was his habit, when an inferior addressed him, to inquire of his companion,"What does this animal want with me?"

17463That night, as the lovers were returning home in the carriage, Spohr said to her,"Shall we thus play together for life?"
17463That seems to me somewhat unfitted to the theme; but the theme-- why did he write that in A flat?
17463The committee said,"What if the affair should not pay expenses?
17463To what end all those rapid octave passages?
17463What are all prodigies as compared with him?
17463What was to be done to supply what was wanted, so as to further the true understanding on all sides and, with it, the ultimate success of the work?
17463Who can wonder that admiration and pride should arise to enthusiasm in the breasts of his grateful countrymen?

19528Do we forget the angels when once they visit us?
19528Hark, is it not the angel voices? 19528 How did you happen to come here?"

19528What are you doing here, are all the Eastern soldiers here in this place?
19528Who is your sister?
19528After a short silence she heard another sound and she called,"Are you ill, Mary?
19528As I passed he said,"Are you going to forget your old postman of 120 Charles street, Boston?"
19528At last father spoke, with tears of gladness in his eyes,"Where is Mary, your mother, my children?"
19528Can he surmount the technical difficulties and the mechanism of the vocal organs?
19528He came up and said in an off- hand way,"Maggie, how would you like to make a Bear flag?"
19528He replied,"Will it make me sing?"
19528He said,"Are you not Miss Kroh?
19528How is it possible for them to guide the young singer when they can not give a pure tone example themselves for the pupil to follow?
19528How many of these thousands of dollars come back to these students?
19528How should the longer sung notes be taught?
19528I could not reply for a moment, and I looked at him and said,"Are you Charles Blake?"
19528I looked at him in astonishment and said,"My dear comrade, where have I seen you before?"
19528I looked up in surprise and said,"A bear flag?
19528I said,"What song would you like best to hear, now that you are sick, if you could hear anyone sing?"
19528I said,"Yes, will you do it?"
19528I said,"You were unable to hear the music today?"
19528I saw the situation and let out a merry laugh, saying,"Was it then so bad you had to cry?"
19528I was so dissatisfied, I said,"What is the matter that you do not take this note?"
19528In her girlish way Pauline used to say,"Oh, dear auntie, when I am a great singer wo n''t you be glad and proud of me?"
19528Is it real?
19528Is not then this constant vibration of the voice a gross fault?
19528Mother was awakened during the night and said,"Mary, are you up?"
19528Now what do we hear?
19528Shall I hear her sing before I go?"
19528Was ever such a windfall of good fortune as this proved to me?
19528Was this then San Francisco?
19528What kind of a flag is that?"
19528What more could anyone ask?
19528What was to be done for music?
19528When George came home he said to mother,"Where''s Maggie?"
19528When they turned to leave she asked,"Whom shall I say called?"
19528Who would not justly feel grateful for such deep respect and appreciation from neighbors and strangers?
19528Why all this work to acquire the art of producing beautiful tones?
19528Will you do one more thing for me?"

10957But now, who is the object of my love? 10957 But what did the angelic girl do when her guardian was gone?
10957How will you receive me? 10957 MY DEAR AND BELOVED FRIEND:--You still, I hope, allow me to give you this name?
10957Afterward Weber would groan,"Alas, why did I ever teach you the trick?"
10957And who can comfort my Constanze if you do not stay here?"
10957At my age, life requires a uniform equality; can this be found in our mutual relations?
10957At that time his memory was no doubt enfeebled; he had forgotten the book, why did he not re- read it?
10957At the end of the concert he was led to his room, where he sank down, a complete wreck in mind and hope, muttering:"What do you say to that?
10957But I beg you not to think so, for how could I write so beautifully if I were dead?"
10957But need we withdraw charity from one, to give to the other?
10957But now, freed of their shackles, why do they not rush to each other''s arms?
10957By every thought, in every action, in every moment of his life, there was but one feeling ever present--''How will she receive me?''
10957Can you alter the fact that you are not wholly mine, nor I wholly yours?
10957Can you not comprehend, then, why I now hold for so important that which has always played but a subordinate part in my life?
10957Could any one have woven a happiness about the life of that ferocious master of art, that pinioned, but struggling, victim of fate?
10957Had he not said in this very letter,"love me as I love you, and then we shall never cease loving each other?"
10957Had he not thence broken into French?
10957He writes:"What should I do there?
10957I do not wish to give up dreaming, for what mortal on the whole compass of the earth does not often dream?

10957Surely you do not hate me so much that I may no longer be your friend, nor you mine?
10957To this ill- timed reproof Mozart answered:"What do you mean by dreams of pleasure?
10957Was it perhaps that she did not dare?
10957What could I do?
10957What is to be done?''
10957What means this?
10957What reader can refuse this sympathy to one who felt and gave so much to one who craved sympathy as the very food of his soul?
10957What will be the result?
10957What will my own pearl say to be dissolved in the sour vinegar of domestic life, and swallowed by a bear of a husband?"
10957Who can wish that he had been?
10957Who that sincerely and truly loves can forsake his beloved?
10957Who then remains?
10957Whom now can I say it to?
10957Why indeed need we judge harshly at all?
10957Why this deep grief when Necessity decides?--can our love exist without sacrifices, and by refraining from desiring all things?
10957Why, then, thus warm- hearted and clean- hearted, thus woman- loving, did he never marry?
10957Wo duften die Cypressen?"
10957Would not the mother of the girl herself have placed the worst interpretation on such conduct?
10957Yet what is more pitiful?
10957that that bright, pure, aspiring spirit should have been dulled by distress or torn with agony?

13291What''s the matter with you?
13291Whatever are you doing, Wolferl?
13291Where are you going?
13291Who are those people?
13291Whose music did you play?
13291Whose music was that you were playing?
13291Why not,answered the mother;"you long ago promised to begin lessons with Nannerl; can she not start this very night?"
13291Yes, indeed, Papachen, may I not learn to play the piano? 13291 A Canon in the Cathedral offered to teach him Latin, and tried to make a priest of him, saying,What do you want to study music for?
13291After THAT performance?
13291And what does Liszt do?
13291But from where would the funds be forthcoming?
13291But where was the money to come from?
13291But who shall measure the father''s pride and satisfaction to have his boy return a real musical hero?
13291Did it contain joy or sorrow?
13291Do you remember your subject?
13291Do you think that some day you will become organist of Busseto?
13291Does anybody know his name?"
13291He came smiling towards me and said in the most genial manner:"''We have had some little correspondence, have n''t we?''
13291How are my friends faring?
13291How on earth was any one going to see what her friends were wearing?
13291How would Leipsic behave towards this new and serious music?
13291Is he really Leopold Antoni Stanislaw Stokowski?
13291Is it a bargain?"
13291One day the young hot heads exclaimed:''Why do we look idly on?
13291Or is Stoky just plain Lionel Stokes, the sprout of a humble cockney family?
13291Outside, his friend asked him:"Why did you drink that vile stuff?"
13291The Maestro exploded:"What?
13291The boy laughingly exclaimed,"Who could ever read such writing as that?"
13291Was his father one Joseph Boleslaw Kopernicus Stokowski, a Polish emigre who became a London stockbroker?
13291Was his mother an Irish colleen and the granddaughter of Tom Moore, who wrote"Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms"?
13291Was it possible, they asked themselves, that a child could produce such beautiful music?
13291What do you expect from your music?
13291What do you say?
13291What was to be done?
13291When he came to the conclusion he complimented the lad and said:"But how is it that you have written a double canon on my subject?"
13291When he returned home after this concert, his mother asked:"What did the people like best?"
13291When the music ceased the Duke asked:"Who is that child?
13291Whom do you think I should appoint?"
13291Why am I doomed to be here so lonely and forsaken?
13291XII FREDERIC CHOPIN What would the piano playing world do without the music of Frederic Chopin?
13291Yes, you do?
13291what are you doing?
45705''Tancredi''was your first opera which really made a great hit, maestro; how much did you get for it?
45705And your opera,''Ermione,''which one of your biographers informs us you preserve mysteriously to bequeath to posterity-- what has become of that?
45705Had you not the intention,Hiller asked,"of composing an opera on the text of''Faust?''"
45705I am not joking in the least,returned Hiller;"how can you exist without composing?"
45705Like her? 45705 New music?"
45705Now which do you like best?
45705''Have you, then, your parts to accompany these pieces?''
45705''It will warm them, perhaps,''I said to myself;''besides, what is the use of composing music, if one can not compose like Rossini?''"
45705***** Why, it may be asked, does Méry point out that Rossini''s music, in the year 1829, was applauded both by Royalists and Liberals?
45705Are we at a hunting party?
45705Dare you take such a liberty because you have paid two or three paoli for admittance?
45705If Rossini could have produced anything finer than"Guillaume Tell,"who knows but that it would have been hissed?
45705If they had begun to"embroider"before presenting the motive in all its simplicity, where would have been the proof of their inventive talent?
45705Indeed, as to pure melody, who is to be the judge?
45705Indeed, what melody, unless it be a reminiscence, is_ not_ an improvisation?
45705Is it thus that you recompense a man who for so many years has produced you enjoyment?
45705It may be thought that he at least got something for the copyright of the music?
45705Literary honours have been paid to the great impresario by Scribe, who introduces him into one of his ingenious opera- books("La Sirène,"is it not?
45705These remarks occur in Stendhal''s"Vie de Rossini,"page 263 of the 1864 edition( chapter XXXI.--Rossini se répète- t- il plus qu''un autre?
45705What would Italian singers of the year 1813 have thought of"William Tell?"
45705What, indeed, were Artemisia and Artaxerxes to them, or they to Artemisia and Artaxerxes?
45705Why did you not make an opera of it?
45705and how would their highly- decorative style have suited that simple, energetic, thoroughly dramatic music?
45705he cried;"what does the man want?
45705said Rossini,"would you have me without motive, without excitement, without a definite intention, write a definite work?
45705the whole of it?"
16431Are you not conducting the opera to- night?
16431Have had it,Reissiger replied;"how''s that for smart conducting?"
16431What more shall I write? 16431 Who would not yield who heard the heavenly maid?"
16431("Was ever poet so trusted?"
16431But supposing that he did wish to teach us something in the_ Dutchman_, what on earth can it be?
16431But was it?
16431But what am I saying?
16431Can we wonder that both sides were disappointed?
16431Did they or the still mightier Beethoven dream of creating a Bayreuth?
16431Do you happen to know anything definite about the state of the police inquiry?
16431Finely endowed personalities like Mozart and Chopin did much: did they write a_ Ring_ or a_ Tristan_?
16431For instance: does the general management propose to place my work upon the stage with the outlay indispensable to a brilliant effect?
16431Had ever such a life so perfectly beautiful an ending?
16431He begins a long expostulation:"How is it that the two people dearer to him than all the world have so betrayed his trust?"
16431He replies that he can not answer Mark''s"Why?"
16431How few men care more for themselves than for their stomachs?
16431I have written to Herr Tichatschek, and commended myself to his amiability: shall I be able to count on this gentleman?"
16431In vain Fricka expostulates, repeating( in homely phrase),"What about Freia?"
16431In_ Hamlet_ the hero has been philosophizing to his heart''s content, when a funeral procession approaches--_ Hamlet_: What, the fair Ophelia?
16431King Ludwig was supposed to do it; but where on earth was Ludwig''s money to come from if not out of the taxpayers''pockets?
16431Krebs is clever-- so is Michalesi-- what more do you want?
16431Not any casuistry or splitting of hairs can alter the plain fact--"Wirst du des Vaters Wahl nicht schelten?
16431Not, surely, that one should not swear rash oaths in a temper?
16431One asked,"Are you afraid?"
16431Presently the shepherd looks over the wall and asks how the master fares, does he still sleep?
16431The red dawn slowly breaks; Tristan hides Isolda with his cloak; Melot turns to Mark and says,"Did I not tell you so?"
16431The salary lifted a burden off his shoulders for a while; and was he not appointed to the very post his idol Weber had occupied?
16431The theme is, What is love, and how do we recognize it?
16431They have only a few minutes to live and to love: why not speak?
16431Wann wirst du, bleicher Seemann, sie finden?
16431Was er versprach, wie?--dürft''es gelten?"
16431Was it the only way to get rid of the lady-- a_ pis aller_?--a last remnant of the old- fashioned technique?
16431Well, do I seem quite mad to you?
16431What could possibly happen?
16431What did the luxury amount to?
16431What is the meaning of it all?
16431What is the ordinary care about the so- called future of citizen life compared with the feeling that we are not tyrannized over in our noblest aims?
16431What then?
16431Which is the nearer approach to an ideal of noble manhood?
16431Yet, I say, how can we feel surprise?
16431and Tristan, bewildered, asks,"Where are we?"
16431and, above all, what is any one called on to renounce?
16431and, if so, in what sense?
16431but Mark continues, putting in a dozen ways the same question,"Why, why have they done this?"
16431or loses anything by not renouncing?
16431was he to run the chance of failure by writing, or copying, one really expressive measure?
16431who gains anything by renouncing?
42097And is this your prize gavotte?
42097And did you hear That little twitter- and- cheep, Breaking inordinately loud and clear On this still spectral exquisite atmosphere?
42097And is it nothing to have achieved that this benediction should have been possible after such a life?...
42097And the finale?
42097But is it not all just a little too cruel?
42097Did he not achieve in his"Third Leonora"something that no one has ever equalled or can ever hope to equal in the domain of the dramatic overture?
42097Did he not individualise Leonora in music as well as Mozart had individualised the much less exalted characters of Donna Anna and Zerlina?
42097Did he not make music in association with Goethe''s"Egmont"that seems to belong for evermore to that drama?
42097Dr. Elgar is another composer whose music means something; but what chance is there for us to understand him?
42097For musicians there are schools; but what school is there for critics?
42097How then can one blame Elgar for not composing two in six months?
42097I heard him once appeal to his wife;''Am I not always open to conviction?''
42097In a letter of 1881, he writes:--"How can we escape from Swinburne?
42097In the meantime what about the truth and the critical currency?
42097Is it Strauss''s deliberate intention to abolish rhythm?
42097Johnstone is in the grand circle, what does he think?''
42097Perhaps the most absolutely perfect examples occur at the words"What are these wounds in Thine hands?"
42097To what did this sensibility tend, what did it crave for?
42097Was not Darwin known for many years as the preposterous eccentric who said men were descended from monkeys?
42097What other pianist at the present day, we venture to ask, could give us such a thing?
42097When he desires to shake off his habitually gloomy and brooding state, how does he set about it?
42097Who ever heard a"satisfactory"performance of the"Missa Solennis"?
42097Who will fill his place?"
42097Why does he always play Liszt''s second Rhapsodie?
42097Why does he never play Bach?
42097Why does he not write a play?
42097Why will he insist on using a pianoforte with so hard a tone?
42097Would he add to the well- known saying,"_ Am Anfang war der Rhythmus_"the rider"_ aber jetzt nicht mehr_?"
42097Yes, those bonfires which blaze up-- do you know what they are?
39571Are you sure that this was true?
39571Is that a man brought into the arena at the moment of death, like a dying gladiator, to delight the public with his convulsions? 39571 _ A la Giraffe?_"asked the salesman.
39571A Signora Righetti, a singer, writing in 1823(?
39571A certain M. Bergman, a( Swedish?)
39571But did violin playing benefit?
39571But how was Rossini likely to know the facts of the case?
39571But how?
39571But the question remains: did Paganini''s playing result in any permanent benefit to the art?
39571But what are gorgeous monuments?
39571Can one recall"the touch of a vanished hand?"
39571Did Paganini influence the art of violin playing, and in what direction?
39571Did he and Paganini ever meet?
39571Does the true artist value the case more than the instrument?
39571Everyone asked himself: What will he do with that?
39571Had he a permanent influence, and if so, was it for good?
39571How shall we account for this pitiful state of things, this gulf between the performer and the auditor?
39571How was it that the devil and the violin came into relationship?
39571In 1793 Paganini made his_ début_ in the great Theatre of Genoa( the Carlo Felice?).
39571In the present day Paganini''s music is looked upon with pity not far removed from scorn; how did his contemporaries esteem it?
39571Is it as easy to account for other traits of his character?
39571Is it worth while at this distance of time to refer to the actual playing of Paganini?
39571Is not Bach''s"Aria"played everywhere as a fourth string solo?
39571Is there anything more beautiful than the tribute paid him by Leigh Hunt?
39571Is there no brighter side to this picture?
39571Or is it one risen from the dead, a vampire with a violin, who, if not the blood out of our hearts, at any rate sucks the gold out of our pockets?
39571That aloofness, that scorn of the world, that hard bargaining:"Take me or leave me,"revealing callous indifference, was there no cause for all that?
39571The importunities of the youth, aided by the prayers of the mother, at length prevailed, and in care of the elder brother afterwards Dr. Paganini(?)
39571They engaged a young composer, Danna( Dana?
39571What I want to ask is simply this:--upon what work, or whose work, was Paganini''s first concerto modelled?
39571What kind of age was it that produced Paganini?
39571Where then is the authority for the former?
39571Why seek ye the living among the dead?
39571Why?
39571Would Berlioz write a solo for him?
39571Would you believe it, Sir?
39571[ 31] Now, what was the reason for exhuming the remains?
39571[ 36] In the"Bow Bell''s Annual"for 1878(?)
39571[ 40] Now was this the outcome of a subsequent conversation with Rossini, or an amplification of the"gossip"at Trouville?
39571[ 9] Son of Giuseppe Dana, of Naples?
39571and his fiddle?"
32980Advertising?
32980And now, one question,says Mademoiselle,"Is your stage level, or does it slope towards the back?
32980But where do the artists of the theatres usually live?
32980Well, after all,answered my mother,"who knows where most of the great singers of today made their débuts?"
32980What is this institution?
32980What were they doing?
32980_ Sind Sie satt?_They would ask each other gravely--"_Ich bin nicht satt!_"Meaning literally,"Are you full?"
32980_ Sind Sie satt?_They would ask each other gravely--"_Ich bin nicht satt!_"Meaning literally,"Are you full?"
32980A Cockney super, on his way out, remarked in passing me,"I s''y, wot price Destinn''s hat?"
32980A porter caught sight of me, pushed back the other men on both sides of me, and said,"Get out of the loidy''s wy, cahn''t yer, Bill?
32980And indeed why should one have?
32980And then why stick slavishly to the bow tie of white cotton?
32980And yet what is a young fellow in his position to do?
32980Are n''t my things good enough for you?"
32980But_ what_ would the Kaiser say?
32980Can you flip them from the edge of the table into your own hand?
32980Can you?"
32980Could n''t the curls then be worn at least three times without being re- dressed?
32980During the second year I was told one day:"This is Irene''s wedding day; will you say something to her?"
32980F---- hailed him and said,"But where''s your horse?"
32980For form''s sake he kept saying,"_ Sie verstehen mich, Fräulein?_"and when I answered"_ Ja_,"he was satisfied.
32980He rushed at me and caught my wrists and shouted,"_ Was faellt Ihnen denn ein_"("What''s the matter with you?")
32980How can they enter into the spirit of an opera when they are guessing whether that is a love phrase or an insult that the tenor is singing?
32980I remember his singing,"And how would you get your ships along, Admiral, If your sails and oars were shot overboard?"
32980I said once to F----,"Is Karl your servant?"
32980I used to say to them,"But how can I ever get experience if you wo n''t give me a chance?"
32980My sister said,"Why did you make up with rouge and not have the pallor we agreed upon?"
32980One clever actor always made his greatest climax by suddenly throwing back his coat edge as he finished a"There, what do you say to that?"
32980S---- was famous for his sharpness in choosing and trading horseflesh, and F---- used to call him on the''phone, saying"Is this Herr S----?
32980Students often ask me"How did you get your first engagement?"
32980The Director said at once,"How much did they offer you in----?"
32980The Parthenon freeze-- is it not music?
32980The old Dames call out to you,"Well, Madamsche'', nothing from me today?
32980Then I thought"Flowers or no flowers?"
32980There is a curious phrase for parents--"How are your_ Herren_ Parents?"
32980There was a tank of real water on the stage, in which they loved to splash, but do you suppose a German goose was ever allowed to go near it?
32980Therefore in our short talk before the second act, I told him my positions as nicely as I could, he saying to everything,"_ Aber warum?
32980Unbecoming-- it was admitted--, but"man"did it in Paris and should Darmstadt lag behind?
32980Warum?_"( But why, why?).
32980Warum?_"( But why, why?).
32980What example was he to the others?
32980When I appeared on the stage, they all demanded"And what, pray, are_ you_ supposed to represent?"
32980Where in America in a town of Darmstadt''s size could you see such a performance?
32980Who longed for real, that is, one- side real, tents-- with steam escaping from a semi- hidden pipe through the top?
32980Would I be so awfully kind as I was coming anyway, to help her out?
32980Yesterday I bought a bunch of violets, and do you know why?
32980endlich weiss man was est ist ein schoenes Weib i m Arm zu haben?_"("Ah!
33168Are you sure?
33168Do n''t you know me?
33168Indeed, and of what is she guilty?
33168Well, ca n''t we look at them?

14339And thou? 14339 And thou?
14339Have I not been a pleasure and a comfort to you? 14339 All these things, are they true, you ask? 14339 Am I not there? 14339 And am I not ever about you, at home, in school, in church? 14339 And are they not already more_ luminous_ to you? 14339 And do you remember what we said luminous means? 14339 And dost thou know why? 14339 And how are blessings bestowed? 14339 And how do they get it? 14339 And how shall this be done? 14339 And is it not quite as plain to see that no one can get much if he gives but a few unwilling minutes to it? 14339 And what do we gain by pursuing it? 14339 And what is in thy heart when thou art before the glass? 14339 And what is music making our thoughts say? 14339 But how? 14339 Did we not say then that the first duty of a listener is to the one who speaks for his good? 14339 Did you ever notice how people seem willing to stop any employment if music comes near? 14339 Did you think when I read you that bit from the letter of Mendelssohn that all a composer has to do is to find in his heart just what he wants to say? 14339 Do you know how it is that people do great things? 14339 Do you know the inscription that used to be over the north gate of the city of Siena, in Italy? 14339 Do you know what a sad thing it was for the man not to increase that one talent which had been given to him? 14339 Do you think that is strange? 14339 Do you wonder that composers revere their art? 14339 Does this not teach us how thankful we should be to all those who live usefully? 14339 Dost thou know that there are in the world uncounted poor ones, children like thyself, who have not their daily bread? 14339 Dost thou not know that often, even with much trouble, thou canst not please thyself? 14339 Every one does it do you say? 14339 For if this does its part, for what more can you wish? 14339 From this can we learn to understand the great secret of it all? 14339 Have I not let you sing your greatest happiness? 14339 Have I not set you to singing and to dancing many and many times? 14339 Have you ever stopped to think of another matter: that all things about us, except the things that live, have been made by hands? 14339 How do we command? 14339 How do you imagine such a man was to his friends? 14339 If music gives us happiness, do we not in learning it gain a power to contribute happiness to others? 14339 May I go for the others some day?
14339Nothing, do you say?
14339Now more and more, and now will you give me up because I make you work a little?"
14339Now what does vivacious mean?
14339Now, is it not clear that this can come about only when we watch over our own thoughts and govern them as if they were the thoughts of others?
14339Now, what can be the value of speaking about the Roman lady?
14339Now, what have we learned about schools and school- tasks?
14339Now, when it is all over, what is there of it?
14339Sometimes it leads him to say very droll things; for instance:"Have you any sense in your head?
14339That the plant was given more room?
14339The fingers are drumming, twitching, twirling, closing, opening, doing a multitude of motions which mean what?
14339The pupils of the great Viennese teacher of the piano, Theodor Leschetizky, say he asks no question more frequently than"Can you not hear?"
14339Well, let us not stop to hear about the way he found, but he did get his request to the Emperor and, after a while, what happened do you think?
14339What am I to do?"
14339What are they all doing?
14339What do we learn?
14339What for?
14339What relation is there between the music in the mind and the tones produced by the piano?
14339What shall these truths teach us?
14339When is the best time to lead water out of the spring, and music out of the heart?
14339Where shall we look for music that it may be led out?
14339Where, do you think?
14339Why do you not make use of it then?
14339Why?
14339You can sing them quite loudly(_ can_ you sing them?)
14339[ 37] It comes from two other words, does it not?
14339[ 8] Do you wonder?
14339not the hands alone but all we do and say?
17461''A musician? 17461 ''I hope, sir,''observed the doctor,''you do not include me among those who did injustice to your talents?''
17461''Now, how gan you demand of me dat zilly question, you who are a musician and a man of science, Togder Peepbush? 17461 ''So, sir, I presume you are come to witness the trial of skill at the old round church?
17461''Well, and how do you find yourself, my dear sir?'' 17461 ''What, down- stairs?''
17461''Where is he?'' 17461 ''Whom have you got there, then?''
17461And the Germans,he goes on to say,"what palm is due to them?
17461Do n''t you see Handel''s wig?
17461The old woman was the first to speak:''Any coaches or mourners coming?'' 17461 We both desired to correspond, but through whom?
17461What do you think of the charming Billington''s picture?
17461What do you wish?
17461What is that?
17461What is the meaning of all this?
17461Where on earth could they be?
17461Who are you?
17461Whose music is it?
17461Why not?
17461''Who holds up hands?''
17461After greeting Beethoven, I said:''Will you permit me to introduce my brother to you?''
17461Again, to you nod remember dat ubstardt buppy Senesino, and the goxgomb Farinelli?
17461Again:"What is all this compared to the grandest of all Masters of Harmony-- above, above?"
17461And for vot?
17461Are not the pleasures of a transient, capricious passion widely different from the happiness produced by rational and true love?
17461Arne?"
17461Barth glanced through the composition, then sang it, and soon grew into such enthusiasm as to draw from Beethoven the expression,"No?
17461But who is that gentlemanly man leaning over the chamber- organ?
17461Do you not every day become more convinced of the truth of the little lectures I used to inflict on you?
17461Handel?''
17461Have I not been kissed by the queen?"
17461Hey, mine friendt?
17461His father refused, saying,"How can you?
17461Next, again, mine some- dimes nodtable rival Bononcini, and old Borbora?
17461Oh first created Beam, and thou, great Word,''Let there be light,''and light was over all, Why am I thus bereaved thy prime decree?
17461Pompadour refused to kiss him, saying:"Who is she, that she will not kiss me?
17461Some of the above are real masterpieces; but, with the exception of''The waves of the sea rage horribly,''and''Who is God but the Lord?''
17461The characteristic reply was a Parthian arrow:"Vat te tevil I trow my money away for dat vich the blockhead vish''?
17461The composer cried out, in a rage:"Do n''t you see he is lying?
17461Then, laughing:''Berhaps, Mister Golley Cibbers, you may like to pote this to the vote?
17461Vat gan it concern you whether I have one votdermans or two votd- ermans-- whether I bull out mine burce for to pay von shilling or two?
17461Veil, mein friendts, andt how vags the vorldt wid you, mein tdears?
17461Vogl, a fortnight afterward, sang it in the lower key to his friend, who remarked:"Really, that_ Lied_ is not so bad; who composed it?"
17461What''s your name?"
17461Who would grudge the moisture of his eyes if he could render it immortal in the strains of Schubert''s''Lob der Thrâne?''"
17461Who would not battle with the iciest blast of the north if out of storm and snow he could bring back to his chamber the germs of the''Winterreise?''
17461With abrupt, passionate intensity of tone Schubert answered,"What''s the use of that?
17461Would the solitary man at the opposite table assist us?
17461and Beethoven immediately rushed off, seized hold of my brother, saying:''Am I such a savage that you are afraid to come near me?''
17461do n''t I know better as yourself vaat it pest for you to sing?
17461do you think I have not dined?"
17461if the trees at moonlight sang always so harmoniously?"
17461is Handel dead?"
17461when shall I feel it again in the temple of Nature and man?
17461you do n''t mean to say that little blackamoor"( alluding to Haydn''s brown complexion and small stature)"composed that symphony?"
11419''Do you see that stout English woman in the proscenium? 11419 And do you mean to say that all my industry and simplicity, and all that I have done are quite lost upon your father?
11419And he wrote her:"Did you not feel that I was there?"
11419And speaking of types, what shall we say of this cloud of witnesses, bearing the most honoured name in music, the name of Bach?
11419Another day Clara saw him taking his coffee with his sister- in- law, and she repeated his query:"Did you not feel that I was there?"
11419As for Wagner''s heroism for his art, has there ever been anything like it?
11419But how shall we blame or praise music for its effect upon Beethoven''s heart, in the face of the antipodal life of such a fellow bachelor as Händel?
11419But love me well; do you hear?
11419But speaking of violinists, what would become of them if there never had been makers of violins, especially such luthiers as the Amati?
11419But who could estimate the value of the struggle in strengthening and deepening their love for each other and their worthiness for each other?
11419Can there be any secret technical virtue in being kidnapped thus?
11419Can we not say the same of the sentimental?
11419Could God turn my eighteenth birthday into a day of mourning?
11419Do I truly love her?
11419Do you imagine that my heart did not tremble?"
11419Do you realise what that means?
11419Do you remember that two years ago on Christmas Eve you gave me white pearls and mother said then:''Pearls mean tears''?
11419Do you truly love her and for all time?
11419Even Minna seems to have been extremely fond of Liszt-- what woman was not?
11419He gave this answer to the maid:"Who then is this Mam''selle Wieck?
11419He wrote:"Am I not an expert accountant?
11419How could she have expected I was to be shackled and fettered as any ordinary cold common mortal?
11419How do the Germans compare?
11419How is such an art as this to compel, or to deny anything or anybody?
11419How many children did they want for compatibility''s sake?
11419If I did not love her and did not wish to incite her further love for me, why did I call on her and how could all this end?
11419If, by chance, either of these presentiments had proved true, who would have been satisfied with the explanation of mere coincidence?
11419Is it not the man and the environment rather than the music that makes such a life what it is?
11419It is this: Will you not devote a few moments of your life to acting as messenger between two parted souls?
11419Once, she jokingly demanded why he had never dedicated anything to her, and the legend says he cried:"Why should I, when everything I write is yours?"
11419Robert has 12,000 thalers, and shall he give his wife two- thirds?"
11419Shall we not say that he was as truly influenced by music as Jacques de Wert?
11419Shall we not, then, thank old Wieck for his fine lessons in psychical culture?
11419True, our future is known only to God, but why should you foresee that you will be robbed of your career?
11419Wait and ask each other,''Do I really love him?
11419Was it from him that Beethoven caught his own fickleness along with so much of his musical manner?
11419What could have been better for the purpose than to have made them parade before us in historic mardi- gras?
11419What did she know of the divine right of passion, which I announce in the flame- death of the Walküre who has fallen from the grace of the gods?
11419What do you expect?
11419What next then, my dear Clara, what next?
11419Which of these is fairly typical as a musician?
11419Who can doubt that their progeny will be remarkable?"
11419Who was she?
11419Who would not love to hear that?
11419Whose fault was it?
11419Why did I do this?
11419Why worry whether you live at Moscow or St. Petersburg?
11419Will he( or she) share with me the joys and sorrows of life unto the grave?''"
11419Would it not be a great pity if there were never such a gymnasium as parental resistance for lovers to exercise their hearts in?
11419Would you believe it?
11419and ca n''t we once in a while drink champagne?"
11419do you understand that?
18560Is it possible to play those tones on your instrument?
18560And if so, by what means?
18560And is it not equally true that Wagner''s style of music discourages singing of this sort, or, in fact, singing of any sort?
18560Are not all my compositions dedicated to you?"
18560At sight of these confused groups of chairs and tables Weber suddenly exclaimed,"Look here, Roth, does n''t that look like a great triumphal march?
18560But one day she asked him why he never dedicated any of his compositions to her, whereupon he replied,"Why should I?
18560Chopin not able to master the sonata form?
18560Do you know his symphony in C?
18560Does it make us less inclined to murder, stealing, lying, lust, avarice, anger, hatred, jealousy, dishonesty, cruelty, and other vices?
18560Does it not bring many pictures before your mind?"
18560Does it not seem incredible that the Italian operatic composers should have ignored such poetic means of deepening the emotional color of their songs?
18560Does not this amount to an eloquent and universal presumption that musical people are generous and kind- hearted?
18560Does the influence of music make us less inclined to perpetrate murder, suicide, or cruel practices?
18560During the period of captivity the Israelites at first gave way to despondency, exclaiming,"How shall we sing the Lord''s song in a strange land?"
18560For, what is the object of life?
18560In what manner does music affect our moral character?
18560Is it not about time to put an end to this absurd Jumboism in music?
18560Is it not absurd to say that such an art has no moral value?
18560Is it not asking a good deal of the Leipsic citizens to support the poor relatives and descendants of all the great men that city has produced?
18560Is it only among the ancient and primitive people, and among the musically uneducated, that the divine art exerts an emotional influence?
18560Is it to toil like a galley slave and never have any amusements?
18560Is not such a pleasure worth cultivating, even if it involves some toil at first?
18560Is not that remarkable?
18560Is this a compliment?
18560Now, why has the world been so slow in recognizing that Chopin stands in the very front rank of creative musicians?
18560Of course it is not"beautiful;"but is that a reasonable objection?
18560On the other hand, have you ever heard anyone compare the voices of Lehmann, Materna, Sucher, or Malten to a bird''s voice?
18560Or are you, perhaps, like myself, who have all my life placed vocal music below instrumental, and never considered it a great art?
18560To this class of stockholders what difference can it make whether they have German or Italian opera?
18560V ITALIAN AND GERMAN VOCAL STYLES Why is it that most persons are more interested in vocal than in instrumental music?
18560Was it not to refresh the mind of man After his studies, or his usual pain?"
18560What do we do when we go to a restaurant and look over the bill of fare?
18560What is this advantage?
18560When Congreve wrote that"music hath charms to soothe the savage breast,"did he not mean to imply that educated people are not affected by it?
18560When will teachers and pupils wake up and recognize the new situation?
18560Who, on the other hand, has ever heard of a renegade Wagnerite?
18560Why are the lower classes in Germany so much less brutal, degraded, and dangerous than the same classes in England?
18560Why is so large a proportion of our plays frivolous and vulgar?
18560Why worry one''s self for a public that does not even listen?"
18560Why, then, taboo the opera and jeopardize its existence, leaving the field to the frivolous operettas and farces?
18560Why?
18560Would anyone assert that a man who thus loudly beats time with his boots is more deeply affected by the music than you or I who keep quiet?
18560Yet is not a rosebud a thousand times more beautiful than a full- blown rose?

39925_ Clown_:''Hold thy peace, thou knave,''knight? 39925 After listening carefully for some time, I turned to my table companion and said,Could you tell me who is speaking, and what the language is?"

39925How much longer then is it intended to continue on these lines?
39925I replied,"Sir Charles, it was perfectly splendid, and, if not a liberty, may I say, that your conducting was simply magnificent?"
39925In the course of the conversation, I said,"I can never understand what caused you to write so virulently about----"He interrupted me with"Did I?
39925In"Hamlet":--"_ Hamlet_:... Will you play upon this_ pipe_?
39925Is there no respect of place, persons, nor time in you?"
39925It is then, obviously unfair to public and critic alike, and if to them, what is to be said of the person criticised?
39925It may be said,"Why cite a man who is known to have had fits of temporary insanity?"
39925Jésus de Nazareth?...
39925Shall we do that?
39925She asked me how I came there?
39925The retort came instantly:"Dat is so?
39925Then one of them said to his mate,"Where shall we our break- fast take?"
39925To what other cause than the lack of individuality or national genius can such a state of things be attributed?
39925To what, then, must we look for its failure to retain so honourable a position?
39925We are going to stay over here and shew that we are your superiors, and you will have to submit quietly while we are taking time to do it?"
39925Well, has he succeeded after his hundred years''trial?
39925Well, when the high priests of a cult differ, who is to decide?
39925What led Handel to devote himself to the composition of sacred music?
39925What words, for instance, could adequately portray the work of such men as Oscar Beringer or Johannes Wolff?
39925What, for instance, must have been their feeling of ecstacy when the first harmonious_ triad_ fell upon the ears of the amazed monks?
39925What, then, had happened to hold out a promise of better results?
39925Who can tell?
39925Why?
39925Why?
39925Will not some of the young English composers, in their days of youth and enthusiasm, emulate so splendid an example?

59085But was there ever a thinker less enigmatical?
59085Did Aristotle invent the syllogism, or did he not merely gather from about him some fragments of rudimentary procedure?

59085In the expression of joy, was it Bach''s intention to remind us that happiness is never complete, that it is always accompanied by mourning?
59085Is it a prayer which rises, or the dew of a grace which softly falls like the rain?
59085Is it not of some interest to see brought together, in a work of Bach''s, these extremes in music?

43539Wo n''t you tell me how the song was written?
43539A comrade who was with me sang out,''Good heavens, Cap, what are those fellows made of, anyway?
43539And he said to him,"What are you doing here?

5197Had I done anything criminal in the eye of the law or not?

5197How could we expect the kindlers of such a fire to retain any consciousness after so vast a devastation?
5197How was this to be done?
5197I played Ueb''immer Treu und Redlichkeit, and my father said to her,''Is it possible he has musical talent?''

5197Suddenly turning towards them he called in a sepulchral tone,''Are the violas dying?''

5197To all this I said not a word, but finally with a smile asked him whether he would like to go over to Zurich?
5197Very much astonished he asked:''Est- ce que je n''ai pas de trombones?''
5197Was any one of us so mad as to fancy that he would survive the desired destruction?
5197What would be the consequence?
5197Why do I deserve such favour?''
5197With a ring of compassion in his voice, he replied that my question was wholly mistaken; in what would the novelty consist?

38223What on earth have you got that for?
38223Will you consider, too, whether it is justifiable that no other dramatic figure besides Elijah appears? 38223 ''Would not that be splendid for an oratorio?'' 38223 ( Is that a reason why you should come then?) 38223 15{ 11}, is not the accent extírpate a wrong one? 38223 18{ 13}, could not the words''with lancets cut yourselves after your manner''be kept? 38223 22{ 16}, could not the end be:''and we shall have no other god before Him,''or''the Lord''( from Exodus xx., 3)? 38223 30,''that Thou would''st please destroy me''sounds so odd to me-- is it scriptural? 38223 Again the music should be altered for the Bible version''s sake in this:--[ Music: Wilt thou indeed show wonders to the dead?] 38223 An Irishman, boasting of his country, said:''It had an Echo, which, if you said''How d''ye do?'' 38223 And if not, could not the sentence be''Blessed is the man who fears Him, who delights,''and so on? 38223 And now he does not come? 38223 And perhaps would it be possible to leave out''of the sun,''and only say''from the rising''( this is done very often, at least in our German Bible)? 38223 And why not? 38223 At its conclusion Mendelssohn took him by both hands and said:What can I give you in return for what you have done for my work?"
38223But in reading over these words I wonder whether the word''Gentiles''can not be objected to?
38223But what is Elijah to say before and after this?
38223Can one say of Baal that he is an idol of the''Gentiles''?
38223Can such an one be found?"
38223Can we meet on the 18th at Mr. Klingemann''s?
38223Can you find appropriate words for this purpose?

38223I do not quite like_ your two_ slurs at the end; and as you do not like_ my_ notation, what if we tried a third mode?
38223I have not as yet got a final chorus; what would you advise it to be?
38223In England the oratorio has taken its place, if not on a level with"The Messiah,"very near it; and what more does any work of musical art require?
38223In a letter to Mendelssohn, dated January 17, 1840, Schubring says:"How about''Elijah''?
38223Indeed, Jeremiah seems to use the word in that sense, but do we not use it exclusively in another sense?
38223Is this the inference you also draw from the subject, and is this the sense in which you conceived an affection for it?
38223It is in the slow movement, the passage of Isaiah liii., 1,''Aber wer glaubt uns''rer Predigt?''
38223It is very difficult to fathom a composer''s mind; but what_ can_ be the connection between"torches"and the key of F minor?

38223Now, could you not say''_ call His name_,''instead of''call upon His name?''

11633But who thy father?
11633Whence art thou?
11633Who is the foe that assails us? 11633 Who sent thee here?"
11633''Tis Kundry, wretched Kundry, mad old Kundry-- Perhaps she brings us urgent news?
11633And Gurnemanz cried out:"Who shot the swan?
11633And Klingsor asked:"What has there come to thee?
11633And Klingsor spake again:"Awakest thou?
11633And Klingsor spake with a great voice of scorn:"Thou wouldst amend the mischief thou hast done?...
11633And Parsifal in sudden sorrow cried:"What have I done to let this curse go on?
11633And Parsifal spake slowly to himself:"Was all this nothing but a passing dream?"
11633And Parsifal, still standing high aloof, Spake courteously:"Didst thou call to me And name me who am nameless unto all?"
11633And art thou but another wanton flower That bloomest in this evil garden here?"
11633And can it be that now the trials are ended And peace has come, and holiness at last?
11633And eagerly the herald asked:"What cure is this, And who the healer that can save the King?"
11633And how didst thou come here, and whence, and why?"
11633And on his asking,"Whence this healing balm?"
11633And one spake up:"Why lies that woman there,-- A foul and snarling thing on holy ground?
11633And pacified they ask:"Thou comest here And wilt not harm us, but be kind to us?"
11633And straight he asked:"And shall I see the King?"
11633And the King asked:"Whence came this balsam flask, So strange in form, and who has brought it here?"
11633And this poor swan, so mild and beautiful,--- How could thy heart determine on such deed?
11633Are these my thanks, that from the sleep of death I waked thee?"
11633Art thou astray, and may I give thee aid?...
11633Besides, dost thou not know what day this is?
11633But Gurnemanz, who knew her well, replied:"What harm has ever come to you from her?
11633But Kundry-- for''t was she-- cried out in grief:"O heart, that feelest for Amfortas''woe, Hast thou no feeling for my dire distress?
11633But tell me, what has passed since last we met?
11633But what care I, you puny, craven race?
11633But who is this That now I see approaching through the woods And drawing slowly near the holy spring?
11633But, do I err, this place seems somehow changed From what it was in days of yore?
11633Can blindness mean impurity and sin, And may it be that I am all deceived,-- My way all lost, my hopes forever gone?"
11633Didst thou not hear her sorrowful lament When thou didst roam too far or late from home?
11633Didst thou not marvel at its queenly flight, And feel a reverence in thine inmost soul?
11633Do I not treat thee with a better grace, And use thee for the mightiest of deeds?
11633Dost thou not see how wicked is thy deed?"
11633From whence then hast thou come?
11633Has some one else awaked thee from thy sleep?"
11633Hast thou gone?
11633He listened for awhile, then spake:"What moans From yonder thicket come?
11633How fares my Lord Amfortas''health to- day?
11633I only wait for Him,--''_ By pity''lightened._''Was not this the word?"
11633No word for me, but bowing of thy head?
11633Not know the day?
11633Or must I die, denied the saving vision?"
11633Say, Kundry, wake and answer me this word?
11633Then Gurnemanz:"Hast thou no word for me?
11633Then Gurnemanz:"Too true thine every word, But tell me, pray, for whom thou here dost seek?"
11633Then asked the boy in sweetest innocence:"And who are wicked, tell me, and who good?"
11633Then asked the lad:"What is this thing, the Grail?"
11633Then did they chide him:"Art afraid of us, Or art thou also cold, as well as coward?
11633Then on they moved, and softly spake the lad:"I scarcely move, and yet I seem to run,-- What is the meaning of this strange new thing?"
11633Then said the King:"Without our word?
11633Then spake the King:"O Kundry, restless, strange, Am I again thy debtor for such help?
11633Thou camest here to save the King from sin, Why not save me and bring me my redemption?
11633To whom spake Gurnemanz:"What mean''st thou, boy, By such a cruel, shameless deed as this?"
11633Wagner mentions that this Scripture was often in his mind when writing Parsifal--"Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
11633Were not the woodland creatures kind to thee,-- Did not the sweet birds sing their songs to thee, When first thou camest to these leafy haunts?
11633What better hast thou found than me and mine?"
11633What drew thee here but the desire to know?"
11633What have I done, O sweetest, dearest, gentlest mother mine, That I thy son shouldst bring thee to thy death?
11633What have I yet remembered to my good?
11633What heathen darkness hath been thine abode That thou rememberest not this holy day,-- The ever- hallowèd Good- Friday morn?
11633What saw I?
11633What tempted thee to shoot the fatal shaft, And slay the bird and grieve the loving King?...
11633What will it help,--or this, or e''en the bath?
11633Where hadst thou been in those dark evil days,-- At home, afar, awake or fast asleep,-- When our good King did lose the holy Spear?
11633Where has he wandered since that luckless day?
11633Where is my dear Gawain?"
11633Who calls me by that gentle mystic name, That once my mother named me in her dreams?"
11633Who dared to wound him with the sacred Spear?"
11633Who knows?
11633Why have I wasted all these precious years In wandering, while here was deepest woe?
11633Why should I turn again to dreadful life?
11633Why were you not at hand to give us help?"
11633Wilt thou unveil the Grail and bid me live?...
11633Yet dare I sleep?
11633what wouldst thou do to save thy soul?

20318But wo n''t you tell us your name?"
20318Can you not close your eyes and see them-- the mighty giant of fourscore, with his whitened locks, and the slight, slender, handsome boy?

20318How shall I live?
20318In the time of the Crusaders, the tired children would ask at night- time, when the tents were pitched,"Is this Jerusalem?"
20318Is that a man brought into the arena at the moment of death, like a dying gladiator, to delight the public with his convulsions?
20318Is that the entreating gaze of one sick unto death, or is there lurking behind it the mockery of a crafty miser?
20318It was about this time that Zelter threw out the hint that he was going down to Weimar to see his friend Goethe-- would Felix like to go?
20318Knowing these things, do we wonder at the question of long ago,"Who is my mother, and who are my brethren"?

20318No one ever asked this man,"Kind sir, are you anybody in particular?"
20318Or is it one risen from the dead, a vampire with a violin, who, if not the blood out of our hearts, at any rate sucks the gold out of our pockets?
20318Robert''s mother believed in her boy-- what mother does not?

20318The calamity of blindness did not much depress him--"What matters it so long as I can hear?"

20318This is my busy night-- do you not see?"

20318Who was it that I heard say once, that years ago he saw Clara Schumann sitting in tears near the platform during one of Liszt''s performances?
20318Why do you come to hear it?"
20318Without mother- love how would the cross- grained, perverse little tyrant ever survive the buffets which the world is sure to give?
20318Yet Achille always stoutly maintained the distinction-- but what boots it, since he could not play his father''s violin?

36728Do you know he left still another work?
36728Do you mean it?
36728Do you still sing?
36728How could I dare to speak of my work to the director of the Opéra?
36728In this_ Suite_,I asked him with a start,"is there a fugue, a march, and a nocturne?"
36728Is it finished?
36728May I hear the music?
36728So a debutant no longer recognizes a debutante?
36728Then you intend to perform the work?
36728This evening?
36728What are you doing?
36728What shall I accept?
36728What, you do n''t know? 36728 What?
36728What? 36728 Who is your librettist?"

36728After that who can deny that self- esteem survives after death?
36728Are not all contrasts of that kind?
36728But is not life always so?
36728But was there ever unalloyed bliss?
36728But would they come?
36728Did I need comforting?
36728Does not that_ toi_ indicate the first cry of the old lover on seeing his mistress again?
36728Does one ever know?...
36728Had my career as a composer really begun?
36728How could I have hoped for it?
36728How could it be otherwise?
36728How could they pretend that he did not like music when they inflicted so much of it on him, in that work at any rate?
36728How did it happen?
36728How was I to find it among the ninety churches in Venice?
36728How was I to hear what I had written?

36728The charming artiste smiled, but had she understood?

39384There is certainly no false expression in it, because there is_ none_ of any kind; but does not this very fact prove the desecration of the words?
39384They urged another young man to join them, and when he said that he did not know how to sing, his friend rejoined,"Qu''est- ce que ça fait?
39384This struck me as very remarkable, for in England they would have spoken exactly in the same way of Italy; but_ quo me rapis_?
39384Unluckily the man replied,"I am General Ertmann: what is your pleasure?"
39384What can be more grand or superb?
39384What did it all mean?
39384What is it that shines through the leaves, and glitters like gold?
39384What the deuce made you think of setting your G horns so high?
39384When I went at an early hour to take leave of Goethe, I found him seated beside a large portfolio, and he said,"So you are actually going away?
39384When do you mean to send me something new to cheer me?
39384Who can at such a moment think either of writing or music?
39384Who can wonder that I find it impossible to return to my misty Scotch mood?
39384Who can write or think with any degree of warmth?
39384Who knows, however, whether we may not come here together in future years, and then think of this day, as we now do of former ones?
39384Who would not have been confused by all this?
39384Why pursue the subject?
39384Why should I even attempt to portray it?
39384Why then make them sound like a mere formula?
39384_ Apropos_, shall I be lithographed full length?
39384_ I._ Are you sure they came from Ischl?
39384_ Per Bacco!_ if you had the inclination, you certainly have sufficient genius to compose, and if you have no desire to do so, why grumble so much?
39384and do you read what is really good with less interest?
39384and that, too, an_ émeute_ of tailors''apprentices?
39384can you not procure the words of some songs, and send them to me?
39384cried I; what name?--Don''t know.--Pereira?
43411How so? 43411 How so?"
43411What do you think of this idea?
43411Who do you think,he writes to Wolfgang( December 29,1777),"is appointed organist at the Holy Trinity?
43411You might certainly manage to live alone in Munich,he wrote( October 6, 1777),"but what good would this do you?
43411( 23) Father: What are you doing?
43411( 378) heard the other I asked,"Who is that?"
43411( 392) since you were here before?"
43411( 397)"But will she be able to learn it?"
43411( 412) father was justified in writing as follows( February 23, 1778) So you intend only to give lessons as a favour, do you?
43411After all, it is much easier to play fast than slow; notes can be dropped out of passages without being noticed; but is that desirable?
43411After the( violin??
43411After the( violin??
43411And what said the father?
43411And why was it, the father must have asked himself, that Wolfgang was so suddenly blind to his own interests, and forgetful of his duty to his family?
43411And you were thinking of leaving Mannheim on the 15th, and have been making expeditions to Kirchheim?
43411Are you afraid that I shall come to grief on the organ?"
43411But how shall we be treated in Salzburg?
43411But what kind of playing at sight is that?
43411But what more can I wish for you than I am always wishing?
43411But your father is still at Salzburg?"
43411Che sarà, giusti Dei, questo ch''io provo?
43411Do you, indeed, read my works and encourage your friends to do the same?
43411Does my last poem,"Der Christ,"meet with your approval?
43411Have you the one which I composed last year, Christus begraben?
43411He said directly:"What is your butter- fiddle about?"
43411He took snuff and said,"I should like it, but would it not do her harm to have two masters?"
43411He was pleased to remember all about it, and asked me:"How has the gentleman been all this time?"
43411How long shall you remain here?"
43411I did not give him time, and said,"Why should you read the letter now?
43411I only said,"What do you think, Herr Stein?
43411In the meantime, through the exertions of his friends, a public concert was given on October 22:-- What do you think came next after the symphony?
43411In what does the art of playing at sight consist?
43411Leo( 1694- 1756?
43411Leopold Mozart announces all this to Hagenauer, with the question:"What do you think of that for a Kapellmeister''s pay?"
43411Let me ask you whether Wolfgang has not forgotten to go to confession lately?
43411Lætari, iocari Fruique divinis honoribus stat, Dum hymen optimus Tædis et floribus Grata, beata Connubia iungit et gaudia dat?
43411May I add one word on the musical criticism contained in my work?
43411Mozart writes to his sister from Vienna( July 4, 1781):"Is it not about time for the shooting supper?
43411Nine days without a play, and on the tenth we get a De profundis-- What?
43411Now, have I not reason enough to remain here and await the issue?
43411On account of their brevity?
43411On account of their church style?
43411Once, seeing himself surrounded by a fashionable assemblage, he said before he began:"Is Herr Wagenseil here?
43411Ought I to leave now that so important a step is taken?
43411Rose-- who was three rooms off and busied with the linen-- had finished, she came in and said to me,"Is it your pleasure that we begin?"
43411Second question:"How did he behave to great people when they admired his talent and proficiency in music?"
43411So it is to be hidden away from the eyes of the world; for what could manifest it more openly than a public performance in a large and populous city?
43411The Empress asked him why?
43411The rapidity allows the right and left hand to be used indiscriminately: but should that be so?
43411Third question:"What was his favourite study?"
43411This is meant to be pathetic?
43411We have to produce two Oratoria every Lent, and where are we to find subjects enough?
43411Were you kept too close?"
43411What can not a man do with sense and a kind heart?
43411What is their connection with you, and what services will they demand in return?
43411When I heard him I asked,"Who is at the organ?"
43411Who are these philanthropists and lovers of music?
43411Who knows?
43411Why do you hesitate?
43411Why was this?
43411Why?
43411Why?"
43411Your first question is:"What were the favourite amusements of your late lamented brother in his childhood, apart from his passion for his music?"
43411[ 10034] Fourth question:"What particular qualities, maxims, rules of life, singularities, good or evil propensities had he?"
43411[ Footnote 10020:"Wherein consists good execution?"
43411[ Footnote 1008:"Have you a good subject for an oratorio?"
43411and should I not accept it, if it is really in earnest?"
43411and you mean to leave your old father in his present straits?
43411are you the famous boy of whom I have heard so much?"
43411have you left Salzburg altogether?"
43411said I,"did his Serene Highness mention me?"
43411said I,"no answer yet?"
43411said she,"is it really true?
43411writes Wolfgang, overjoyed;"is it not an act of friendship?
43411you are going to remain here?"

4386Among the varied feelings with which so many noble hearts throbbed high, were there indeed many which never incurred this fearful malediction?
4386And may not the artist revenge the man?

4386Did Chopin suffer from this inevitable dissimilarity between the prophetic whispers of the heart, and the thronging doubts of the questioning mind?
4386Did he dread, that after having touched him with his icy hand, he would still suffer him to linger upon earth?
4386Did he feel that life would be almost unendurable with its fondest ties broken, its closest links dissevered?
4386Did he not regain strength only because he now wished to live?
4386Does not Petrarch owe his fame to his Sonnets?
4386Even if he had ceased to speak of it, would he not always have thought of it?
4386Even in the midst of joy, may he not be permitted to be gloomy and oppressed?
4386Few understood him:--did those few indeed understand him aright?
4386Has not the force of genius its own exclusive and legitimate exactions, and does not the force of woman consist in the abdication of all exactions?
4386How did Weber divine the Poland of other days?
4386If the acts of the poet have sometimes denied the spirit of his song, have not his songs still more powerfully denied his acts?
4386In literature, is Beranger less a great poet, because he has condensed his thoughts within the narrow limits of his songs?
4386In others he relinquished this broad style: Shall we say always with a more decided success?
4386In very truth are not the Sclavic women utterly incomparable?
4386Is it not the idea which is developed through it, the emotion with which it vibrates, which expands, elevates and ennobles it?
4386Of what use are excursions into realms in which no real fruit can ever be gathered?
4386Of what value the vain words, which only nourish sterile feelings?
4386The nurse of his sick- room-- was she not also a great artist?
4386This high poetic disdain,--how did it comport itself when struggling with material interests?
4386Those who exalted integrity,--were they always equitable?
4386Those who felt such holy indignation,--were they indeed always just?
4386Those who so admired fortitude,--have they never compromised with their own weakness?
4386Those who sung of honor,--did they never stoop?
4386Was he considering what pallet, what brushes, what canvas he must use, to introduce them into visible life through his art?
4386Was it not rather because his life was full of bliss that he found strength to live?
4386Was it the effect of the balmy climate alone which recalled him to health?
4386What are the dying bouquets of an hour to those whose brows claim the laurel of immortality?
4386What leisure has ardent youth to interpret their gravity, to resolve their chill problems?
4386Which among them has ever danced through a Mazourka, whose cheeks burned not more from the excitement of emotion than from mere physical fatigue?
4386Who can measure the amount of suffering arising from such contrasts?
4386Who can say where the dominion of mind over matter ceases?
4386Who can tell how far the influence of the will extends over the body?
4386Who could bear the sepulchral ghastly array?
4386Who could have ventured-- to oppose his wish?
4386Who shall restrict the rights of a poet over the various phases of his subject?
4386Who would willingly call them from their sheeted sleep?
4386Will not the most glorious among the beloved constellation of the Pleiades there disappear?
4386Would the graceful elegancies of life, the high culture of the arts, indeed be safe in the rude and devastating hands of the new barbarians?

19748''Now, Joseph, what do you propose to do?''
19748''Now, tell me, who do you think I ought to appoint to the post?''

19748And if we admit that Handel excelled in operatic work, what shall we say of the oratorios which formed the later creations of his genius?
19748And what of the parents whom he had left behind in the little village?
19748And why was Archbishop Sigismund so desirous of testing the boy''s powers of composition?
19748At length, when Handel ceased to play, the Duke turned to those about him with the inquiry:''Who is that child?
19748Beckoning to Haydn, he inquired,''Whose music is that which you were playing just now?''
19748But he at once checked himself in his walk, and, turning to Hans, said abruptly:''Have you taken the child his food?''
19748But if the Octet serves to mark a distinct stage in the development of Mendelssohn''s genius, what are we to say of the work which followed it?
19748But to whom can I now say it?
19748Could it possibly be true, he asked himself, that throughout the length and breadth of Germany so stupendous a work as this remained unheard, unknown?
19748Dismayed by this reflection, he took his hands from the keyboard and, turning to Mozart, said,''Will you give me a theme on which to extemporise?''
19748Dismayed by this unlooked- for resolution, the Emperor exclaimed:''What, Mozart, do you mean to forsake me?''
19748Do n''t I deserve a place above ground?''
19748Does anybody know his name?''
19748He therefore seized Benedict by the arm, exclaiming,''You will come to my father''s house with me, will you not?''

19748What could be more touchingly beautiful than the air,''He was despised and rejected of men''?
19748What was the secret of this wonderful success?

19748Who could I give it to with my warmest love so well as to you, true, good, noble Stephen?
19748Who is the father?
19748Who, indeed, could for long withstand so imperious a will, backed by such unquenchable genius?
19748Why should his life be made so much harder than that of other children?
19748Will he laugh at it, and tell the father that he is mistaken in believing that his son can write good music?
19748Would he turn out an even harder task- master than his own father had been?
19748Would nobody hold out a helping hand?
19748Would this week of toil be thrown away, and the sheets be cast into the fire?''

44767In a letter of March 30, 1853, he says to Liszt:"What can help me?
44767Indeed I believe I have done my best to state both things distinctly: but who has yet heeded?
44767Is my finished work''Lohengrin''worth nothing?

44767The giant recognises Odin by this question, and says,"Who can tell what thou didst whisper of old in the ear of thy son?
44767The words of Wolfram''s poem here are nearly the same as those of Chrétien, which are these:"Knowest thou not the day, sweet youth?
44767What is this?
44767What though it outraged the rules of the masters and even puzzled him?
44767When he says,"Was dort in keuscher Nacht dunkel verschlossen wacht?"
44767When shall it be night for these two?
44767When will the blazing of the torch cease to keep him sundered from Isolde?
44767Whence came the lovely character, one of the noblest of all Wagner''s heroines, Elizabeth, the Landgrave''s niece?
44767Whence did they procure them?
44767Where, then, was Wagner to find eternal ideas suitable for dramatic treatment except in their personifications in mythology?
44767Who was he, this unknown young composer, to trouble the darlings of the public?
44767Who, then, is this Venus, and what is she doing in the subterranean world of the 12th century?
44767Why had Wagner selected Bayreuth as the scene of the crowning labour of his career?
44767Why has she broken Wotan''s command against visiting Brünnhilde?

44767Wotan at once falls into the trap, and says:"What pratest thou there?

34381''Now, how gan you demand of me dat zilly question, you who are a musician and a man of science, Togder Peepbush? 34381 ''Sire,''what do you mean?"
34381''So, sir, I presume you are come to witness the trial of skill at the old round church? 34381 ''Well, and how do you find yourself, my dear sir?''
34381''What, downstairs?'' 34381 ''Where is he?''
34381''Whom have you got there, then?'' 34381 And the Germans,"he goes on to say,"what palm is due to them?
34381Did they not?
34381Do n''t you see Handel''s wig?
34381Do you not think I resemble my sister, Marie Antoinette?
34381Do you think the Greeks, whose manners we are endeavouring to depict, knew what a chaconne was?
34381How much can you lose by his opera,the prince replied,"supposing it to be a perfect fiasco?"
34381How, sire?
34381I asked him if he had met Byron in Venice? 34381 The old woman was the first to speak:''Any coaches or mourners coming?''
34381We both desired to correspond, but through whom? 34381 Well, what do you want?"
34381Well?
34381What do you think of the charming Billington''s picture?
34381What do you wish?
34381What is that?
34381What is the meaning of all this?
34381What wretch has dared to tamper with the great Beethoven?
34381What''s the use? 34381 What, Baptiste,"the former said,"have you burned your opera?
34381Where on earth could they be?
34381Where would they not go,answered Cherubini,"led by such a hero as you?"
34381Where''s your music?
34381Who are you?
34381Who has taken upon him to revise Gluck?
34381Whose music is it?
34381Why not?
34381You have written a mass?
34381''Papa,''he cried,''wilt thou be friends?''
34381''Who holds up hands?''
34381A Milanese gentleman, whose father was very ill, met his friend in the street--"Where are you going?"
34381After greeting Beethoven, I said,''Will you permit me to introduce my brother to you?''
34381After my son''s death, what have you not done to honour my son''s name and render it dear to posterity?
34381Again, to you nod remember dat ubstardt buppy Senesino, and the goxgomb Farinelli?
34381Again:"What is all this compared to the grandest of all Masters of Harmony-- above, above?"
34381Alluding to a performance of''Semiramide,''he said, with a malicious smile,''I suppose you saw the beautiful decorations in it?''
34381And for vot?
34381And old Cherubini?
34381Are not the pleasures of a transient, capricious passion widely different from the happiness produced by rational and true love?
34381Are we at a hunting- party?
34381Are you not ashamed of such undeserved triumph?"
34381Are you surprised that he should have forgotten it too?
34381Arne?''
34381Barth glanced through the composition, then sang it, and soon grew into such enthusiasm as to draw from Beethoven the expression,"No?
34381But what of the meanwhile?
34381But who is that gentlemanly man leaning over the chamber- organ?
34381Can we wonder that his work was a failure?
34381Do n''t you know what love is?"
34381Do n''t you remember the libretto of''Il Proscritto,''which you procured for me, and for which I have never composed the music?
34381Do you not every day become more convinced of the truth of the little lectures I used to inflict on you?
34381Handel?''
34381Have I not been kissed by the queen?"
34381Hey, mine friendt?
34381His father refused, saying,"How can you?
34381Mendelssohn, many years afterwards, writing to Moscheles in Paris, asked,"Has Onslow written anything new?
34381Next, again, mine somedimes nodtable rival Bononcini, and old Borbora?
34381Oh first created Beam, and thou, great Word,''Let there be light,''and light was over all, Why am I thus bereaved thy prime decree?
34381One of the singers, every time he came to the passage,"Ce mortel qu''on remarque Tient- il Plus que nous de la Parque Le fil?"
34381One question only was thought of,"Is he a Gluckist or Piccinist?"
34381Pompadour refused to kiss him, saying,"Who is she, that she will not kiss me?
34381Some of the above are real masterpieces; but, with the exception of''The waves of the sea rage horribly,''and''Who is God but the Lord?''
34381The characteristic reply was a Parthian arrow:"Vat te tevil I trow my money away for dat vich the blockhead vish?
34381The clarionets were too much for him, but on seeing third and fourth horn- parts, he exclaimed,"What does the man want?
34381The composer cried out, in a rage,"Do n''t you see he is lying?
34381The conversation turning upon German music, I asked him''which was his favourite among the great masters?''
34381The following retort shows the nobility of genius--"I, sir?
34381The question was no longer,"Is he a Jansenist, a Molinist, an Encyclopædist, a philosopher, a free- thinker?"
34381Then changing his tone,"Do n''t you know your voice is a gold- mine that has not been fully explored?
34381Then, laughing:''Berhaps, Mister Golley Cibbers, you may like to pote this to the vote?
34381Trying in vain to reach a book on the table, he said,"Can I do nothing now in time?"
34381Vat gan it concern you whether I have one votdermans or two votdermans-- whether I bull out mine burce for to pay von shilling or two?
34381Vell, mein friendts, andt how vags the vorldt wid you, mein tdears?
34381Vogl, a fortnight afterwards, sang it in the lower key to his friend, who remarked:"Really, that_ Lied_ is not bad; who composed it?"
34381What can I do to please you?"
34381What would you call the man who would seek to assure you that you were superior to Raphael?"
34381What''s your name?"
34381Who that has once heard can forget the thrilling power of"La Marseillaise"in Schumann''s setting of Heinrich Heine''s poem of"The Two Grenadiers?"
34381Who would grudge the moisture of his eyes if he could render it immortal in the strains of Schubert''s''Lob der Thräne?''"
34381Who would not battle with the iciest blast of the north if out of storm and snow he could bring back to his chamber the germs of the''Winterreise?''
34381Why will you not come to Königsberg at the festival?
34381Why, in other words, are you not in Berlin?
34381Will Italy One and Free continue to produce great and original musicians?
34381With abrupt, passionate intensity of tone Schubert answered,"What''s the use of that?
34381Would the solitary man at the opposite table assist us?
34381[ E]"Do you know that the Chevalier( Gluck''s title) has an Armida and Orlando in his portfolio?"
34381and Beethoven immediately rushed off, seized hold of my brother, saying,''Am I such a savage that you are afraid to come near me?''
34381do n''t I know better as yourself vaat it pest for you to sing?
34381do you think I have not dined?"
34381he cried,"study anatomy; dissect; take part in horrible operations?
34381if the trees at moonlight sang always so harmoniously?"
34381is Handel dead?"
34381when shall I feel it again in the temple of Nature and man?
34381you do n''t mean to say that little blackamoor"( alluding to Haydn''s brown complexion and small stature)"composed that symphony?"
46982And Siglinda, will she come also?
46982And who obtained it?
46982Are we not enough already?
46982Art thou timid in the presence of women?
46982Can I believe myself delivered, since once again I hear the rustling of this forest, and salute thee again, thou good old man?
46982Can it be an angel sent by God?
46982Dost thou not see it yet? 46982 Dost thou repel me?"
46982From whence came this mysterious phial?
46982Greeting, my guest,says Gurnemanz:"Dost thou not know what day this is?
46982Intoxication of the soul, rapture without measure, impetuous and overheated, blood, how shall I support you chained to this couch? 46982 Is it thou who hast killed the swan?"
46982It is so difficult then?
46982It was my kiss which rendered thy eyes clear? 46982 Knowing by compassion, was it not thus?"
46982Must I again thank thee, indefatigable and unknown maid? 46982 My son, Amfortas,"he says,"doest thou officiate?
46982Perhaps you have made a good pair of buskins?
46982So you wish to become master?
46982Tell me, to whom should the path which thou seekest lead?
46982Well, does the shoe fit at last?
46982Were those who menaced me wicked? 46982 What dost thou ask, cursed woman?"
46982What fragrant perfume you exhale,says Parsifal, with tranquil gayety;"are you flowers?"
46982What has struck down him whom even God protected?
46982What is it?
46982What is that?
46982What is the matter with you?
46982What, thou knowest me yet? 46982 What,"they reply,"thou knowest naught of the marvellous gold?
46982Who art thou,he says,"who appearest to me so beautiful and so grave?"
46982Who is it?
46982Who prevented him from beholding the Grail and its blessings?
46982Who wounded it?
46982Whom does this casket that you bear in sorrow enclose?
46982Why dost thou chide?
46982A cry is immediately heard:"In what school have you studied?
46982And approaching two knights who descend from the castle he cries:"Greetings to you: how does Amfortas find himself to- day?
46982Are the enchantments of music capable of working this miracle?
46982Behold the snowy plumage stained with blood, the drooping wings, the dying glance,--Dost thou recognize thy fault?"
46982But Isolde?
46982But Wagner had not ceased to think of it, and who knows if at this moment Paris was not the aim of his dreams?
46982But how should I be received?
46982But the rules, what has he done with them?
46982Can repose exist for such a mind, always pushing irresistibly forward and higher?
46982Does a theatre exist in Paris, this world''s capital, where the great works, lyrical and dramatic, of the entire world may be represented?
46982Does he laugh now, and does he jeer at me by thy month, thou bride of the devil?
46982Has the new generation ever seen the representations of this master''s greatest works?
46982How earnest thou here, and from what place?"
46982How is that?"
46982I already feel the shadow of death upon me, and must I return once again to life?
46982I hoped and waited for an answer with extreme anxiety: would it come?
46982I remember, among others, this phrase:"Since the public at the opera do not like my music why inflict it upon them?"
46982Is it not in her arms that the King of the Grail forgot his holy duties?
46982Is it not on her account that he now suffers and writhes in the cruel flame of guilty desire?
46982Is she not his twin sister, formerly carried off from the devastated fireside?
46982Is there any sort of indignity or outrage which has been spared him in his own country?
46982May it not be his mother''s soul?
46982Must I behold the Grail yet again to- day and live?
46982Must I die, no longer sustained by my Saviour?"
46982Of what good is this balm?
46982Oh, eternal sleep, thou only blessing, how attain thee?"
46982Tell us thou hast known Klingsor?
46982They all fear the valiant youth"--"Who fears me, say?"
46982They question him:"From whence dost thou come?
46982Too audacious Amfortas, who could''st have restrained thyself when armed with this lance, thou resolvedst to attack the magician?
46982Was this letter really from him?
46982Well, where do you imagine I am now?"
46982Well, where is Victor Hugo''s theatre?
46982What had this faithful swan done to thee?
46982What is it now to thee?
46982What is the wound and its agony of pain compared with the infernal suffering of being damned here to officiate?
46982What is thy name?
46982Where may he find strength with which to defend himself?
46982Which of you would force me to live since you can give me nothing but death?
46982Who has sent thee?"
46982Who is good?"
46982Who troubles himself about Calderon, Schiller, Goethe, Shakspeare?
46982Who will come to his aid in this bitter distress?
46982Who will do combat with me?"
46982and the tabulature,--the rules laid down in the tables?
46982can no one measure the torment which the sight that transports you awakens in me?
46982cried Elsa,"thou who defendest me in my distress, how could I do other than faithfully keep to the law thou imposest upon me?"
46982dost thou remember him, whom grief and distress have bent so low?
46982she cries with a harsh laugh,"would''st thou be chaste?"
46982what have I ever remembered?
46982who are you masters?"
46982who is the criminal?"
46982who says that?"

37996As for my affection, the sister has so large a share of it that not much is left for the brother-- will he be content with this?
37996But may not the light- heartedness which distinguishes this overture have been intentional on the part of Beethoven?
37996Could it be more difficult to prepare a dinner than to compose a C minor symphony?
37996Dare we now really claim his creations, which breathe the highest humanity, as specially_ German_?
37996Did the perplexity arise simply from his unbusiness- like habits?
37996Do we not feel ourselves blown upon by the fresh mountain air?
37996Do we not sometimes hear it surging like a wave of the mighty stream through the Beethoven harmonies?
37996Eleven years old, thought I, how would the character of author become me?
37996First, then, how is it that Beethoven''s genius as a composer was so late, comparatively speaking, in developing?
37996Has there ever existed a poet who transported our souls into his ideal kingdom with more irresistible force than our Beethoven?
37996Have you still a little love for me?
37996How comes it, then, that with all these qualifications Beethoven would not afterwards allow that he had profited by his instructions?
37996How could it be otherwise?
37996If his work were worthy of a decoration, why not have given it in addition to the paltry sum asked for it?
37996In a very short time, however, the latter became so wealthy( how?)

37996Is not some such scene the background to the Adagio in the"Sonata quasi Fantasia,"dedicated to the Countess Giulietta?

37996What were Beethoven''s intentions with regard to this visit?
37996What would there be, indeed, to make me happier?
37996What, then, was the cause of it?
37996Who can exaggerate the immense benefit that a loving, tender wife would have been to Beethoven-- a wife like Mozart''s Constance?
37996Who can tell?
37996Who could have felt this more keenly than Beethoven?
37996Why should that particular trio be kept back?
37996Would a youth spent in the midst of a great song- world have led our master along other paths?

5995It might be easier to answer the question if it were put in the negative: Why not"Iris"?
5995Mr. White wrote in 1881; would he have been able to be so complimentary to the opera audiences of 1908?
5995Or was the marriage repugnant to her, and was she sacrificed to her father''s selfishness?
5995The reason?
5995Then, still half turned, he remarked without a touch of feeling in the tone of his voice:"Encouraging, is n''t it?
5995There was too much reiteration, and I shall never discipline my taste to like common colloquial expressions of life:"How do you do, madame?"
5995Thereupon he indited an epistle to Mr. Dana in these wingèd words: Friend Dana: What would it cost to burn the Opera House?
5995Was Italian opera dead?
5995Was ever a more perfect musical coquette dreamed of than Philine?
5995Was it a French opera?
5995Was it an Italian opera?
5995Were they not excellent?
5995What but fashion could tempt reasonable creatures to sit and applaud-- what was really perpetrated-- Deshayes dancing"The Death of Nelson"?
5995What chances of a happy issue?
5995What experience?

5995What lyric possibilities do not lie in the Harper?

5995What''s the matter in Cincinnati?"
5995Which of them might with most propriety be applied to this work?
5995Who can know the ways of a maid fourscore years after?
5995Who would listen now to Rossini''s"Otello"?
5995Why did n''t I think of doing that?"
5995Why did you ask this of me?
5995Why do you work so?
5995Why"Iris"?
5995Why?"
5995Will this splendid and refined amusement be supported in New York?
5995With what means?
5995Would she, under the circumstances, be the guest of a number of gentlemen, representative of the legal, artistic, and literary professions?
5995Would you know why they wished it?
5995and where?
5995and"Please, Miss Cary, wo n''t you let me kiss you?"

16467Do you know?
16467I have been to-- guess whom?... 16467 Legouvé said to Berlioz,''Who told you this abominable thing?
16467Man''s character,did I say?
16467My name? 16467 Now does n''t that sound well?"
16467Patriotism? 16467 Where?
16467Would you believe it?
16467[ 19] But of what use was this pity? 16467 [ 33]"Ah, my poor Louis,"he wrote to him,"what should I do without you?"
16467''How could I?''
16467***** Well, what did it matter?
16467All is nothing.... To love or hate, enjoy or suffer, admire or sneer, live or die-- what does it matter?
16467And Berlioz did nothing--"How could I?
16467And an opera, now?...
16467And what can be said of that evening?
16467And yet how can we tell?
16467Are we not in France?
16467Are we really witnessing the return of its spring?
16467Berlioz at home?''
16467But is his reason always in agreement with his heart?
16467But what did it matter?
16467But what government, pope, emperor, or president could oblige an artist to think and write against his will?
16467But what of that?
16467But what shall be said of those who die little by little, who outlive themselves, and watch the slow decay of their souls?
16467But why should it be truthful to depict life only as a bad thing?
16467Can an artist write anything that he does not clearly conceive?
16467Can one blame him for that?]
16467Can one find elsewhere a more dazzling musical debut?
16467Can this strange combination exist at all?
16467Can we not tear ourselves away from that romantic suffering in music which was begun by Beethoven?
16467Do not the two words contradict each other?
16467Do people think he composes at random as his genius whispers to him?
16467Do they not lean on the example of the past?
16467Do they think that gesture associates itself very happily with music?
16467Do we find his faith, as expressed through his music always full of peace and calm?
16467Do you know the amusing account Tolstoy gave of a performance of_ Siegfried_?
16467Do you know the programme?
16467Do you remember Goethe''s ballad of_ Der Zauberlehrling_(_ L''Apprenti Sorcier_) which Dukas so cleverly made into music?
16467Does it mean that Berlioz could not love as well as Wagner?
16467Does the wonderful spread of musical culture in Germany during the last century correspond with its artistic creation?
16467For what reason?
16467Have we now come to the end of our difficulties?
16467He fell in love with an English actress who played Juliet( Was it she or Juliet whom he loved?).
16467His music is practically unknown in France, though he wrote two well- known operas,_ Fauler Hans_ and_ Wem die Krone_?
16467How can it be otherwise, when the composers represented are mere names to them?
16467How can that opinion help forward the growth of art?
16467How did Berlioz come to have this genius for orchestration almost from the very first?
16467How do such works come to be neglected by our Republic?
16467How is it they have not a place in our public life?
16467How should I?
16467How should they appreciate the boldest musical achievement of the nineteenth century?
16467I ask, What is an indefinite art?
16467I can understand people arguing about him in a country that produced Beethoven and Bach; but with us in France, who can we set up against him?
16467If that good Oulibicheff pretends to see the burning of Moscow in a discord in the first_ Heroic_, what would he find here?
16467If you have them, will you lend them to me?"]
16467Is it the incoming of some great tide of melody, which will wash away the gloom and doubt of our life to- day?
16467Is it the monk Denys in his cell at Mount Athos?
16467Is not Siegfried the heroic incarnation of a free and healthy man, sprung directly from Nature?
16467Is that conviction justified?
16467Is that voice of instinct cursed or blessed?
16467Is the Wagnerian drama perfectly adapted to German genius?
16467Is this the family feeling of Germany to- day?
16467It has torn my heart to bury him alive, and I had a hard and painful fight with myself before I could do it.... Shall I ever go back to him?
16467Look about you, and tell me if from this point of view there is any career finer than that of an artist who is conscious of his mission?
16467On this subject he says:"Where shall we find the quickening life that will give us fresh forms and formulas?
16467Or Cennini, who spread the pious teaching of the Giotteschi?
16467Politics?"
16467The Army?
16467The Law?
16467The University?
16467They hissed its performance?
16467To live with her?
16467To what work or to what worker, worthy of interest, or seeming to be so, has he ever refused his advice and help?
16467Was spricht die tiefe Mitternacht_?
16467What could he have heard beyond the operas of Gluck and Spontini while he was at the Conservatoire?
16467What did his compeers think of him-- at least, those who called themselves such?
16467What does this heroism aspire to?
16467What drama is more sober or more disdainful of exterior effect than_ Tristan_?
16467What is a vague art?
16467What is all this fury leading to?
16467What is he waiting for?
16467What is the good of these great aims if misery is all that lies at the end of it?...
16467What man can, during a whole lifetime, gaze into the depths of this world with a calm reason and a cheerful heart?
16467What might not Berlioz have done if the means had been given him, or if his works had found a place in the fêtes of the Revolution?
16467What more could he want?
16467What says dark midnight?
16467What secret is being hidden from us?
16467What unity is there in the adventures of Don Quixote or Till Eulenspiegel?
16467What was she really?
16467What was the bitterness of failure compared with the great anguish of death?
16467What was the meaning of it?
16467What was to be done?
16467What were his dreams?
16467What would Wagner have done on a like occasion?
16467When has he time to be alone to listen to the music that sings within him?
16467Where were you when I had need of you?
16467Which of the two parents is he like?
16467Which of us does not feel a little glow of pride at the thought of what has been done in the last thirty years?
16467Who does not feel the infectious warmth and beauty of these spirited words?
16467Who does not know his passion for Henrietta Smithson?
16467Who has not met these censors of music?
16467Who has understood the Southern nature, beautiful form, and harmonious movement like Berlioz?
16467Who is this Stranger?
16467Who speaks like this?
16467Who, since Gluck, has recognised so well the secret of classical beauty?
16467Why are they not part of our great ceremonies?
16467Why are we not dead?
16467Why be astonished at it?
16467Why did n''t you turn her out of the house?''
16467Why not?
16467Why should the general public appreciate a Bach fugue, an intricate symphony or a piece of chamber- music?
16467Will that revolution still be accomplished?
16467[ 106] After all, why be astonished that his mighty mission was too much for him?
16467[ 158] But in doing this is not his eclecticism trying to reconcile arts that are naturally disunited?
16467[ 60] Who does not see what a poor figure the young Wagner cut at that time, working away in laborious and self- satisfied mediocrity?
16467[ Footnote 18:"Is n''t it really devilish,"he said to Legouvé,"tragic and silly at the same time?

35812But surely you know somebody who could write you one?

35812But-- when can I see you without disturbing you?

35812And what are you doing with yourself?"
35812And what compensation for that which is bestowed on them can be expected from such a class?
35812And what has this century done, I will not say for the pleasure, but for the happiness of the human race?
35812And what is a school, after all, but a gymnasium?
35812And what will happen now?
35812And will no director produce that charming opera,"Beatrix et Bénédict?"
35812Are you afraid there will not be room enough for you?
35812Astronomy?
35812At each change he would ask,"What key am I playing in?"
35812But how about genius?
35812But how about those letters of introduction, frequently requesting some service on your part which you can not well refuse?
35812But the musician?
35812But these fears( some of them were hopes perhaps?)
35812But what could be more hideous than to hear all the bells in the town strike at once?
35812But what does this prove?
35812But what is a musician to do at Rome?

35812Do I mean that it is the best thing I have written?
35812Do they really believe he is given over utterly to_ technique_, as though mechanical proficiency constituted his whole art?

35812He caught sight of the sketch- book under my arm, and with that bright and piercing glance of his, he said--"What''s that under your arm?"
35812He opened his eyes very wide, and looking hard at me, he asked--"Where the devil did you hear that?"
35812How can the world judge anything?
35812How many times had she to set and clean the palettes with her own hands?
35812How many times since then have I been told:"Saint- Saëns?

35812I looked up and answered,"You surely do n''t think I''m doing it for pleasure, do you?"
35812Is he not taught to read, and write, and ride, and walk, and use weapons, and play on various instruments?
35812Is it not a position in itself to be able to call oneself Mozart or Rossini?"
35812Is it the shadow cast by the dark deeds of former days, to which the city seems predestined by its very situation?
35812Is not man primarily an_ educated_ being?
35812Is not the balance of happiness and charm on the side of cultivation and abundant growth?
35812Is there any poverty in all the world so pitiful as this?
35812Is there no difference betwixt the man and the instrument he uses?
35812Is there no middle course?

35812Well, we all have our tastes; why should not Monsieur Ingres have his?
35812Were not Raphael, Mozart, Beethoven, all men of genius?
35812What do you think of Monsieur Ingres''s picture?
35812What for?
35812What have you done with Courtépée?
35812What is his function with regard to this conception of Nature, and, as I may almost say, this investment of her capital?
35812What is progress, forsooth, but the onward march of intelligence, in the light of love?
35812What is the use?
35812What music is he to listen to?
35812What of the Tiber, with its stern waters, eloquent of the crimes they have engulphed, and the calm of that Roman Campagna through which they roll?
35812What of the silence, which teaches a man to listen to what is passing within his own soul?

35812dear friend, will no one rise up and lead our brave- hearted Frenchmen on some steady line of conduct?
35812he said,"is that you?
35812were you the small boy who solfa- ed so well?"
35812what harmonies?
35812what''s the matter, my boy?"
35812you look at it in that way, do you?
7834Cornwall? 7834 Did you not slay my uncle?"
7834No, no,she replies,"I dare not-- yet how I should like to!--but what would Masetto say?"
7834What land?
7834What would King Marke say were I to slay_ his best servant_?
7834Why do you hate me?
7834Are we to suppose that after all that happened on board the ship she consented to become the wife of King Marke?
7834But I can not hope to make my own position clear without descending to the foundations of all art, of all life, without asking: what is drama?
7834Can we apply this distinction to music?
7834Can we wonder that the world''s head was turned by such a gigantic personality?
7834Does it not tell us more than all the outpourings of Oulibichef?
7834Does she love Tristan before they drink the potion?
7834Does, for example,"one revolution of the sun"mean twelve hours or twenty- four?
7834Dost thou ask of Tristan, beloved lady?
7834Has Isolde started on the voyage to be the bride of King Marke with her own consent?
7834He continues: How has this foretaste( of eternal night) departed from me?
7834He replies:"Our love?
7834Him there who shirks my gaze, and looks on the ground in shame and fear?
7834His moral sense tells him that this ought not to be; there must be some delusion; is it in nature or is it in his own understanding?
7834How can death ever destroy that?
7834How could Isolde be mine in the bright light of day?
7834How else could we endure to contemplate the failure and destruction of a Lear, a Wallenstein, a Deianira, an Antigone?
7834How is such a miracle possible?
7834How many have inherited his spirit?
7834How then can it be possible for music to be a vehicle of thought?
7834In all the vast mass how much is there which was worth the writing, or can be read with any profit by reasonable people?
7834Is that what is troubling you?
7834Is this life to count for nothing?
7834Isolde, scarcely yet realizing that this is indeed the only possible ending, asks( 139''4):"Must then daylight and death together end our love?"
7834Now he calls her to his own, to show her his possession and heritage; how should she refuse?
7834Now_ he_ turns to her smiling and asks:"_ Soll ich lauschen_?"
7834Or that Tristan''s reasons for carrying off Isolde are clear to him from Marke''s account?
7834Or the_ Upanishads_?
7834Or this, in speaking of the formation of the opera and the demand for better libretti after the period of Spontini?
7834Popule meus, quid feci tibi?
7834Shall I call thee a yearning memory that has driven me once more to the light of day?
7834Shall I request him to wait upon you?
7834She has now attained full insight, and when he finally and seriously puts the question to her:"Shall I return once more to the day?"
7834She recalls Isolde''s strange and cold behaviour on parting from her parents in Ireland, and on the voyage; why is she thus?
7834She turns to Brangäne, and with a look of the utmost scorn, indicating Tristan, she asks: What thinkst thou of the slave?
7834Sick and weary in my power, why did I not then smite thee?
7834The wound?
7834Tristan has taken her lover from her, and does he now dare to mock her?
7834Tristan, shall I have atonement?
7834Under which heading are we to class, for example, Plato''s_ Republic_?
7834Was she not thine who chose thee?
7834Was this a fault in Wagner?
7834Were mighty death standing before me threatening body and life-- that life which so gladly I resign to my love-- how could its stroke reach our love?
7834What can it have to do with"temperance, courage, liberality"?
7834What did the wicked day lie to thee that thou shouldst betray thy beloved who was destined for thee?
7834What didst thou vow, oh woman?
7834What else but the art- collections and musical performances?
7834What hast thou to answer?
7834What sane- minded person can possibly take an interest in a succession of childish tricks played by two lovesick boobies upon a half- witted old man?
7834What would King Marke say if I were to slay his best servant who has preserved for him crown and realm?
7834What, for example, could be more admirable than this description of Mozart?
7834When Morold lived, who would have dared to offer us such an insult?...
7834Where are we?
7834Whither, oh mother, hast thou bestowed the might over the sea and the storm?
7834Who has never had the memory of his home or of some place familiar to his childhood recalled by the scent of a flower or a plant?
7834Who has not met with such?
7834Who shall say?
7834Why could he not have lowered the curtain on the lovers united with Marke''s full approval?
7834Why did not the poet take the opportunity offered and spare us the harrowing scenes at the end?
7834Why did the very name of Italian opera become a by- word for all that is frivolous and inartistic in dramatic art?
7834Why may we not accept it as it is evidently intended?
7834Why, for example, should a given melody in thirds on two bassoons denote a ring?
7834Why, then, did it not succeed?
7834and why should it bear a thematic kinship to another melody denoting Walhall?
7834aut in quo contristavi te?
7834how seems she to thee as a bride?
7834or the book of_ Job_?
7834the wonder of all lands, the much- belauded man, the hero without rival, the guard and ban of glory?
7834what are its aims, and how does it express them?
7834what is human life which it reflects?
7834where?
7834who has not felt their power?
43412Ah, vous dirais- je maman?
43412And what did the devoted girl do?
43412And why? 43412 Comment, le dernier?

43412Am I to throw away a thousand gulden because of a malicious prince who does what he likes with me for a miserable four hundred florins?
43412And did he alter his conduct?
43412And is not Gluck also an old man?
43412And what was the consequence?
43412And yet he wrote from Vienna to his father( May 16, 1781):"I was a fool about Lange''s wife, that is certain; but who is not when he is in love?
43412At last the Duchesse de Chabot came in, and politely begged me to make allowances for the clavier, since she had none in good order; would I try it?
43412At last, when my blood was boiling, I could hold out no longer, and said:"Then your Serene Highness is not satisfied with me?"
43412Bad enough, you will say, but do I write often, even to my father?
43412But now it is time I close, is it not?
43412But who, you will ask, is the object of my love?
43412But, after all, what harm can he do you?
43412Can you believe that the opposition was even stronger than on the first evening?
43412Could you have supposed all this?
43412Do you know what I should like?
43412Do you not daily grow more convinced of the truth of my little lecture?
43412Even Gluck-- did Germany make him the great man he is?
43412For what is the object of these passages after all?
43412Has Herr von Thorwarth waited on your ladyship already?
43412Having often heard me play fugues out of my head, she asked me if I had never written any down?
43412He was asked by a Frenchman, at Munich or some other place:"Monsieur, vous avez été ä Paris?"
43412How can it be otherwise?
43412How can it be otherwise?
43412How can you utter such a contradiction?
43412How could Mozart resist such a petition?
43412How could they have been contracted but by dissipation, irregular living, and extravagance?
43412How does he treat me?
43412How far, after all, was Salieri capable of influencing the music of his day?
43412I believe there is something behind, for I have my enemies here, as where have I not had them?
43412I could do nothing but ask Le Gros,"_ A propos_, have you given the Sinfonie Concertante to be copied?"
43412I need not tell you that the Germans have excelled other nations in almost every art-- but where did the artists make their fortunes or their fame?
43412I rubbed my eyes and said:''Where the deuce did you get that idea?''
43412I thought to myself,"Where are you to go to?
43412I was a fool about Madame Lange, that is true; but who is not when he is in love?
43412I was not formerly, when her father was poor, and why should I be so now when she may make your fortune instead of you hers?
43412In Mozart''s autograph score the flute part is left blank: was the player to improvise?]
43412In Prater?
43412In unpleased surprise Joseph asked:"What, do you mean to forsake me, Mozart?"
43412Is it necessary that we should both go to him after dinner to- day?
43412Is it not the case that all possible measures were taken to drive my son out of Salzburg?"
43412Is it so?"
43412Is it true that I have never answered you?
43412Is it your d----d religion?"
43412Is not the pleasure of a fickle and capricious love a thousand times removed from the blessedness accompanying a sincere and rational affection?
43412Litt., XI.,?
43412Not finding it she called to her husband:"Liebes Mandl, wo ists Bandl?"
43412Of course I could not go, and who do you think was there?
43412Shall I announce myself as a scoundrel, and the Archbishop as a worthy prince?
43412Shall I embitter my life at its very opening?
43412Tell me now, dear father, should I not have had to say this sooner or later?
43412The Archbishop acknowledges to being in the wrong now; but had he not opportunities enough for acknowledging it before?
43412Then suddenly springing up, as his manner was, he cried:"Now, what do you think of that?

43412What prevents you?
43412What world?
43412What would be the end of it?
43412When I went in he was standing in the first room by the stove, and he came straight up to me and asked if I had anything to do to- day?
43412When did Gluck, when did Piccinni, when did all these people come forward?
43412Whether it will please generally I do not know; and, truth to say, I care very little; for whom have I to please?
43412Who did not know, who did not respect, who did not love our worthy brother, Mozart?
43412Who has not been charmed again and again by the last melody, which, like a shining meteor, sheds light and cheerfulness around?
43412Who of us that saw him then, my brethren, would have supposed his days to be numbered?
43412Who would have thought that in three weeks we should be mourning his loss?
43412Why did he not seek them out?
43412Why do Italian comic operas always please, in spite of their wretched librettos-- even in Paris, as I was witness myself?
43412With this idea he writes to his father( December 16, 1780):--_ À propos!_ how about the Archbishop?
43412With unselfish emotion Mozart exclaimed:"How can I desert my good Emperor?"
43412You know Frau Adlgasser?
43412You will laugh, no doubt?
43412[ 103] But what of Mozart''s inclination for strong drink, so often talked of?
43412[ Footnote 21: When Stadler once complained to him of an awkward passage, and wished it altered, Mozart said:"Have you the notes in your instrument?"

40643Ah, what have we here?''
40643All the next morning he was unable to calm himself, so at last he took a lute and sang: Oh, how shall I measure The joy of our meeting?
40643And the ballades-- the first wonderful, quite new; only I do not understand the_ doppio movimento_ either in this or the second, is it not too fast?
40643And yet who will deny that much"lies in the air"to- day which had formerly to be won by hard fighting, or to be developed entirely from within?''
40643Are you not doing too much, dear Clara?''
40643Asking Marxsen if he considers the pianoforte pieces worth publishing, he adds as to the proposed title:''What do you think of it?
40643Beethoven or Mozart?
40643Brahms did not immediately answer, and I added:''Would you rather not?
40643Brahms glanced at me with rather an inquiring expression, and asked,''Why?''
40643Brendel had not only sent him each work as it appeared, but had urged him to write, asking repeatedly,''Why nothing about Brahms?''
40643But of what use would it be if I were to delay any longer saying plainly what I feel?
40643But the hissing was too much?...
40643But where was Brahms?
40643But why do you keep this ugly old face?
40643But why have you placed your inclination upon a stranger of whom no one knows whence he came?
40643C minor, A major, or G major?
40643Could either of them replace amongst our highest possessions a really great play, a great poem, a great symphony?
40643Do you not like this, my Clara, better than organ?
40643Does n''t it please you?

40643He continues:''Now, where is Johannes?
40643He has only stripped off his body too soon.--If you would give me pleasure, let me find a letter from you in Ddf.--is that quite too bold?

40643How many persons in the audience had read Tieck''s poems?
40643I am dreadfully anxious to know him.... What is he like personally?
40643I only hope you will like it, and that it is not too high?
40643I shall myself write also to Brahms; does his portrait by de Laurens still hang in my study?
40643If at Winsen, why not also at Lüneburg and Celle?
40643Is he dark or fair?''
40643Is he flying high-- or only amongst flowers?
40643Is he setting drums and trumpets to work yet?
40643Is he still in Düsseldorf?
40643Is he with you?
40643Is the overture to Hamlet published?

40643Oh, am I awake?
40643One morning my father, coming into the room at the close of my lesson, asked Brahms:''Has she been a good girl to- day?''
40643Peter roused himself and softly sang the following song: Is it gladness that is ringing, Is it sorrow, in my heart?
40643Some of it is copied from the newspapers; what is she to do when she has no more news?
40643The famous Dramas are gorgeous stage poems; but are they so exceptionally and extraordinarily elevating to the mind?
40643Then he sang with great fervour: Were they thine on which these lips were pressing, Thine the frankly- offered, tender kiss?
40643Upon this Brahms broke silence with the words,"Do they live close by, then, like everyone else?"
40643Was our true love all in vain?
40643What did he mean?''
40643What has he composed?''
40643What have Brahms and Joachim been composing?
40643What is his music like?
40643What shall we call this?
40643What was Marxsen''s share in the art of Brahms?
40643What was to be done?

40643Who are to be sponsors for the little one, and in what church is he to be baptized?...''
40643Who could tell what might happen?

40643Why must we live broken- hearted?
40643Why not have a handsome, curly- haired one?

26320What would the Master say?
26320When will you look up the little_ Polonaise_?

26320Would he approve of such a proceeding? 26320 Your daughter, I take it, is a modern girl?"
26320_ Et ta soeur?_he demanded as he disappeared down the staircase.

26320Or have you seen Giacomo( and have not Meyerbeer and Puccini been bearers of this name?)
26320Or is harmonization the important factor?
26320Or is supermusic always grand, sad, noble, or emotional?
26320Perhaps with you it was not Della Fox.... Who then?
26320Schoenberg is new; is he therefor to be considered better than Beethoven?
26320Should we not allot similar approval to the actor or actress who makes a fine effect in one part or in one kind of part?
26320Should we regard, for example,''Imperial Purple''less a work of creative art than''The Rise of Silas Lapham''?"
26320Should we say that there is no art of painting because the Germans have no great painters?

46102Does that stop the cry of the heart?--for it does cry: does n''t it?
46102Have I explained that in front of the Feldernhalle is a triangular open space?
46102Have you ever been among the mountains in winter?
46102Have you ever seen a gull circling with wide- spread wings above a fish in the water beneath, and then suddenly dart down and bear away his prey?
46102How did you guess?
46102I am right, am I not,_ Herr Sekretariat_?"
46102I can hardly imagine a placid Tschaikowsky or an unruffled Dvorák, can you?
46102I managed to get Beethoven''s"_ Kennst du das Land?_"to suit her, but only after much toil for both of us.
46102I was longing to ask"Reuben who"?
46102Is it possible that it is only her money that he is after?
46102Is it that which the fountain-- my fountain, as I claim it now-- sang to me as I passed to- day?
46102Is n''t it queer to picture the nobility of Europe as running boarding- houses?
46102Is n''t that fine, and does n''t it make you long to be with us?
46102Is n''t that truly German?
46102Is there anything in the world grander, more truly religious than a Bach choral?
46102Is there anything in the world more marvellous than music or more indescribable than its hidden soul?
46102Is there anything more lovely than the quintette?
46102Is there anything more marvellously worked out than that street scene?
46102M. Do you know the"Beethoven- Lied"by Cornelius?
46102O departed gods of Olympus, is there anything more disheartening than this Fashionable Insincerity?
46102Or did I myself unconsciously hum the melody and hear in the ripple of the falling water the soft rhythm of accompanying''cellos and violins?
46102Realizing all this, I judged it wiser to change the subject by asking quickly,--"Are the girls coming to- day?"
46102Strange, is it not, with what a keenly human note inanimate things sometimes appeal to us?
46102Then what do you think he did?
46102To what are we coming next?
46102Was I at fault because when I first heard the giant motif I smiled?
46102Was n''t it sweet of her?
46102What do you think I paid for my seat?
46102What do you think they are doing?
46102What do you think?
46102What need when I am writing to one who Understands?
46102When I tell you that it was my first hearing of"Tristan and Isolde"in the wonderful new Prince Regent Theatre, are you surprised that I hesitate?
46102Who do you think it was?
46102Who ever associated sausages with anything so idyllic as a waterfall?
46102Who ever thought of connecting them with the legends of the Middle Ages?
46102Who was it said that in Tristan the"thrills relieve one another in squads"?
46102Why is it that the most shrinking, retiring, and timid- appearing member of an orchestra is always the one to play the instruments of percussion?
46102Why not?"
46102Why on earth did n''t they rise and go out?
46102Why, you inquire?
46102Will you tell my aunt?
46102Would I pardon him if he gave me my lesson in his hunting costume?
46102You have heard that old adage, have n''t you,"Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone"?
46102You remember the time when he was such a prominent conductor and musician in Boston, do you not?
46102as in a fit of indigestion?
46102while his wife joined in with,"Is n''t Wagner simply delicious?"
13843Well, Musetta,I questioned:"How''s your heart?"
13843( MUSETTA_ without noticing_ ALCINDORO_, takes a vacant seat, outside the café._) How now?
13843( Mimi revives) Do you feel better?
13843( archly) Who knows, sir?
13843( aside to MARCEL) Art mad?
13843( conducting her to a chair near the tire) A little wine?
13843( coquettishly) Could I not come with you?
13843( interrupting) Another tipple?
13843( offering BENOIT a glass of wine) Some Bordeaux?
13843( seeing the rest in the act of eating the cold pastry) What are you doing?
13843( to BENOIT, without noticing the two) Hast seen it?
13843(_ A timid knock is heard at the door._) Who''s there?
13843(_ Checks himself, seeing a fire in the stove._) See I a fire here?
13843(_ Haggling with the tinker._) What''s the price of the lot?
13843(_ Turning to his work._) And you?
13843(_ approaching the window_) Who are they?
13843(_ aside to the others_) What is there to give her?
13843(_ crying_) Who''ll buy some pretty toys from Parpignol?
13843(_ eagerly_) What plot is brewing?
13843(_ eating_) COL. What''s that about forgiveness?
13843(_ endeavoring to conceal his emotion from_ Marcel,_ carelessly questions him_) What time is it now?
13843(_ faintly in the distance_) Who''ll buy some pretty toys from Parpignol?
13843(_ from within_) What d''ye mean?
13843(_ huskily, almost in a speaking voice_) What''s the meaning of this going and this coming, And these glances so strange?
13843(_ in an undertone to MIMI_) Mimi, what would you like?
13843(_ incredulously_) Tin medals?
13843(_ looking curiously at RUDOLPH_) Do you know who she is?
13843(_ resuming his talk_) In a coupé?
13843(_ rises and approaches_ Colline,_ observing with droll inquisitiveness_) What''s in the wind?
13843(_ running to open the door_) Is it?
13843(_ showing one to_ MARCEL) You''re deaf then, or blear- eyed?
13843(_ suddenly seeing_ MIMI_ look round suspiciously_) What is it?
13843(_ to RUDOLPH_) Sleeping?
13843(_ to_ Colline) What?
13843(_ to_ MARCEL,_ offering him some bread_) Choose, my lord marquis-- salmon or turbot?
13843(_ to_ Rudolph) Did you give me this present?
13843(_ watching MARCEL; in a loud voice to MARCEL_) Why, do n''t you know me?
13843(_ with comic terror_) Intend you to read it?
13843Are you jealous?
13843Are you not well?
13843Are you then in love?
13843Are you?
13843Beneath the pillow You''ll find my little bonnet-- Who knows?
13843But who has got my purse?
13843COL. Who bade him bring it?
13843COL. Who knows what will happen now?
13843COL. Who?
13843Can you find me the painter, Marcel?
13843Colline, are you dead yet?
13843Deny?
13843Do you hear me?
13843Do you then dismiss me?
13843Do you think it serious?
13843Do you think this rose- trimmed bonnet suits me?
13843Emma, do n''t you hear me?
13843Found it?
13843Going?
13843Have they left us?
13843Have you found it?
13843He has good taste, then?
13843Here?
13843How now?
13843How now?
13843How shall I get them warm?
13843Is that a living?
13843Is that your latest whim?
13843Let''s play together, let''s play the game of buy and sell: Who''ll give a penny for my guileless heart?
13843Like this?
13843Musetta?
13843No coffee?
13843Now that I''ve told my story, Pray tell me yours, too; Tell me frankly, who are you?
13843Now you that once your love for me betrayed, Why should you be dismayed?
13843Of what use are the forests all white under the snow?
13843On returning?
13843Our own age, less or more?
13843Outside?
13843Please, sir, tell me the name of that tavern Where now a painter''s working?
13843Say, what has happened?
13843Say, will you tell?
13843Shall I be frank?
13843Shall I?
13843Shall we await another spring?
13843Some dancing, accompanied by singing?
13843Tell me how many years Boast you of, my dear sir?
13843The key of my poor chamber, Where can I have left it?
13843Then, you are going to leave me?
13843To buy the bonnet?
13843Wake him?
13843Well, shall we see you later?
13843Well?
13843What can I do to aid her?
13843What can it be that sets you all a- gaping?
13843What d''ye mean?
13843What do you there, so lonely?
13843What face do they show?
13843What has happened, idler?
13843What now?
13843What now?
13843What said the doctor?
13843What will people say?
13843What''s he saying?
13843What''s in the basket?
13843What''s in the wind?
13843What''s in the wind?
13843What''s my employment?
13843What''s the matter?
13843What, Mimi?
13843What, so quickly?
13843When I seek him, in answer to my question,"When shall we start the lessons?"
13843When shall we start the lessons?
13843Where can it be?
13843Where can it be?
13843Where is Rudolph?
13843Where is the food?
13843Which way, then, are you going?
13843Who can not detect in the delicate profile of one woman the personality both of Mimi and of Francine?
13843Who can revive a love that''s dead?
13843Who is it?
13843Who is there?
13843Who''ll buy my carrots?
13843Who, as he reads of Mimi''s"little hands, whiter than those of the Goddess of Ease,"is not reminded of Francine''s little muff?
13843Why not?
13843Why should you weep for me?
13843Why this anger?
13843Why this fury?
13843Will they come along this way?
13843Will you aid us, then, Will you aid us to part?
13843Yes, you are going, my little Mimi?
13843Yet how may I reply?
13843You heard, you heard me?
13843You love me?
13843You saw her?
13843You will not leave me?
13843You''ve found it?
13843all he said was:"Are you very fond of dancing?"
13843and COL. Shall King Louis Philippe at our feet thus lie low?
13843and the key-- where can it be?
13843but where?
13843do you remember how we both went shopping When first we fell in love?
13843laughing lassies, will you play at love?
13843my most noble courtier?
13843no more than that?
13843no wine?
13843sated?
13843what of that?
13843would you now such bitter pain recall?
13843you hear not?
38597(_ Pounds with his staff._) Does the majesty of the law mean naught to ye?
38597(_ Shows them._) Do they look like useful members?
38597(_ Takes withered flower from his breast and kisses it, then looks around him._) Where am I?
38597A farmer''s daughter?
38597Ah, what can be the matter?
38597Ah,''tis agony and rapture, Thus once more her face to view, She''s consenting to my capture, Break, then, heart, what else canst do?
38597And darn our socks and mend our shirts?
38597And what can you do, you useless bit of baggage?
38597Are all girls as lovely as you?
38597Are you afraid to stay alone with me?
38597Are you crazy?
38597Arrest him?
38597Arrest me?
38597As for you, how shall I bear the memory of your treachery?
38597Before mine eyes beheld thee, my heart recognized thee-- LADY H. Recognized me?
38597Betsy Ann-- what do you mean?
38597Betsy Ann?
38597Betsy, too?
38597But what can one expect from populace?
38597Can we escape so-- all alone?
38597Certainly-- and who with a lighter heart?
38597Come here, my girl: lend a hand then, will you, Betsy?
38597Come, can you tell me, read me the riddle, What to our lordly British name Gives power and fame-- Come, say?
38597Come, say?
38597Command, sir?
38597Cruel girl, does it add to your joy To wound the heart that loves you well?
38597Did that hand not heavy chains Heap upon me, heedless after?
38597Did you really think I meant the girls to stick their spears into you?
38597Do n''t you know it?
38597Do you mean what you say?
38597Do you think you can play fast and loose with a master in that fashion?
38597Does he seem to have no moments when he knows you?
38597Fair Cousin, may I ah-- dare hope that you-- er-- will so far condescend to me-- uh-- uh-- as to go for a walk in the park?
38597Ha, ha, ha, spin, sir?
38597Have you heard?
38597Have you picked out your Betsy Ann?
38597Have you taken the money?
38597He follows._) Is it thus that masters treat a servant?
38597How could I ever have spoken harshly to her?
38597How so?
38597How, sir?
38597I old John?
38597I wonder how such peasants talk?
38597I, a peasant?
38597I, old John?
38597I, your master?
38597I?
38597In my dream let me take your hand, as I did once-- do you remember?
38597Is it you?
38597It is really too horrid, do n''t you know?
38597John?
38597Just to hold your hands and chatter?
38597Kind, I?
38597LADY H. Afraid?
38597LADY H. Ah,''tis agony and rapture, That he loves me is too true, I''m consenting to his capture, O my heart, what can I do?
38597LADY H. But can you not see that I am not worth my salt?
38597LADY H. Do n''t you know?
38597LADY H. Must we with wet fingers clasp it?
38597LADY H. O, what shall I do now?
38597LADY H. Oh, can these eyes, grown dim with grief, And wan with tears, seek to betray you?
38597LADY H. What do_ you_ say?
38597LADY H. Who but you?
38597LADY H. Who could refuse such a tempting offer?
38597LADY H. You mean as your servants?
38597Lady?
38597Listen my lads and tell me truly What in our land you most do prize?
38597Madness?
38597Madness?
38597Martha, Martha, what are we going to do?
38597Martha, why are you going?
38597Martha?
38597Never worked before?
38597Now, my lass, what can you do?
38597O who is coming?
38597O, Lionel, do n''t you know me?
38597O, how have I offended?
38597O, what is it?
38597Of you?
38597Oh, how can I elude him?
38597Open it, open it-- don''t you hear?
38597Perhaps you were not kind to her?
38597Pray tell me what this means?
38597Set us spinning?
38597Shall we go hunting, perhaps?
38597Stay-- and be my wife!-- LADY H. Oh, what is he saying?
38597That one seems quite bashful, does n''t he?
38597There''s a voice speaks in my heart night and day, What is the word soft it would say?
38597They might do house work?
38597To remain alone-- with me?
38597Turn it?
38597We''re to spin?
38597Well, my good man, what is it?
38597What I?
38597What ails you now?
38597What are you afraid of?
38597What are you doing here in this masquerade?
38597What do you say, Lionel?
38597What do you want?
38597What else could a fellow do but try to keep you heartened up a little?
38597What else?
38597What folly''s this?
38597What has alarmed you?
38597What is it?
38597What is she going to say now, the witch?
38597What is the voice that whispers in your heart?
38597What is there to laugh at?
38597What old John?
38597What shall we do?
38597What should make you so sad?
38597What was that?
38597What will he think?
38597What you here for, may I ask?
38597What''s occur''d?
38597What''s that you say?
38597What''s the matter?
38597What''s worth your eyes?
38597What?
38597What_ can_ you do?
38597When I first that hand did claim, Was I not repulsed with laughter?
38597Where can Lady Harriet be?
38597Where do you suppose she was?
38597Where have your eyes been?
38597Where_ has_ Nancy gone?
38597Wherefore this pretence?
38597Who are you?
38597Who is John?
38597Why did you leave their company, fair cousin?
38597Why do you disown me?
38597Why not?
38597Why our friendly circle shunning, Dost thou sigh alone, As were some dawning joy delayed?
38597Why should she act so grand?
38597Will you dance at the wedding?
38597Will you go, sir?
38597Wo n''t invite me?
38597Would it amuse you to-- er-- er-- let us say-- go out for a row on the river?
38597You agree?
38597You do not find them funny?
38597You had no one but mother and me, old chap, do n''t you see?
38597You have troubles of your own?
38597You hear, sir?
38597You will let them go-- this useless pair of hands?
38597You''d degrade yourself like this?
38597You?
38597do you know who this is?
38597what is this?
4939Do you see the cattle in this meadow?
4939Is that a dog barking?
4939Looked at from the musician''s point of view, how much do we not see novel and strange, beautiful and fascinating withal? 4939 What do you think of this?"
4939What shall I give you?
493917, dedicated to Lena Freppa?
49392 of this set?
493923, in F, or the last, in D minor?
493925: What more do we require to pass one or several evenings in as perfect a happiness as possible?
49396, in F sharp minor?
4939And is he to be blamed for evading tiresome reminders of the past?
4939And is there any significance in the fact that Chopin, when sending this manuscript to Fontana, probably in the summer of 1841, calls it a concerto?
4939And now, having passed over the salt and stubbly domain of pedagogics, what is the dominant impression gleaned from the twenty- seven Chopin studies?
4939And was it the Goncourts who dared to assert that,"there are no women of genius: women of genius are men"?
4939And why may not Art speak for once in such symbols?
4939Are Celt and Slav doomed to follow ever the phosphorescent lights of patriotism?
4939Are the Godowsky transcriptions available?
4939But then as Mr. Philip Hale asks: Why this timidity at being called decadent?
4939But what of that?
4939But why is a Pole to receive less justice than a German?
4939Can anything be more bewitching than the episode in C sharp minor merging into E major, with the overflow at the close?
4939Can anything be more impressive than this opening?
4939Charming, is it not?
4939Chopin seldom wrote ugly music, but is this not ugly, forlorn, despairing, almost grotesque, and discordant?
4939Could a lover''s confusion be more deliciously enhanced by silence and hesitation?"
4939Czerny admired the young pianist with the elastic hand and on his second visit to Vienna, characteristically inquired,"Are you still industrious?"
4939De Lenz in a note quotes Meyerbeer as saying-- Meyerbeer, who quarrelled with Chopin about the rhythm of a mazurka--"Can one reduce women to notation?
4939Did he not once resent the visit of Liszt and a companion to his apartments when he was absent?
4939Does the finale indicate by its minor key the gayety of a man devoid of hope-- as the Germans say?"
4939God calls me; why do you keep me back?"
4939He tells all about the interview in a letter to Titus:"Are you a pupil of Field''s?"
4939Heaven- born geniuses are sometimes very keen in financial transactions, and indeed why should they not be?
4939His lyricism is most human, while the portamento, the slides, trills and indescribably subtle turns-- are they not of the violin?
4939How should I begin to bring it back to God?
4939If Chopin, diseased to death''s door, could erect such a Palace of Dreams, what might not he have dared had he been healthy?
4939If Scarlatti wrote sonatas, what is the Appassionata?
4939If the A flat Weber is one, can the F minor Brahms be called a sonata?
4939If"Don Quixote"is one, how can"Madame Bovary"be another?
4939If"Les Miserables"is included in the list, what are we to say to Huysmans''"La Bas"?
4939Indeed how could it be, with the light action and tone of the French pianos built in the first half of the century?
4939Is it not happiness, gayety, love for the world and men?
4939Is it not one of admiration, tinged with wonder at such a prodigal display of thematic and technical invention?
4939Is it not rather youth exuberant with intensity and life?
4939Is it not strong and energetic, concluding, as it does, with three cannon shots?"
4939Is it not time the ridiculous falsehoods about the Chopin rubato be exposed?
4939Is some forlorn princess locked behind these solemn, inaccessible bars?
4939Is the Haydn form orthodox and the Schumann heterodox?
4939Is the Lady with the Green Eyes and Moon White Face rescued?
4939Is the Polish composer to become a musical Hugh Conway?
4939Is this the nocturne of which Tausig spoke to his pupil Joseffy as belonging to the Master''s"best period,"or did he refer to the one in E minor?
4939It is dedicated to Comtesse Moriolles, and was published in 1827(?).
4939It is irregular and wavering in outline, the moods are wandering and capricious, yet who dares deny its power, its beauty?
4939It is logical, but is it Chopin?
4939It is profoundly ironical-- what else means the introduction of that lovely mazurka,"a flower between two abysses"?
4939It looks neater, sounds the same, but is it Chopin?
4939It was published in 1841(?
4939Its widely dispersed harmonies, its murmuring grace and June- like beauty, are they not Chopin, the Chopin we best love?
4939Just when his individual soul germinated, who may tell?
4939Let me die; why do you prolong my life when I have renounced all things and God has enlightened my soul?
4939Liszt''s influence was stimulating, but what did not Chopin do for Liszt?
4939Mary, Queen of Scots, has her Meline; why should not Sand boast of at least one apologist for her life-- besides herself?
4939Maybe he has not anything to buy bread for mother?
4939Monotonous?
4939Mother, poor suffering mother, is it for this you outlived your daughter?"
4939Now do you ask why I believe that Sand left Chopin when she was bored with him?
4939Now where is the"tradition"when confronted by the mighty crashing of Rosenthal in this particular part of the Polonaise?
4939Now, which is right?
4939Of it Schumann could not ask,"How is gravity to clothe itself if jest goes about in dark veils?"
4939Oh, father, is this the consolation of your old age?
4939Or is all this a De Quincey''s Dream Fugue translated into tone-- a sonorous, awesome vision?
4939Or was he a rejected suitor?
4939Perhaps my sisters have fallen victims to the fury of the Muscovite soldiers?
4939Perhaps spontaneity is impaired, mais que voulez vous?
4939Perhaps the last two movements do hold together, but what have they in common with the first two?
4939Perhaps they hunger?
4939Really, is any great genius quite sane according to philistine standards?
4939Rubinstein, or was it originally Tausig who named it"Night winds sweeping over the churchyard graves"?
4939So these sonatas of Chopin are not sonatas at all, but, throwing titles to the dogs, would we forego the sensations that two of them evoke?
4939That draws around me at last this wind- warm space, And in regenerate rapture turns my face Upon the devious coverts of dismay?
4939That first subject, is it not almost as ethically puissant and passionate as Beethoven in his F minor Sonata?
4939The Jew returns indoors, shaking his head and again asking,"What was this?"
4939The mazurkas and polonaises are danced to- day in Poland, why not the valses?
4939The sketches of nature, of country life, have positive value, but where has vanished her gallery of Byronic passion- pursued women?
4939There is not an abundant literature for this kingly instrument, in conjunction with the piano, so why flaunt Chopin''s contribution?
4939This valse is a favorite, and who need wonder?
4939Thus Von Bulow-- and who will dare cavil?

4939Were ever Beauty and Duty so mated in double harness?

4939What can one say new of the tremendous F sharp minor Polonaise?
4939What could not he have accomplished with the modern grand piano?
4939What has reverence to do with the case, anyhow?
4939What mighty, desperate cause is being espoused?
4939What should I do to restore his faith, how not to lose instead of saving this beloved soul?

4939Where are the Lelias, the Indianas, the Rudolstadts?
4939Which is correct?
4939Which means that Chopin was not such a realist as Beethoven?
4939Who conquers?
4939Who could retain everything?
4939Why all these disjecta membra of a sketch- book?
4939Why could it not at least have worn second mourning?
4939Why then is Chopin singled out as the evil and solitary representative of a vicious time- beat?
4939what is this that knows the road I came, The flame turned cloud, the cloud returned to flame, The lifted, shifted steeps and all the way?
39754''Has he written for the piano, too?'' 39754 ''Now what is the second part of the first allegro like?''
39754''What''s that? 39754 ''Where did you get such a ghastly idea?''
39754''Where does Mr. Liszt live?'' 39754 Am I a piano teacher?"
39754And Joseffy?
39754And what soul thus cruelly bruised, when the tempest rolls away, seeks not to rest its memories in the pleasant calm of rural life?
39754Before we had a chance to hint of one hope long deferred, that of hearing Liszt play, he asked,''Have you heard Bülow?'' 39754 Do we experience this exaltation nowadays?
39754How is it, my esteemed and beloved friend, you have never forgiven?
39754Is it possible, I ask, to make a more difficult avowal with more delicacy or greater frankness? 39754 Liszt smote his breast thrice, and continued:''I know a man( or is it indeed a human being?)
39754The bit stuck in my mouth, and, trembling with indignation, I said sharply:''My prince, am I not your guest, too?
39754What is life but a series of preludes to that unknown song whose initial solemn note is tolled by Death? 39754 What response did Liszt make to these rude words?
39754You ask how he played? 39754 You would like to hear something about Liszt?
39754_ Wer aber wird nun Liszt helfen?_This half humorous, half pathetic cry of his had its tragic significance.
39754''Well, what did you think of him?''
39754''What are you doing, my dear friend?''
39754''Will you play?''
39754( Query: What is the symphonic archetype?)
39754( Which should you prefer hearing, the Norma of Thalberg or the Lucia of Liszt?
39754("O Lord, how long?
39754A LISZT SON?
39754A grim smile passed over the face of the great composer as he replied:"O Herr, wie lang?"
39754Aloud, and in a tone of astonishment, Liszt repeated the words,''Received for my playing?''
39754Already on the way to Kalkbrenner( who plays a note of his now?
39754Am I dreaming, or under a spell?
39754And can not Weimar lay claim to a Tannhäuser performance as early as 1849, the Lohengrin production in 1850, and the Flying Dutchman in 1853?
39754And do not I play in Ratibor, and with a Nachtigall?
39754And how many more?
39754And the public?
39754And the third Mephisto Waltz for piano?
39754And then were there not Liszt and his Princess Wittgenstein at Weimar, and the crew of pupils, courtiers and bohemians who collected at the Altenburg?
39754And what soul thus cruelly bruised, when the tempest rolls away, seeks not to rest its memories in the calm of rural life?
39754And when was there ever such a friend?
39754Angelo consented willingly to pose for the piper, but all questions as to his family extraction were answered with a laconic Chi lo sa?
39754Architecture is nearest allied to music in its fundamental principles-- can a formless house or church or any other building be imagined?
39754Are there no more enchanters like Liszt?
39754As a man or as an artist?
39754At last she asked him in a cool and off- hand manner:"''Did you do a good stroke of business at the concert you gave in Italy?''
39754Brahms or Reger?
39754But an apostate?
39754But could she have foreseen that Richard Strauss, Parsifal- like, had caught the whizzing lance of the Klingsor of Weimar, what would she have said?
39754But for what instrument were the sonatas of Beethoven composed?
39754But seeing that Chopin evolved so much, why should he not also have evolved this?
39754But what boots leading motives-- as old as the hills and Johann Sebastian Bach-- or symphonic poems nowadays?
39754But what was it that happened?
39754But what was to be done?
39754But why did you talk about Kalkbrenner, and a sonata by him for the left hand?
39754But, my dear friend, how was it two months ago at the Conservatory that with the same piece you produced such a wonderful effect?
39754Did Liszt ever love?
39754Did Wagner mean it all?
39754Do his hands only attend to the office of a double winch on a street organ?
39754Do we know many of the great artists capable of writing''the defective side of my talent''?
39754Do you know the Polonaise, by Tschaïkowsky, transcribed by him?
39754Do you not hear the croaking of Poe''s raven?
39754Does not invention belong to such characteristic variation?
39754Had she not been nicknamed"Fürstin Hinter- Liszt"because of the way she followed him from town to town when he was giving concerts?
39754Has he to dispense with his brain and with his feelings in his mechanical execution of the prescribed performance?
39754Has he to supply the ear only with a photograph of the object before him?
39754Has n''t some one said,"See Naples and die-- of its smells?"
39754Have I indeed heard Liszt?
39754Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven had never written anything else; who would have dared to do other than they?
39754He asks, is he never to be taken more seriously than as a pianist, is he not worthy of recognition as a musician, a composer?
39754How can any one_ recite_ upon the pianoforte?"
39754How did Liszt bear the disappointment?
39754How does he accomplish this?
39754How far will the pursuit of technic go, and what will be the effect upon the mechanical future of the instrument?
39754How he treated the clarinet solo in the trio of the menuetto, and the winding of the rondo?
39754How many to- day know the name of Anton Rubinstein''s master?
39754How shall I describe what Liszt made of these genial movements on a first acquaintance?
39754How shall I say it?
39754I wonder what the mothers of these young Lisztians thought of their sons''tact and delicacy?
39754I''ll be no longer a play actor; henceforth I''ll be a tragic poet''?"
39754Is any man ever a hero to his biographer?
39754Is he really a mere spiritless machine?
39754Is it not a remarkable effort for an old gentleman of seventy- two?
39754Is it not related that Pio Nono bestowed upon the great pianist the honour of hearing his confession at the time he became an abbé?
39754Is not the shape exact?''
39754Is the latter not exquisitely idyllic?
39754Is the music, in itself, good or bad?
39754Is there a composer who paints the infernal, the macabre, with more suggestive realism than Liszt?
39754Is this the art of a hypnotiser?
39754It was merely a friendly recognition tempered by humility, as if he meant to ask:--"Why do you need my blessing, friend?"
39754LISZT''S CONVERSION"Have you read the story of Liszt''s conversion as told by Emile Bergerat in Le Livre de Caliban?"
39754Liszt wrote to Wagner, June 2, 1855:"Then you are reading Dante?
39754Now, would not one do it better_ pp._ and staccato?
39754Of what use indeed would such information be to you?
39754Of whom?
39754Otherwise how explain that yawning chasm between Lohengrin and Tristan?
39754Rubinstein, who happened to be there, said to her:''You are not going to be so crazy as to play this concerto?
39754Shall I often meet him?
39754Stumble and trip like a vulgar pianist, or pretend to be stopped by a defective memory?
39754Suddenly turning to the young Bizet, whose fine memory and ability he well knew, he said:"''Did you notice that passage?''
39754The fact is that out of the known 1,300 compositions, only 400 are original and of these latter how many are worth remembering?
39754There is inspiration in it, but it does not reach(?!).
39754This is C. A. Barry''s answer to the question, Why was Liszt obliged to invent the term symphonic poem?
39754This now commonly accepted term had never previously been used, and people asked,"What does he mean?
39754To him the Psalmist''s words,''How long shall they that hate me, be exalted against me?''
39754Was I wrong to say my_ Anch''io_ in this land of improvisation?''
39754Was the Church after all a disappointment to him?
39754Wear evening dress?
39754Were the piano to be abolished how could you have the exquisite joy of hearing Faure in your own chamber?
39754What could he do in such a perplexing cause?
39754What is it that brings into our dwellings an echo of the Conservatory concerts?
39754What is it that gives us the opera at our own firesides?
39754What is that?
39754What was the matter?
39754What wonder?
39754Whenever did they present an Englishman with a_ silver breakfast service_ for gratuitous performances?''
39754Where am I?
39754Wherefore two servants before the cell of a monk; or if attendant spirits, why were they not, according to monastic rules, simply lay brothers?
39754Who remembers the Warsaw of 1831 except Chopin lovers?
39754Who was the lady in the case?
39754Who, before Franz Liszt, would have dreamed of employing cymbal- effects in legitimate piano playing?
39754Why did not Scheffer paint him thus, instead of representing him as one of the three Magi?
39754Why, then, the inevitable wail from the Lisztians that the Liszt music is not heard?
39754Would n''t his Holiness dissolve the original chains so that she could marry the man of her election?
39754and why this half failure?
39754and, rising with that peculiar aristocratic grace, he says in a mild, condescending tone:''For my playing-- am I to sign this document?
39093And is it possible,said he,"that you, too, could think me such a bear as not to receive your brother with kindness?"
39093Heart, my heart, what change comes o''er thee? 39093 Is it not beautiful?"
39093Muss es sein?
39093Must it be?
39093Quousque tandem?
39093What is Rossini?
39093Where am I not injured and wounded? 39093 Why such a variety of dishes?"
39093''[ 140]--''The Concertos?''
39093(_ Wer ist ein freier Mann?_) Beethoven wished to have words for the theme of those Variations with which the grand Sonata, Op.
39093--''None in the summer season?''
39093--''The Solos?''
39093--''The Symphonies?''
39093--Is it not usual for persons in the most respectable conditions of life to purchase rare vegetables or fruit for the table?
39093After a good deal of discussion with one and another, it was at last decided that the works should be brought before the public-- but where?
39093Am I again to experience this hateful ingratitude?
39093And how did Beethoven behave amidst the innumerable contradictions and contrasts that already everywhere pursued him?
39093And what remained for me to do in this, but to give up my teaching and my whole business, in order to devote all my time to him?
39093And why, besides, desire to secure a monopoly of the productions of mind?
39093And you have written of me to Göthe, have you not?
39093Are you satisfied now?
39093Are you satisfied?
39093Are you satisfied?
39093Are, then, these divine compositions to be converted into show pieces for the performance of professional piano- forte players?
39093As most of his letters addressed to me whilst in England speak of pecuniary distress, why should he not have sent me manuscripts, if possessed of any?
39093At my years, I need some uniformity, some equality, in my way of life; can this be in our mutual situation?
39093But is not some blame to be attributed to Beethoven himself?
39093But was all the experience in the world of any benefit to him?
39093But what would the practice of these exercises now avail?
39093But, with Beethoven''s extraordinary susceptibility on the point of love, may he not actually have fared the same as others?
39093Can our love subsist otherwise than by sacrifices, by not wishing for everything?
39093Canst thou help it that thou art not wholly mine, that I am not wholly thine?
39093Does not Mignon''s song breathe all her feelings through its melody, and must not these very feelings be reproductive in their turn?
39093Does not, for example, the middle movement in C major plainly point to the rising of a star of hope?
39093Does the devil then ride you all together, gentlemen, to propose to me to make such a Sonata?
39093Further on, does not this same middle movement indicate the firm resolution of the hero to overcome his fate?
39093Have I not been wrecked once before in this year through Neate?
39093Have I not fulfilled mine towards my poor parents, and rejoiced when I was able to assist them?
39093He consulted me only on the artistical part of the all- important question-- was he to grow rich, or remain poor?
39093He had quarrelled with Stephen von Breuning( as with what friend did he not quarrel?
39093He says:"What can I answer to your warmfelt excuses?
39093He was most enthusiastic about your proposal of meeting him at Karlsbad, struck his forehead, and said,"Might I not have done this before?
39093How can I send you my portrait?
39093How could any rational person who is acquainted with Beethoven solely from his works, maintain the contrary?
39093How many pounds of butchers''meat are allowed for three persons?"
39093How often should one give them meat?--Ought they to have it both at dinner and supper?
39093How strong is your band?
39093How, then, did all this affect Beethoven?
39093I did the same thing with an early song of Beethoven''s--"Who is a free man?"
39093I feel it, my youth is but beginning-- have I not hitherto been a sickly creature?
39093I have not yet decided for or against this change, but who has not felt the storm which is raging around us?
39093If Cato, speaking of Cæsar, exclaimed''This man and we''--what shall we say of such a one as this?
39093In fact, is not the explanation of every individual phrase perfectly natural?
39093In how far could that ameliorate my condition?
39093In whom has the like ever been seen?
39093Is it to be supposed that he put the finishing hand to these also for the benefit of that undertaking?
39093Is the agreement become burdensome to you?
39093Is the reader curious to learn how Beethoven behaved towards such visitors?
39093Is the room large-- does the music tell in it?
39093It is said that, when he was asked,--"What is become of such a ring, or such a watch?"
39093It may be asked what object Maelzel could have to carry his dishonesty to such a length?
39093It may be asked, where was then his powerful patron and friend, Prince Lichnowsky, who would probably have cut the knot?
39093Melody gives a sensible existence to poetry; for does not the meaning of a poem become embodied in melody?
39093Might I not be your agent here for many things?
39093Need we say with what deep regret your late retired mode of life has filled us?
39093Or is it to be presumed that he was timid and alarmed in the year 1809 alone?
39093Or, let me ask, is it right to drag before the tribunal of the public what has been said and done in unguarded moments among friends and acquaintance?
39093The dedication was made by letter only; but are not such letters of greater value?
39093The plan succeeded to admiration, but what was the consequence?
39093They tell me wonders of galvanism; what is your opinion of it?
39093Unless the prices are raised, what will remain for me after so many expenses, since the copying alone has cost so much?"
39093Was there no fault in the execution?
39093Was there no party- spirit?
39093What a frivolous waste of time,& c.!--Why this profound sorrow, when necessity commands?
39093What can I say to you of myself?
39093What can such bravura players make of the melodies of Beethoven, so simple yet so profoundly imbued with sentiment?
39093What do you think of Schmidt?
39093What is a proper allowance for two servants for dinner and supper, both as to quality and quantity?"
39093What is now- a- days thought of a simple_ Allegro_, as written by Mozart or Beethoven?
39093What is to be done at last about this much- talked- of Concert?
39093What is to be the end of it, and what will become of me if it lasts much longer?
39093What then could be alleged in excuse of Beethoven, if Ries were right?
39093What will the professors of the Paris Conservatoire, and M. Habeneck, the leader, say to this?
39093What wrings thee thus with pain?
39093When I had thus proved myself to be right, he said,"Well, and who forbids them?"
39093When could such a mind be reproduced?--when equalled?
39093When the composer entered, the prince said to him in an indifferent tone--"But, my dear Beethoven, what have you been about here again?"
39093Whence was the necessary firmness to come in the conflicts with external life?
39093Where now is feeling-- where expression, and, indeed, where opportunity for the manifestation of any sensibility?
39093Who would not find his feelings revolted by this disgraceful fact?
39093Who would not rejoice to see the wanderer return again to the right path?
39093Why did not Ries insert Beethoven''s letter in that publication?
39093Why not have sent it with the manuscript of the music?
39093Why should no other publisher be allowed to adorn his shop with a work of Beethoven''s, when the house in question already had so many of them?
39093Will you, my dearest Ries, inform Mr. Birchall of this without delay?
39093You love me a little, eh?
39093You will write as soon as possible, will you?
39093[ 11] How happens it that Beethoven, sensible of the impropriety of this system of education, should not have avoided it in bringing up his nephew?
39093[ 127] Who does not with deep regret feel that such gross neglect amounts almost to profanation of the works of the great master?
39093[ 96] Am I continually to be forced to entangle myself in these abominations?
39093add_ two notes_ to a composition already worked out and out, and completed six months ago?
39093and should there not be beauty to render originality palatable?''
39093how can a parvum talentum com ego look for an appointment at the Imperial court?
39093how many violins,& c.& c., with single or double wind instruments?
39093inquired I, writing the words on the slate.--''Neither in summer nor winter,''exclaimed he.--''What should they hear?--Fidelio?''
39093part with thee this very day?
39093when can I again feel it in the temple of Nature and of men?--never?
39093who comprehends the meaning of this word?
39093with whom may I speak of this great divinity?
38654A dream?
38654And how came you here?
38654And if I prove victorious, will you be my bride?
38654And you''ll never tell any one that you composed it?
38654Are you not a Master Singer, Sir Walter?
38654Can no one stop him?
38654Do n''t you know that the singer may have seven mistakes, seven,--and no more?
38654Do n''t you want her to hear you? 38654 Do you want to break down the door?"
38654Eh, what?
38654Elsa,he said,"do you choose me as your defender?"
38654Have you courage?
38654Have you never heard? 38654 How goes the world with you?
38654Is it you?
38654Oh, Elsa, dear one,he cried,"why did you strive to learn my secret?
38654Oh, what shall we do?
38654Oh,cried Haensel,"did you ever see anything so wonderful?"
38654Still working?
38654What do I want?
38654What does this mean?
38654What does this mean?
38654What makes you stand so still and stare?
38654Whence come you?
38654Where am I?
38654Where are you, good- for- naught?
38654Where do you come from?
38654Where in all the world is there such a maiden?
38654Which witch?
38654Who are you, maiden?
38654Why do you cry, little girl?
38654Why do you stay?
38654Will he ride upon a snow- white charger?
38654Would you know love?
38654You will not work in this light, Master?
38654--"Where''s his hair?"
38654A trial song, and a love song at that?
38654Ah, where could_ he_ look for pardon for_ his_ sins?
38654Am I ugly, too?"
38654And the faint music that drew him on and on?
38654And what is his power?
38654And would he not take his place among the minstrels as of old in a Tournament of Song on that very day?
38654As for the husband you are to marry,--"and she looked at the frightened Elsa,--"who is he?
38654Beautiful?
38654Betrothed?
38654But how?
38654But tell me first, what of Sir Walter?"
38654But what cared the bold Minstrel Knight for strange goddesses or their powers?
38654But what did Eva Pogner or Sir Walter von Stolzing care for that?
38654But where''s my prayer book?
38654But who shall say he was reading as he turned the time- worn leaves over and over?
38654Could he have been dreaming?
38654Could he pray to the God whom he had forgotten?
38654Could it be that he was not afraid of her?
38654Could no one help?
38654Did Eva look upon him with favor?
38654Did I say all?
38654Did she know the heavy charge that had been brought against her?
38654Do n''t you know that the Witch walks there?"
38654Do n''t you know that there is enchantment in those woods?
38654Do n''t you know that?"
38654Do you know the old verse,"It is always darkest just before dawn"?
38654Do you want me to join you?
38654Do you wonder that all the girls, even Marie, started up in alarm when they heard that strange prayer?
38654Do you wonder, then, that Elsa walked through the forest on that morning long ago, with downcast eyes, oblivious to all save her own sad thoughts?
38654Do you wonder, with such a story abroad, that the Horselburg was shunned by old and young?
38654Does n''t that make your mouth water?
38654Finally she found her voice, and in a whisper just loud enough for him to hear, ventured timidly:"Are you a man?"
38654From whence has he come?
38654Gold?
38654Had Daland a daughter?
38654Had Magdalena seen her scarfpin?
38654Had not the knight to whom she had given her heart returned from his wanderings in foreign lands?
38654Had she forgotten all her promises?
38654Have you any work for me?"
38654Have you no greeting for me?"
38654He had promised Eva that he would become a poet, a singer, for her sake, and he wished to do so, but where and how was he to begin?
38654He took a long breath, leaned forward, and whispered eagerly:"May I hope?
38654Hey, fellows, what do you want?"
38654His prayer was lifted up in silence and borne, who shall say where-- to what High and Holy presence?
38654How could he become a Master Singer in one day?
38654Impatient was he, also, for had he not expected to spend that very night by his own fireside with his daughter Senta?
38654It was such a little thing, and was he not her shield, her angel, her preserver?
38654Meanwhile the Witch was croaking in her awful voice:"Who comes here to my hut in the woods?
38654Might he hope?
38654Must her father''s rash command be obeyed?
38654Must she, his wife, always remain in ignorance?
38654Now will you give me bread?"
38654Oh, what''s to be done?"
38654Or are you promised to some one else?"
38654Quick as lightning came a squeaking voice from the inside:"Nibble, nibble, mousekin, Who''s nibbling at my housekin?"
38654Senta was quite willing, for had she not loved this stranger for a long, long time?
38654She spoke thus:"Who is this Swan Knight who has vanquished the once powerful Frederick?
38654She went on:"Do you see that jug over there on the table?
38654She, the proud Princess, most cruelly wronged, would she shield one who had fallen so low?
38654Suddenly the father, missing the children, inquired:"Where are Haensel and Gretel?"
38654Tannhäuser exclaimed in a tone of awe,--Elizabeth, the beautiful Princess, whose name he had forgotten-- what of her?
38654The crooked back, the burning eyes peering out from under the tangled hair, the rags, the ugliness,--oh, must she always stay?
38654Then he said aloud:"Do n''t you know that the marker is the man who sits in the curtained box and marks the mistakes?"
38654Then in a wee, small voice, he said:"Good wife, wo n''t you buy a broom?"
38654This gentle strain that spoke of endless devotion and sacrifice; was that love?
38654To whom should she turn for guidance?
38654Was it a puzzle?
38654Was it madness that inspired the knight?
38654Was it there on the floor?
38654Was not Elsa afraid that he would just as magically disappear?
38654Was she Elsa of Brabant?
38654Was she not going to meet her Knight, him whom God had sent to defend her?

38654Who was this ragged fellow who dared to interrupt the thrilling story?
38654Who were they to judge him and deny him the opportunity to repent?
38654With a loud cry he stretched forth his arms and called,--"Venus, goddess, do you hear my call?"
38654Would he forsake a love like that?
38654Would he give her to him for a wife?
38654Would he never be able to make love in peace?
38654Would her life never, never change?
38654Would not the Witch show her how?
38654Would she not trust him utterly?
38654Would the fetters that bound the Swan Knight''s lips ne''er be loosened?
38654Would they rob his soul of its eternal peace?
38654and she flounced off, murmuring:"What''s to be done?
38654answered the Knight, sadly,"what have you done?"
38654are n''t you ashamed, you greedy boy?
38654asked Daland,"and whither are you going?"
38654but what does she gobble?"

40383Some boys who happened to hear him, called out to him:"What good is it for you to be thus singing and playing?
40383Startled by the sound, the three maidens ceased dancing, and one of them asked hurriedly:"Where are my gloves?"
40383The Musicians answer,_ I pray you good Sir, why say you so?_ Man,_ Because Jean Sanderson will not come too_.

40383The dejected giant, hearing himself thus questioned, ejaculated whiningly:"Come back again?

38023''Well, Mr. Fields,''she said, with great impressiveness,''what have you new in literature to- day? 38023 About the American''twang''?
38023Did n''t I tell you so?
38023Did you see the advertisement?
38023Do n''t you know why everything on the stage has been going so badly to- night?
38023Do you remember,he said, laughing,"how embarrassed I was when you kissed me?
38023For heaven''s sake, Behrens,said I,"what''s the public going to do while we stand there?
38023Heavens, Louise,they exclaimed,"what do you do in this opera anyway?
38023How can I tell?
38023How did you do it?
38023How did you manage to reach the Czar?
38023How do you know that?
38023I have never heard her-- do I know that she can sing? 38023 I''ve come,"said she in a soft, small voice,"to ask you if you would please kiss me?"
38023Indeed? 38023 My dear,"she exclaimed,"tell me what are''buttered nuts''?"
38023My pin is upside- down, is n''t it?
38023Oh, Miss,she cried in a tone of awe and curtseying to his name,"you do n''t mean''i m that wrote_ Tell me not in mournful numbers_?
38023Sing where?
38023Sing?
38023Then I do n''t sing wrong?
38023Was all that gossip about disputes and jealousies between Kellogg and Gary last season a managerial dodge for notoriety?
38023Well,remarked that gentleman casually, winking at Jarrett,"can she sing?"
38023What are you going to do about it?
38023What are you going to wear?
38023What do you expect me to do?
38023What do you expect,I demanded, in my old- fashioned yet childish way, being at the time eighteen,"what do you expect of a person of my age?"
38023What do you mean,he demanded,"by taking liberties with the music like that?"
38023What do you think it is worth?
38023What do you think of Americans as an opera- going people?
38023What do you wear it that way for?
38023What have we done?
38023What is all this talk I hear about a lot of rich men coming to the front in New York to support Mapleson''s operatic ventures with their money?
38023What is your song?
38023Where are you bound for?
38023Who is she,they would demand indignantly,"to come and take the bread out of our mouths?"
38023Why did n''t you say so in the first place?
38023Why did n''t you say so?
38023Why on earth,cried the publisher,"do n''t you get a new hat?"
38023Will you bet?
38023You sang that for me in Washington, did n''t you, Miss Kellogg?
38023You would n''t expect me to sing?
38023You-- don''t think that she will be offended if I send her this message-- now-- do you?
38023_ Nichts?_he repeats.
38023_ That?_ I would n''t sing like that for anything! 38023 _ Was hast du gesehen?_"says he.
38023A tenor?
38023After another lovely thing which he played for us, I was so impressed by the rare tone of his instrument that I asked:"Is that a Böhm flute?"
38023Although one woman did write,"who ever saw more simplicity on the stage?"
38023And how, often and often, it is then that victory comes?
38023And then he asked,"How would you like to sing?"
38023And, my dear Miss Kellogg, who_ was_ Tennyson?"
38023Are you not crying for the moon in union with your Emersons and Longfellows-- with your La Farges and your Gilders?
38023Are you not yourself the_ Spirit Nightingale of the West_?
38023Besides, what rivalry could there possibly be between a soprano and a contralto?
38023But did she ever give a double a chance to lead her battle charge?
38023But what do they care for the twilight of the Valley?
38023But why, O why, the eternal_ Soldiers''Chorus_?
38023CHAPTER XXXII GOOD- BYE TO RUSSIA-- AND THEN?
38023Can we hold their interest for so long while nothing is happening?"
38023Clara Louise Kellogg, eh?
38023Colonel Stebbins, who was anxious, said to Maretzek:"Do n''t you think she had better have a German coach in the part?"
38023Could anything be more delicious than the taste of black birch?
38023Could anything be more entertaining than this naïve fashion of making a date in Heaven?
38023Did they grasp the moon in the waters and at last disturb the image?
38023Did you hear that''la''in the second act?
38023Do I make myself understood, I wonder?
38023Do n''t you know how, after striving and straining for something, you at last relax and let some inner part of your brain carry on the battle?
38023Do n''t you notice the difference?
38023Do they speak English in America?"
38023Do you find your artists difficult to manage?
38023Do you think I''d better do my bicycle act next?"
38023Everyone in the front of the house is asking''where''s the_ prima donna_?''"
38023GOOD- BYE TO RUSSIA-- AND THEN?
38023Has she the means for experimenting, or does she have to earn her living in some way meanwhile?
38023Have I mentioned her name?
38023He idly struck a note and asked my mother:"What note is that I am striking?
38023He would come panting into the house, his round face beaming, and gasp:"Any new American jokes?
38023He?
38023How am I going to do it?_"I sang around in circles until I was able to give the Contessa the correct note.
38023How could it have been otherwise, considering the care she has always taken of herself?
38023How do you do it?"
38023How does he breathe?
38023How many people know that Miss Cushman had studied singing and had a very fine_ baritone_ contralto voice?
38023I carry away America in your voice; and what better token can your nation offer?
38023I cried from the next room,"do n''t you know what note that is?"
38023I explained volubly and eagerly,"she was of the well- to- do class-- the burghers-- don''t you remember?
38023I gasped,"what is she doing?
38023I gazed with horror at the brown liquid in my tumbler, and then said faintly to the waiter:"Ca n''t you get me some clear water, please?"
38023I imagine it is because you do n''t mind putting yourselves under obligations, is n''t it?"
38023I remember Jenny Lind sang:"Birdling, why sing''st thou in the forest wild?
38023I sometimes wonder if other singers do the same with obdurate auditors?
38023I suppose you''ve seen one before, Miss Kellogg?"
38023I wonder how many people to- day know even the name of Fanny Elssler, the dancer who captivated the young King of Rome and lived with him for so long?
38023I wonder if anybody besides singers get such an extraordinary sense of contact and connection with members of their audiences?
38023I wonder if such mad, national excitement could come to people to- day?
38023If Gary was n''t pleased with her treatment last year, why should she engage with us again?
38023In Rostand''s play, they ask Chanticleer:"What is your life?"
38023Is it because all civilisations are destined to have their days and nights of Brahma?
38023Is n''t this a masterpiece?
38023Is this believable?
38023It became quite a joke with them to cry out suddenly, at any sort of sound-- a whistle, or a bell:"Now, what note is that?
38023Lucca came to me laughing and said that some one had asked her:"How do you dare to sing on the same bill with Miss Kellogg, the American favourite?"
38023Next day every one was rushing about demanding,"Who was her teacher?
38023Nilsson, even, was too-- shall I say,_ knowing_?
38023Now how does he do it?"
38023Now, suppose you go on and find that you can''t-- what will you do then?
38023Odd?
38023Or am I mistaken?
38023Or was the principle that organised the European nations itself a false one?
38023Past the back of Taurus, away among the Pleiades, whither dost thou go?
38023Shall my soul return, or-- never?)
38023She has often brought me a book of poetry, pointed out the best thing in it, and said in her soft way:"Do n''t you think this is nice?
38023So I said to my young Connecticut friend:"My dear, you are trying to support yourself and your mother, are n''t you?
38023The thing that one has chosen for one''s life work in the world:--what labour could be too great for it, or what too minute?
38023To each I brought a clearer vision, a surer touch, a more flexible method, a finer( how shall I say it in English?)
38023What are you fitted for?
38023What can you turn your hand to?
38023What do you think this jewelry is really worth?"
38023What have you acquired?
38023What is the use of diadems and coronets if the owner does not wear them?
38023What key was that in, Miss Kellogg?"
38023When the girl had finished, I said:"My dear, have you read those words?"
38023When?
38023Where is the future of music to be?
38023Who gave her this wonderful style and tone?"
38023Who is this Miss Kellogg anyway?"
38023Who was it said"the world goes round with revolutions"?
38023Who wrote them?"
38023Why did n''t these rich men that want opera in New York give me any money?
38023Why this everlasting, tedious march,_ when there are so many excellent band pieces on the market that would fit the occasion better_?"
38023Why?
38023Why?
38023Why_ did_ we choose that day of all others on which to begin a journey?
38023Will you allow me to do so?
38023Will you also condescend to write to me at your leisure?
38023Will you not favour me by writing again?
38023[ Illustration:= Carl Strakosch= From a photograph by H. W. Barnett] The last time I saw Patti I said to her:"Adelina, have you got through singing?"
38023and the Israelite climbed down exclaiming in crestfallen accents:"How did you know it?"
38023and then--"I wonder--_could_ it also be the crazy woman who wanted me to kiss her?"
38023exclaimed the landlord, in a new tone,"you will pay_ extra_ for the dinner, if we are willing to serve it for you now?"
38023he cried,"did you ever see anything so splendid?
38023where''s your music?"
54426How now, ye secret black and midnight hags; what is''t ye do?
54426If Tristan is under any obligation to you, how can he discharge it better than by making you Mark''s queen? 54426 Unloved by the lordliest man, yet always near him, how could I bear that anguish?"

54426And Loge?
54426And then we wonder if the musically unprogressive will still be clinging to their jingling classic,"Lucia di Lammermoor"?
54426Are not those, with the matchless comedy of manners,"Die Meistersinger,"enough for one mind to have created?
54426Are these things beautiful?
54426Are they sincere, or does Wagner shadow forth just a suspicion of the dishonesty which lurks in the utterance?
54426Are we afraid of it?
54426Brünnhilde complains:"Why are you angry at me, father?"
54426But does it tell all?
54426But if he failed( and who can doubt that he did after studying the bloodless philosophy of the last product of his genius?
54426But what can we ask?
54426But what do we find in"Parsifal"?
54426But who ever expected to find a consistent logic in the mind of fair woman, even a resident of high Olympus?
54426But who thinks of all this while the performance is in progress?
54426But why go farther with this catalogue?
54426Call ye this a hero of all the world?
54426Can any one show that it has a direct connection with the development of the story?
54426Did Joseph of Arimathea catch the precious drops in it; and was it really the vessel used at the Last Supper of Jesus and his apostles?
54426Did Wagner realize the fathomless depths of his own sarcasm here?
54426Did he see the ridiculous aspect of it?
54426Did the blood of Christ ever sanctify it?
54426Did you ever chance to hear his"Chansons de Miarka,"settings of texts of Jean Richepin''s"Miarka, the Bear''s Foundling"?
54426Do they need a model?
54426Even if he himself did the wooing for his uncle, why should you object?
54426From this Wagner could not escape, even in his"Parsifal,"for Kundry, in the final scene, dies of what?
54426Having turned upon the hand that sought to benefit her, what does she?
54426How came Wagner not to remember the law of operatic tradition?
54426How came Wagner to fail in his puerile attempt to make a drama out of a supposed incident in the life of Christ?
54426How can the dotard Wotan sit by the hearthstone playing at riddles with Mime and not feel the breath of Loge on his neck?
54426How did Siegfried learn his own musical theme?
54426How long did it take the musician to discover that the Virgin was not such inspiring musical material as Mary Magdalen?
54426How long was it before the musicians ceased to content themselves with their tone pictures of ocean waves and murmuring streams?
54426How many of our ultra- refined orchestral studies in logic will stand examination in the searching light of that proclamation?
54426How many viewless ages yet shall run before the process be complete?
54426How much introspection is there in Wotan''s interesting interview with the unseen Fafner?
54426How much more necessary is it to read Maeterlinck''s"Death of Tintagiles"in order to understand Charles Martin Loeffler?
54426How much more of German mystic philosophy, of mediævalism, of the teachings of Siddartha, and lastly of pure paganism?
54426How much of all this did Wagner perceive when he was constructing his extraordinary drama in four plays?
54426How often shall we who are treading the downward slopes of life croon that old couplet and yearn for the cradle songs of Schubert and Beethoven?
54426Howsoever these things be, the ultimate question remains: Will the compositions of Mr. Strauss and his kind stand the test of Ambros?
54426II.--THE CLASSIC OF THE UNPROGRESSIVE But how may he find Arcady Who hath nor youth nor melody?
54426III.--WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?
54426If the lovers of"Lucia"are unprogressive, is, then, a great singer who still sings this part their leader?
54426If we may go so far, how are we to be estopped from prying further into the mysteries of musical depiction?
54426Is Kundry to be explained?
54426Is Parsifal to be analyzed?
54426Is Strauss not a maker, but a product?
54426Is he not only a musical Rabelais, but also that malodorous jest of a Rabelaisian brain, Gargantua himself?
54426Is it art?
54426Is it not a purely Wagnerian touch?
54426Is that a heroic act?
54426Is the embodiment of craft absent?
54426Is the embodiment of subtle psychologic problems in tone hostile to unaffected beauty?
54426Is the green glass chalice which now reposes peacefully in Genoa a holy vessel?
54426Is their æsthetic basis lofty and wholesome?
54426Is their æsthetic centre of gravity within themselves?
54426It is Loge''s triumph, is it not?
54426It was a long way round, was it not?
54426More bitter wars than that have been waged for the sake of acquiring wealth and power, and to what end?
54426Must husbands have had outings in the elemental days even as now?
54426Must the lyric drama follow the march of symphonic music into the screaming regions of the Strauss soul analysis?
54426Now what happens?
54426Now, what has Edward Elgar accomplished, and what does the character of his work indicate as the present tendency of oratorio?
54426Oh, Siegfried and Fafner, Fafner and Siegfried, which of ye is the more comic?
54426Or is it all a beautiful chance?
54426Or is it all, this music of Strauss, a monstrous joke, and does the man laugh in his sleeve at the troubled world?
54426Or is it simply that certain good people to whom the theatre is a place accursed must have their dramatic excitements in some other form?
54426Or was the curse imposed solely that this theatrical picture might be introduced?
54426Shall we say that therefore Beethoven''s psychometry was saner and more artistic than that of Strauss and his few brothers in art?
54426She cries:"The drink, for whom?
54426So he turns to Loge, who comes waving and caracoling upon the scene-- to what theme?
54426The only question that remained to be solved after this was, How far would the musician go?
54426The wound certainly existed; but who can vouch for the preservation of the spear as an object of reverence?
54426These songs have atmosphere, and if it is painted in familiar and safe tints, who shall blame a man for assuring himself of correct methods?
54426Tristan?
54426WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?
54426Was it strange that the primitive mind could not conceive a god who was himself the law?
54426Was the epic man inconstant of soul?
54426Was there any touch of Schopenhauer or Buddha in this?
54426Was there ever a Holy Grail?
54426We are driven inward upon the central and all- important question, How far can music go in the direction of depicting things which lie outside itself?
54426What does all this mean?
54426What does the man mean?
54426What effect has the disappearance of the futile gods upon the dramatic development of the story?
54426What evidence is there that Wagner perceived the full significance of the final triumph of Loge over the erring Wotan?
54426What had the Greek?
54426What has Strauss done in these works to"so get the start of the majestic world"?
54426What has become of the enlightenment by pity?
54426What has so got the start of the majestic art of music as to lead it to the grave?
54426What is it?
54426What is the real truth about this huge ragoût of mysticism and orchestration which in the looming shadows of the Festspielhaus is called"sacred"?
54426What is the result?
54426What is this work, after all, but a summary of the blind gropings of the imaginative Wagner after a philosophy beyond his reach?
54426What is this ye sing?
54426What kind of impression did this drama make upon the unprejudiced and equipoised mind?
54426What majestic development of the Erda theme is this we hear in the Dusk of the Gods motive?
54426What more can one say to recommend it to the general reader?
54426What music has Wagner evolved to body forth the traits and accessories of this godless deity?
54426What was a god to do who was short of power?
54426What was really in Wagner''s mind when he wrote that extraordinarily beautiful passage of song for Loge in the first scene of"Das Rheingold"?
54426What was to be done?
54426What will he do with her?
54426What, then, becomes of this manifestation of Wagnerian philosophy, this joyous tempter of wooden gods?
54426When she has tacitly consented to the theft of the gold, what does she?
54426Where are Brangäne''s heroics in the drama?
54426Where is Italian opera?
54426Which is the truer tale, the more convincing art?
54426Whither is it going?
54426Who are we, to make final conclusions and splutter our puny"Quod erat demonstrandum"?
54426Who was it said recently that the good Mr. Loeffler of Boston thought music in a scale of his own?
54426Who writes now an"overture, scherzo, and finale"?
54426Whoever before heard the lascivious harmony of the third made to chant a psalm of mischief?
54426Why all this pother about the sacrilege of putting the Holy Grail on the stage?
54426Why enact"Parsifal"and not this?
54426Why should it?
54426Why should we believe it incumbent upon us to uphold all that Wagner did?
54426With what heroine is she to be compared?
54426Would not a heroic nature have grasped the significance of the moment, and, foreseeing the approaching shame, have acquiesced in Isolde''s decision?
54426Yet how far beyond Liszt has the psychologic composition of to- day advanced?
54426Yet shall not Idea, subtle, crafty, remorseless, triumph at last?
43289Children, children,it says,"Are you not afraid?"
43289(_ Besieht ihren mit Milch begossenen Rock; Hänsel kichert verstohlen._) Was, Bengel, du lachst mich noch aus?
43289(_ Giebt Hänseln einen Puff._) Lasst seh''n, was habt ihr beschickt?
43289(_ Goes back some steps to the back of the stage and calls through his hands._) Who''s there?
43289(_ He takes his basket and begins to display he contents._) Look, mother, does n''t all this food please you?
43289(_ Ruft durch die hohlen Hände._) Wer da?

43289-- Weisst Du, was der Wald jetzt spricht?
43289--Wie, Gretel, den Strumpf nicht fertig gestrickt?
43289Allein was nutzt der Kommandör, fehlt euch i m Topf die Zubehör?
43289Am Ilsenstein?--Ei, juckt Dich das Fell?
43289And did you also behold all this?
43289And the gingerbread children?
43289And you, you lazybones, have you nothing to show?
43289Arbeiten?
43289Are n''t you ashamed?
43289Are you senseless?
43289At this moment the cuckoo is heard._) Cuckoo, cuckoo, how d''you do?

43289Bin gar so dumm, nimm mir''s nicht krumm; drum zeige mir eben, wie soll ich mich heben?
43289Bist du bei Sinnen?
43289But Hänsel says the angels beguiled their footsteps and why should n''t they nibble a bit at the cottage?
43289But say, what will you with my brother do?
43289But stay, why, where are the children?
43289But the gobbling witch?
43289But there, what''s grinning so there at me?
43289But where, where think you the children can be?
43289Crosspatch, crosspatch, what is the use, growling and grumbling, full of abuse?
43289Cuckoo, cuckoo, where are you?
43289Cuckoo, how are you?
43289Cuckoo, where are you?

43289For the ogress?

43289Hoho!-- Wer spek-- spektakelt mir da i m Haus und rallalakelt aus dem Schlaf mich heraus?
43289How come I in the wood to lie?
43289Hänsel covertly titters._) How, saucy, how dare you laugh?
43289Hänsel, Gretel, what''s gone with Hans?
43289Hänsel, however can you make so bold?
43289Hänsel, what have you done?

43289In all den Stunden nicht mal die wenigen Besen gebunden?
43289Indes die Eltern vom frühen Morgen bis spät in die Nacht sich mühen und sorgen?
43289Is some one there?
43289Ist es ein Traum?
43289Ist jemand da?
43289Johlen und singen?

43289Sagt, wer mag das Männlein sein, das da steht i m Wald allein mit dem purpurroten Mäntelein?
43289Say, who can the mankin be, standing there beneath the tree, with the little mantle of velvet brown?
43289Say, who can the mankin be, standing there so silently, with the little black cap upon his head?
43289Schämst du dich nicht?
43289So haben die Rangen Unfug wieder angefangen?

43289What, here in the dark, under hedges and bushes?
43289Where am I?
43289Where hides the princess who has so great a treat?
43289Where?
43289Who are you, ugly one?
43289Who are you?

39078What makes ole satan follow me so? 39078 You are the Christ, I''m sure it''s true, For none do de miracles dat you do, But how can a man, now old in sin, Turn back still and be born again?"
39078A group of negroes sing while working; one sings a new verse of the song:"Where you git dat?"
39078All I wants to know is,"Does you love the Lord?"
39078An''how you know dey''s angels?
39078Another asks what ship is that"you''re enlisted upon"?
39078Another chorus inquired:"O brothers where were you?
39078Brother do n''t you hear the blind cries, blind cries?
39078Brother do n''t you hear the blind cries, blind cries?
39078Brother, ai n''t you glad?"
39078Dem pooty angels I shall see-- Why doan de debbil let a me be?
39078Did you say that you love the Lord?
39078Did you see Jesus when he wore the starry crown?
39078Do n''t you wish you could pray like Paul?
39078Does he not sing well and truthfully?
39078Every day, every day, Well ai n''t it a pity, ai n''t it a pity?
39078For my Lord is a waitin'', Why do n''t you come to His call?
39078For what has he to attract him at home where he unwillingly begins to think of work again?
39078Go''way satan I doan min''you; You wonder, too, you ca n''t come through?
39078God told Noah''bout de rainbow sign--_ Lawd, did n''t it rain?_ No more water but fier nex''time--_ O did n''t it rain?

39078Halleluyer, did n''t it rain?
39078Halleluyer.__ O did n''t it rain, O did n''t it rain?
39078Hark, the blind man stood by the wave and cried, He cried,"O Lord, do n''t you hear po''me?"
39078He asks"How do you know?
39078He cried,"O Lord, do n''t you hear po''me?"
39078He look so pale an''bleed so free: O do n''t you think it was a shame, He hung three hours in dreadful pain?
39078Hear my Jesus callin''?
39078Hear my Jesus when he call you?

39078How does you know he wore the crown?
39078I went down de hillside to make a one prayer, An''when I get dere ole satan wus dere, O what you think he said to me?
39078In a general mixture of old song and new song, of old traits and new traits, the negro sings a beautiful song which he has called:"Whar''shall I be?"
39078In one of the old songs, the above verses were sung to the chorus Oh, what you say, John?
39078In the old slave song the sinner asks: My Lord, My Lord, what shall I do?
39078In the same manner he sings,"Wo n''t you come an''see yo''Lord?"
39078Is it surprising that he is unwilling to leave the church until a late hour or that he does not tire of singing?
39078It, too, is called"Did n''t it rain?"
39078Jesus is a listenin'', Jesus die._ Where was Ezekiel when the church fell down?
39078John declar''d he saw a man, Whar''shall I be?
39078Mathew, Mark, Luke and John, Whar''shall I be?
39078May these not speak for him, both the good and the bad, in the following chapters?
39078Must be children of the Israelites", which is the common version for the answer to"Who''s all them come dressed in white?"
39078No more water but fire nex''time, Whar''shall I be?
39078Now wo n''t you blow Gable at the judgment bar?
39078Now wo n''t you blow Gable at the judgment?
39078O Lord, ai nt it a pity-- ain''t it a shame-- To see how my Lord and Saviour was slain?
39078O brother, do n''t you hear the blind cries?
39078O my Lord, shall I be the one?
39078O my Lord, shall I be the one?
39078O sinner man, how can it be?
39078O sinners, O Christians, O mourners, etc., where were you?"
39078O sisters where were you?
39078Oh was n''t that sad on Sunday mornin''?
39078Oh, what you say, John?
39078Oh, what you say, John?
39078Once the negroes sang:"Who''s that yonder all dressed in black?
39078Others sung it"Nobody knows the trouble I see, or I''ve had", and asked:"Brother, sister, preacher, will you pray for me?"
39078Should they be permitted to become a lost record of the race?
39078Sinner, what you gwine do when the lamp stops burnin'', Let yo''light shine all over the world?
39078Stop young man, I''ve something to say; You know you''re sinful and why do n''t you pray?
39078The meaning of the expression is something like"Yes?"
39078The old plantation song, instead of saying,"Brother Daniel over yonder,"had it,"Wonder where is good ole Daniel?
39078The old slave and plantation song asked:"Who''ll jine de Union?"
39078The old songs asked:"Wus you dere when dey crucified my Lord?
39078The plantation song asked, O whar you runnin'', sinner?
39078The plantation songs called to him:"Where you goin''sinner?
39078Then when he has finished he begins all over again, if he wishes and sings:"Sister, ai n''t you glad?
39078To this place the negro imagines he will go and who knows but that he may fly there?
39078Tole me whar''my Saviour gone; Whar''shall I be?
39078Well ai n''t it a pity, pity?
39078Well ai n''t you goin''to get ready?
39078Well did you say you love Jesus?
39078Well do n''t you know it''s mournin''time?
39078Well my mother got a letter, O yes, Well she could not read it, O yes, What you reckon that letter said?
39078Well, did you say that you love Jesus?
39078Well, wo n''t you get in the Union?
39078Whar''shall I be when it sounds so loud?
39078What does he mean when he asks:"Does yo''love continue true?"
39078What if his words were rude and its music ill- constructed?
39078What kin''er shoes is dem you wear?
39078What make ole satan hate me so?
39078What''s dat yonder dat I see?

39078Where wus Ezekiel when de church fell down?
39078Who is that yonder all dressed in red?
39078Who knows if the negroes often dream of the grandeurs of the sky?
39078Why did n''t you take heed at the judgment?

39078_ Wo n''t you ride on Jesus?
39078_ Yes, I say that I love Jesus, Yes, I say I love the Lord._ If you love Jesus, you ca n''t keep it, All I want to know is,"Does you love the Lord?"
39078and had not the"blood done sign his name"?
39078or when he insists:"I wants to know, does you love yo''Jesus?"
39078wore the crown?
47080''Who is there?'' 47080 A charade?
47080And does not that exasperate him?
47080And what is there so attractive about it?
47080Are these thine eyes?
47080At what hour?
47080But how is he able to maintain order and harmony in his harem, and to keep down jealousy and rivalry?
47080But the King, what does the King say?
47080Did he speak in the name of his Master?
47080Do you know how we were occupied when you arrived?
47080Do you know who she was?
47080Do you not see that she is fainting?
47080Do you recall that sentence of_ King Lear_,he asked me,"''The worst is not yet,''when they had said:''this is the worst''?
47080Dost thou still belong to me?
47080How can I, in the open streets? 47080 How,"said I,"could you believe that I would bring such a rabble here?"
47080In what way, and why?
47080Is he asleep?
47080Is this thy mouth?
47080It is incredible, is it not? 47080 Madeira at his age?"
47080May we have supper?
47080My beloved?
47080My darling, art thou truly mine?
47080My friends,I said to them,"in the face of a delicate situation do you feel the moral force to do something unusual, grand, heroic?"
47080Not in the service of the Master?
47080Oh, did you see?
47080Then Master, what will you be able to do here before Thursday?
47080Then there is a connection between you?
47080Then there was an original?
47080Thy heart?
47080True enough, but what?
47080What can such a word mean?
47080What dost thou seek, thou who comest up from below?
47080What is the matter? 47080 What on earth is that extraordinary word,''Dampfschifffahrtgesellschaft?''"
47080What people?
47080What time is it?
47080What will become of this precious paper, then?
47080What, do you imagine that I am intoxicated? 47080 Where do these beings come from?"
47080Where is the Alte Pferdestrasse?
47080Who is that young man?
47080Who is that?
47080Who is this Scheffer, then?
47080Will you come to see my gallery?
47080Would you like it?
47080''[ 2] The melancholy of the hour, the clear evening, the shining star and the pastoral life, it is all there; why seek for anything further?"
47080("Fidi, how big are you?")
47080******** De quel mica de neige vierge, De quelle moelle de roseau, De quelle hostie et de quel cierge A- t- on fait le blanc de sa peau?..."
47080A mystification?
47080A wager?
47080Adhere can I get the information necessary in order not to be misleading?"
47080Before Wagner, we two alone?"
47080But can I not persuade you to prolong your stay in Lucerne for a little, in order that the pleasure you grant me may not be too soon over?
47080But how can I feel any ill- will toward the King for his impatience?
47080But how should I be received?
47080But how?
47080But what architect would be capable of constructing this monument according to the ideas of the Master?
47080But what serious thing can have happened to bring you to my house so late?"
47080But why should we cause such a commotion amid the placid population of Lucerne?
47080But, all the same, we must not arrive too soon at Tribschen, and how should we pass the time until the fitting moment arrived?
47080By the lake?
47080Can you imagine my emotion in listening to them?
47080Could anything be going wrong?
47080Could it be possible that a tenor acclaimed by all should have so little vanity and be so nobly conscious of his artistic mission?
47080Could it be that he was a saint?
47080Could it be that we were surrounded by a luminous mist, visible to less fortunate mortals?
47080Could we be dreaming?
47080Did that ill- omened ship come to roam by night upon this impassable stream?
47080Do you love the Florentine style?
47080Do you not understand?
47080Does not his habit make a difference to them?"
47080Does not the staff still burden our hands?
47080For what purpose?
47080Greatly surprised and relieved I cried out, impulsively--"Will you authorise me to write that to Cosima?"
47080How could he foresee that this little slip of paper marked the end of all his troubles, and that happiness was in store for him?
47080How did they know?...
47080I demanded,"and whither do they go?"
47080I find that he has the very suave manners of a priest-- but how can he be a priest, and why are all these women so taken with him?
47080I have composed one myself, very absurd, but who could find a rhyme to add to it?
47080I was evidently out of the running, I was ignorant of everything: why that long black cassock?
47080I was greatly moved, troubled, even frightened, for was it not a presumption, almost a sacrilege, to surprise in this way the sacred mystery?
47080In fact, as soon as we were alone, he said to me in a low voice:--"You have seen Cosima?"
47080In whom could I confide?
47080Is n''t that magnificent?
47080Is not the drinking horn of the pilgrim still hanging from our shoulders?
47080Is that in the play?
47080Is that why he grew so pale?"
47080Of this character one did not ask,"Who is he?"
47080Poet, musician, philosopher-- what, indeed, was he not?
47080Shall I let him go?
47080So the barbers of Lucerne were Wagnerians?
47080The first telegram which arrived the next day was for Richter:"Will they really offer me such an insult as to give my work to- morrow?"
47080The lady starts:"Who can be ringing at my house at such an hour?"
47080The management was stubborn: nevertheless it would have to concede one point; who would conduct the orchestra, if not Richter?
47080They ask him:"Fidi, wie gross bist du?"
47080To be sure, we had never before seen him, but how could anyone fail to recognise him?
47080Toward him who has endeavoured in every way to put through the theatre project which would have permitted the bringing out of my work as a whole?
47080Truly it was very terrifying; what would come of all this mystery?
47080Was he a priest?
47080Was it because he had an intimation of some change, or had they sent him to bear us a last salute?
47080Was it because they knew us to be friends of Richard Wagner, and because the jealously- guarded retreat in which he lived was open for us?
47080Were his enemies still so implacable, and what could they do?
47080What can I say?
47080What can he mean?
47080What can that word mean?"
47080What could be happening?
47080What could he wish to say?
47080What could one add to that?
47080What could result from all these artful under- hand dealings?
47080What had he to fear?
47080What has happened?
47080What has she done to you?"
47080What in the world could it be?
47080What is happening?
47080What plans of future glory have they already formed for him?"
47080What would it be in French?
47080What would they say, and what attitude of mind would they reveal?"
47080Where is he going?"
47080Who would not feel the fascination and submit joyfully to the supremacy of such a genius?
47080Why are you so late?
47080With that smooth- shaven face, had he also a tonsure in the locks that fell long and straight to his shoulders?
47080Would attention be paid to the author''s suggestions?
47080Would everything be ready?
47080Would there still be boats at that hour?
47080You could find time for that?"
47080You will come presently to''Tribschen,''will you not, as soon as you have rested a little?
47080[ 3] But since there are no airs?
47080and did they really imagine that we would proceed to play at charades in the city?
47080asked Villiers,"always so silent and buried in his beard?
47080cried I,"have you not sent it yet?
47080do they really believe so?
47080he said,"are you there?
47080was he already so far advanced in that tremendous work?"
47080what does it matter?
47080where have you been?
47080without seeing even one rehearsal of your work?"
36621''Sdeath, sir, how dare you!--_ Sir Chr._''Sdeath, sir, how dare you look an honest man in the face?
36621''Sdeath, sir, would you have me travel like a lord?
36621''sbud, do you doubt my glass?
36621All right, think ye?
36621And how came you, sir, to impose upon me, and assume the name of Inkle?
36621Ar''n''t I governor of Barbadoes?
36621Are you then really acquainted with the whole affair?
36621At it again, eh?
36621But are you sure, now, you ar''n''t mistaken?
36621But did you mind the women?
36621But do we muster all hands?
36621But how do you like this, Wows?
36621But how the plague am I to live here?
36621But suppose you meet an old shabby friend in misfortune, that you do n''t wish to be seen speak to-- what would you do?
36621But then, the report of his hospitality-- his odd, blunt, whimsical friendship-- his whole behaviour--_ Nar._ All stare you in the face; eh, Campley?
36621But what are we to do next, sir?
36621But where shall I look for safety?
36621But you have had a lover or two in your time; eh, Wowski?
36621But, in two words, will you dispose of her, or no?
36621But, old Medium, what have you to say for your hopeful nephew?
36621D''ye understand your lesson?
36621Do you like it?
36621Do you think I travel merely for motion?
36621He great prince?
36621His hair puffed?
36621How can I, in honour, retract?
36621I had forgot one material point-- you ar''n''t married, I hope?
36621I wish my countrywomen could see me----But wo n''t your warriors kill us?
36621Is n''t it fine?
36621Is not it, as it were, a marriage made above?
36621Is that young Indian of yours going to our market?
36621My presence might distress her-- You conceive me?
36621Od''s my life!----Now for the news-- If it is but as I hope-- Any dispatches?
36621Our black fair?
36621Sail._ Do?
36621Tell me how it happened?
36621Tell me, my good fellow-- what said the wench?
36621What did your countrymen do for the poor fellow?
36621What he''s at his multiplication table again?
36621What make you love me now?
36621What must we do, lads?
36621What plan can I follow?
36621What say you, girl?
36621What the deuce should I be afraid of?
36621What the plague made you loiter so long?
36621What then?
36621What was it?
36621What?
36621Why hover about the city, instead of boldly attacking the guard?
36621Why not?
36621Why, sure, friend, you would not live here with a black?
36621With white and grey hair, eh, my pretty beauty spot?
36621You are acquainted with his character, no doubt, to a hair?
36621You remember the instructions I gave you on the voyage?
36621Zounds, have not I given you proofs?
36621Zounds, what harm did I ever do to be hunted to death by a pack of bloodhounds?
36621[_ Aside._] I fancy, young gentleman, as you are such a bosom friend of the Governor''s, you can hardly do any thing to alter your situation with him?
36621[_ Aside._][_ Exit.__ Inkle._''Sdeath, what am I about?
36621[_ Aside._]_ Med._ Why, what the devil is the matter with you?
36621[_ Clapping INKLE on the shoulder._]_ Sir Chr._ How came you to know him?
36621[_ Exit.__ Sir Chr._ Well-- shall I see the girl?
36621[_ Exit.__ Wows._ Who be that fine man?
36621[_ In a whisper._]_ Inkle._ Are they all gone by?
36621[_ Kisses her._] Well, how do you do?
36621[_ Peeping in at the door._]_ Trudge._ May I come in, sir?
36621[_ Stroking his chin._] Was it like mine?
36621[_ To the Governor._]_ Sir Chr._ Well, young gentleman?
36621[_ WOWSKI goes to TRUDGE._]_ Yar._ And shall we-- shall we be happy?
36621_ 2d Plant._ What were the sailors aboard?
36621_ Camp._ Will my Narcissa consent to my happiness?
36621_ Inkle._ And where is Yarico?
36621_ Inkle._ Are there no better inns in the town?
36621_ Inkle._ Have you provided a proper apartment?
36621_ Inkle._ I follow you-- Yet, can you run some risk in following me?
36621_ Inkle._ I have no means-- how can I?
36621_ Inkle._ Is he so hasty?
36621_ Inkle._ Joy!----of what?
36621_ Inkle._ Suppose, old gentleman, you had a son?
36621_ Inkle._ Trudge, how far are the sailors before us?
36621_ Inkle._ Well, is the coast clear?
36621_ Inkle._ What does the booby want?
36621_ Inkle._ Whence comes your intelligence, sir?
36621_ Inkle._ Why sure you ar''n''t afraid?
36621_ Med._ And is n''t it determined, between the old folks, that you are to marry Narcissa, as soon as we get there?
36621_ Med._ Shall they?
36621_ Med._ Then what the devil do you do here, hunting old hairy negroes, when you ought to be obliging a fine girl in the ship?
36621_ Med._ Well, Sir Christopher, what do you say to my hopeful nephew now?
36621_ Med._ Who, I afraid?
36621_ Med._ You were?
36621_ Nar._ What signifies talking to_ me_, when you have such opposition from others?
36621_ O say, simple maid, have you form''d any notion__ Of all the rude dangers in crossing the ocean?__ When winds whistle shrilly, ah!
36621_ Oh then turn about, my little tawny tight one!__ Do n''t you like me?_ Wows.
36621_ Patty._ And this is she he has brought to Barbadoes?
36621_ Patty._ Gemini; what did you do?
36621_ Patty._ Lord your honour, what young lady could refuse a captain?
36621_ Patty._ Lord, ma''am, how could that be?
36621_ Patty._ Lord, madam, how is it possible to help talking?
36621_ Patty._ Well; and tell me, Trudge;--she''s pretty, you say-- Is she fair or brown?
36621_ Patty._ Well?
36621_ Patty._ What, all alone?
36621_ Plant._ Aye, aye, natural enough at sea.--But at how much do you value her?
36621_ Plant._ I mean, is she for our sale of slaves?
36621_ Plant._ She''s your slave, I take it?
36621_ Sir Chr._ And did you, Narcissa, join in--_ Nar._ How could I, my dear sir, disobey you?
36621_ Sir Chr._ But you would not sell her, and be hang''d to you, you dog, would you?
36621_ Sir Chr._ From the quay?
36621_ Sir Chr._ So much the better.----Foibles, quotha?
36621_ Sir Chr._ Who?
36621_ Sir Chr._ Who?
36621_ Trudge._ And what became of him at last?
36621_ Trudge._ Aye, what was that for?
36621_ Trudge._ Can you keep a secret?
36621_ Trudge._ Did n''t you hear a noise?
36621_ Trudge._ Fine men, eh?
36621_ Trudge._ Let''s see now-- What are you to do, when I introduce you to the nobility, gentry, and others-- of my acquaintance?
36621_ Trudge._ Me?
36621_ Trudge._ No?
36621_ Trudge._ Why would you do that?
36621_ Trudge._ Why, there''s no great harm in''t, I hope?
36621_ Trudge._ Will you?
36621_ Trudge._ Wo n''t you look and see?
36621_ Wampum, Swampum, Yanko, Lanko, Nanko, Pownatowski,__ Black men-- plenty-- twenty-- fight for me,__ White man, woo you true?_ Trudge.
36621_ Who?_ Wows.
36621_ Wows._ For what you leave me?
36621_ Wows._ No, no-- not you-- no--[_Running to him anxiously._]_ Trudge._ No?
36621_ Wows._ Steal!--What that?
36621_ Wows._ What that?
36621_ Wows._ You great man in your country?
36621_ Wows._ You not love me now?
36621_ Wows._ Your countrymen dress so?
36621_ Yar._ And do you know the danger that surrounds you here?
36621_ Yar._ And sha n''t it, sha n''t it indeed?
36621_ Yar._ I knew we should-- and yet I feared-- but shall I still watch over you?
36621_ Yar._ Nay, do not laugh at me-- but is it so?
36621_ Yar._ Say, stranger, whence come you?
36621a tawny?
36621and how are you to recommend yourself, when you have nothing to say, amongst all our great friends?
36621and what were her colours?
36621and you learnt it from a strange man, that tumbled from a big boat, many moons ago, you say?
36621another woman?
36621blood, ar''n''t I in the West Indies?
36621did he teach you to smoke?
36621did n''t you do as you were ordered?
36621did n''t you speak to her?
36621did she say she''d come?
36621he!--Do you think any smart, tight, little, black- eyed wench, would be struck with my figure?
36621he''ll arrive with the next vessel, depend on''t-- besides, have not I had this in view ever since they were children?
36621how can she unmov''d e''er see__ Her swain his death incur?__ If once the squire is seen expire,__ He lives with her._ All.
36621how could you help it?
36621is this a time to jest?
36621let it be light and airy, d''ye hear?
36621pardon me; but you''ll find that hereafter-- besides, you, doubtless, know his character?
36621the fine lady''s complexions?
36621was he like me?
36621what form is this?----are you a man?
36621what means, then, must be used for my safety?
36621what''s that?
36621what''s the meaning of this?
36621whence can it proceed?
36621why this?
36621why what shall I do, if I get in their paws?
36621with what?
36621wo n''t they remind you,__ To sigh with regret, for the grot left behind you?_ Yar.
36621you mean to sell her?
15915''Tis strange... can it be?...
15915''tis there that breathes The dove who''s now your amorous care, The beautiful Olympia?
15915Ah comprends- tu, dis moi, cette joie éternelle Des coeurs silencieux?
15915Ah dear Antonia, shall I appreciate What you do for me?
15915Ah malheureux, mais tu ne sais donc pas Qu''une heure, qu''un moment, peuvent t''être funestes?
15915Ah, qu''elle est cette voix qui me trouble l''esprit?
15915Ah, unfortunate, but you do not know That an hour, a moment, may prove fatal?
15915Ah, what is this voice that troubles my spirit?
15915Aime- t- on une courtisane?
15915Am I nothing?
15915And I?
15915And what dream ever could be born By such realities?
15915Antonia?
15915Après?...
15915Are you coming?
15915As- tu le cauchemar, Hoffmann?
15915At the feet of the beauty who gives us joy Does pleasure sigh?
15915Au moins sait-- elle que tu l''aimes?
15915Aux pieds de la beauté qui nous vient enivrer Le plaisir doit il soupirer?
15915But is it not she?
15915By whom thy latent sorrow Exhales in heavenly dreams?
15915Car toi, tu ne vas pas sans doute me défendre De chanter, comme a fait mon père?
15915Ce qu''il nous faut, c''est la légende De Klein- Zach?...
15915Ce que tu fais pour moi?
15915Comment obtenir d''elle Un pareil sacrifice?
15915Dans ton coeur?
15915Dare you invoke her?
15915Did I love you for it, or it for you?
15915Do you know what a sacrifice?
15915Do you want us to drink without you?...
15915Does one love a courtezan?
15915Eh bien, Antonia?
15915Eh bien, mon père qu''a- t- il dit?
15915Eh bien?
15915Est- ce l''enfer qui parle ou Dieu qui m''avertit?
15915Est- ce un fantôme?
15915Est- il mort?
15915Et moi?
15915Et quelles rêves, jamais, pourraient être enfantés Par de telles realités?
15915Et sans rideau?
15915Et tout à l''houre encor, sur son coeur adoré, Quel amour eternal ne m''a- t- il pas juré... Ah qui me sauvera du démon, de moi- même?...
15915Grace, beauty, talent, sacred gift; All these blessings that heaven gave for your share, Must they be hid in the shadow of a household?
15915Ha, ha, plus sourd encore que l''au passe?
15915Have I wounded you?
15915Have you a nightmare, Hoffmann?
15915He imposes on your youth, and have you measured it?
15915He, doctor?
15915Hein?
15915Hey, who''s there?
15915Hoffman?
15915Hoffman?...
15915Hoffmann?
15915How obtain from her Such a sacrifice?
15915How old are you, please?
15915I, the faithful friend, Whose hand wiped thy tears?
15915In your heart?
15915Is he dead?
15915Is it Hell that speaks or Heaven that warns me?
15915Is it a ghost?
15915Is it not a dream born of fever?
15915Klein- Zach?
15915Klein- Zach?...
15915Lui, medicin?
15915MIRACLE( re- appears behind Antonia) Your mother?
15915Mais n''est- ce pas elle Qui parle par ma voix, ingrate, et te rappelle, La splendeur de son nom que tu veux abdiquer?
15915Mais toi même?
15915Moi, la fidèle amie Do nt la main essuya tes yeux?
15915Mon coeur m''avait bien dit que j''étais regretté Mais pour quoi nous a- t- on séparés?
15915Mon reflet?
15915Must I lose her I adore?
15915My heart told me that I was regretted, But why were we separated?
15915My reflection?
15915My reflection?
15915N''est-- ce pas un rêve enfanté par la fièvre?
15915Ne suis- je rien?
15915O Dieu de quelle ivresses embrases tu mon âme?
15915Oh, oh, whence comes this ill temper?
15915On what thorn have you trod?
15915Oserai- je?
15915Ou donc est- il?
15915Oui, c''est sa voix, l''entends tu?
15915Où vas tu?
15915Par qui la douleur endormie S''exhale en rêve dans les cieux?
15915Perdrai- je l''enfant que j''adore?
15915Plait- il?
15915Plaît- il?
15915Pour l''assassiner?
15915Pourquoi ces cris?
15915Pourquoi cette chanson?
15915Pourquoi t''arrêter?
15915Pourquoi?
15915Pourquoi?...
15915Pourrai- je reconnaître?
15915Pourtant, ô ma fiancée, Te dirai- je une pensée Qui me trouble malgre moi?
15915Q''attendez- vous de votre servante?
15915Qu''as tu donc?
15915Qu''attendez vous, monsieur?
15915Qu''elle ardeur m''entraine et me dévore?
15915Qu''en fais tu maintenant?
15915Qu''en peut on dire?
15915Quant aux traits de sa figure?...
15915Que dis tu?
15915Que dit il?
15915Que fais tu, traitre?
15915Que mon amour te perd a jamais si tu restes?
15915Que parles- tu de trois maîtresses?
15915Que veux tu dire?
15915Que voulez vous qu''on dise?
15915Quel age avez vous, je vous prie?
15915Quel âge?...
15915Quels amours sont donc les vôtres?
15915Qui de nous les arrêtera?
15915Qui sait?
15915Qui, moi?
15915Qui, mon père à présent, m''impose la vertu Du silence( vivement) Veux tu m''entendre?
15915Qui?
15915Quoi d''un regard?...
15915Quoi?
15915Quoi?
15915Quoi?
15915Sais tu quel sacrifice, S''impose ta jeunesse et l''as tu mesuré?
15915Sans couvre- pied?
15915Sans oreiller?
15915Son reflet... tu doutes De la puissance de tes yeux?
15915Still, oh my affianced, Shall I speak my thought?
15915Sur quelle herbe as- tu donc marché?
15915T''aimé- je donc pour elle, ou elle pour toi?
15915Ta maîtresse est donc un trésor Que tu méprises tant les nôtres?
15915Ta mère?
15915That Schlemil, this night, may strike you in my arms?
15915That my love will cost your life if you remain?
15915The deuce... why reopen old wounds?
15915Then your mistress is such a treasure That you despise so much our own?
15915This good monsieur Crespel, I like him, But where is he?
15915This time do you hear?
15915Tu me fuis?
15915Un rayon de flamme Pare ta beauté, Verras tu l''été, Fleur de l''âme?
15915Until then Will you do me the favor To keep company with my Olympia?
15915Veux- tu qu''on se grise sans toi?...
15915Viens tu?
15915Voulez- vous le récit de ces folles amours?...
15915Vous me quittez?
15915Vous voyez, jusque là Voulez vous me faire la grâce De tenir compagnie à mon Olympia?
15915Well, Antonia?
15915Well, this trouble she inherited From her mother?
15915Well?
15915Well?
15915What ardor draws and devours me?
15915What are you saying of three mistresses?
15915What can they say?
15915What can we possibly say?
15915What did my father say?
15915What did you say?
15915What do you await from your servant?
15915What do you mean?
15915What do you wait for?
15915What do you, traitor?
15915What is he saying?
15915What say you?
15915What then?
15915What will you do with him now?
15915What?
15915What?
15915What?
15915What?
15915What?
15915What?
15915Where are you going?
15915Who of us will do it?
15915Who speaks by my voice ingrate, and recalls to you The splendor of the name that you would abdicate?
15915Who, me?
15915Who?
15915Why stop?
15915Why these cries?
15915Why this song?
15915Why, what is the matter?
15915Why?
15915Why?
15915Will you see the summer?
15915Wo n''t she take supper?
15915Would you like the story of my crazy loves?...
15915Ye gods with what bliss ye fire my heart?
15915Yes, yes,''tis her voice, do you hear?
15915You do not answer?...
15915You doubt The power of your eyes?
15915You escape me?...
15915Your mother?
15915am I the plaything of a dream?
15915by a look... through a window?
15915ce mal qu''elle hérita, De sa mère toujours en progrès?
15915combien de temps Vivra- t- elle?
15915d''où vient cet air fâché?
15915entends tu, cette fois?
15915how long will it be That it lives?
15915mon reflet?
15915oses tu l''invoquer?...
15915par la fenêtre?
15915qu''ai je fait?
15915suis- je jouet d''un rêve?
15915t''ai- je irritee?
15915trois drames dans un drame Olympia?
15915we''re not all of us deaf?
15915à quoi bon rouvrir une vieille blessure?

6443''And might not a widower try?'' 6443 ''And shall this woman here,''he asks,''whom I love, go with me and with you there?''
6443''And what people,''asks the dwarf,''live upon the mountains?'' 6443 ''And who live up among the clouds?''
6443''But could I pass through the fire?'' 6443 ''But suppose,''says the Fire God,''that some one should steal the ring from you while you were asleep?''
6443''Fear?'' 6443 ''What must I give you?''
6443''Who is that,''he thinks,''covered with the shield? 6443 Ambrosia?
6443And did you really, really see it all in the fire?
6443And is that all?
6443And what became of the princess?
6443And what now of the hero? 6443 And whom do you think I see now?
6443And will the knight get well again?
6443And wo n''t the knight come back at all?
6443And you can see all those things in the fire?
6443Are there any marshmallows left?
6443But how can anybody see such things? 6443 But oh, what of those to whom the letters were sent?
6443But the new year will begin to- morrow,I said,"and it will be just as good as the old one, will it not?"
6443But what is this more wonderful sight still that he sees? 6443 But what made the man who was wrong ever fight at all,"the little girl asked,"if everybody believed that he was sure to get beaten?"
6443But why ca n''t I see such things as you see?
6443Can you? 6443 Did you want to know more about the Daughter of the God and the Hero who knew no fear?"
6443Do you mean Jupiter and Juno?
6443Do you see how very wrong it is for the knight to go away after the goddess into the mountain? 6443 Do you think anybody could see anything in a fire like that?"
6443Do you want him to be a knight?
6443Does she, indeed? 6443 He sees all this just as plainly as I see it here in the fire; but do you think he is afraid?
6443Is he a knight?
6443Is he braver than the one that killed the dragon?
6443Is n''t it time,she said,"that the daughter of somebody else was asleep, too, if she wants to grow to be a woman?"
6443Is she Venus then?
6443Is she the one that had the apples?
6443It ends just like''The Sleeping Beauty,''does n''t it?
6443Now the stranger looks stern and says:''But who shall mend the sword that it may be fit for the fight?'' 6443 Oh, I believe anything you say,"said the child,"but where is the green knight?"
6443Oh, that''s the way they always are,said the little girl;"is she beautifuller than the one that had the fire all round her?"
6443Perhaps you know what this is, but I am afraid you do n''t Do you remember what I told you once about the Holy Grail? 6443 The town clerk hobbles away, and now who should come in but the goldsmith''s daughter herself?
6443Were the apples like that-- oh, what was it? 6443 What are you two doing here all alone?
6443What can you see in it?
6443What do you mean by''the people in those days''?
6443You can see things all around the fire, just the same as in it, ca n''t you?
6443''A pleasant- looking fellow you are,''he says;''can you teach me what fear is?
6443''And what will you give us now,''they cry,''if we will untie you and let you go?''
6443''But why should he not win?''
6443''Can it be,''he thinks,''that this is the Fool, taught by pity, for whom we were to wait?''
6443''Did you kill this poor bird?''
6443''Do you know what you have seen?''
6443''Do you not know,''the old knight asks him,''what holy day this is, and that none now should come here bearing arms?''
6443''Have you ever known fear?''
6443''Have you not a daughter?''
6443''Is the knight awake?''
6443''Is the ransom ready for us?''
6443''Is the ship nowhere in sight?''
6443''This is my daughter,''he says;''is she not all and more than all that I told you?''
6443''What is the matter?''
6443''What people, then,''he asks for his first question,''live under the ground?''
6443''Why should we try all these things,''he thinks again,''when none can help him but the simple Fool?''
6443''Why, do you see this magic helmet of mine?
6443Ah, when will her hero come back to her?
6443And because of that did his sweetheart perhaps lose a ribbon or a trinket?
6443And how does your mother know what I can see in the fire or what I ca n''t see?"
6443And is there any thing that such a hero loves better than a good sword?
6443And what do you see in the fire now?"
6443And who do you think is working at the forge?
6443And whom do you think the king''s new bride sees in all this happy crowd?
6443Are the King''s men coming then to carry back the princess, perhaps to kill the knight?
6443Are the flowers alive, and are they running about and playing together?
6443Are they the sea fairies, dancing and playing together and calming the water, to bring the sailors safe back to their homes, do you think?"
6443But a harder task than all is to come for the Father of the Gods; how shall he deal with his own daughter, who has disobeyed him?
6443But how do you suppose the minstrel knight likes it?
6443But what was this other music that followed it?
6443But who would do it and give up her own life?''
6443Can he save her and go back again to the rage of the storm and live in it forever, live in it till doomsday?
6443Can you hear that too?"
6443Can you not see her yet?''
6443Can you see them all the time?"
6443Can you see them?
6443Can you think how a bunch of sweet, fresh, red and white roses would look if it should get terribly angry?
6443Can you think of anything more horrible?
6443Did he catch at this very stick as he sank?
6443Did his wife wait and wait for him at home, till his shipmate came and told her?
6443Did the captain''s daughter and the young mate sit under it and whisper stories to each other in the calm evenings of the voyage?
6443Did you ever hear of such absurd conduct from a young man dressed in green?
6443Did you ever hear of the Holy Grail?
6443Did you see the big, bright spark that flew up the chimney?
6443Do n''t you know you''ll catch your death o''cold sitting here so long?"
6443Do you know who Davy Jones is?
6443Do you see, then, why he has kept him and fed him and brought him up so carefully?
6443Does everything in the place know that he is here, too, and feel sad to see him lying sick and wounded and weak and weary?
6443Does it not tell of green palm- groves and sunny skies and warm breezes?
6443For what was he to any woman that she should give her life, or even an hour of it, for him?
6443How could anybody sing when he was thinking of that?
6443How do you see them?"
6443I mean can anybody?"
6443Is it a pleasant thing to have or to know or to do?
6443Is it something I ought to know how to do, something you ought to have taught me and have not?
6443Is that all you care for a promise?
6443Is this the promise that the Father of the Gods made to his daughter?
6443It must be a knight, but is it not hard for him to lie there all dressed in armor?''
6443Now can you?
6443THE HERO WHO KNEW NO FEAR"Do n''t you think the fire is very good to- night?"
6443That he is a fool the old man thinks is clear enough, but how could he kill the swan?
6443That is enough, is it not?"
6443The Father of the Gods hesitates; how can he get the treasure?
6443The child came to me with a face full of perplexity and said:"What do you suppose mamma just told me?"
6443The king asks, just as everybody always asks when he is told that,''Whom do you want me to have?''
6443This is a good answer, and the stranger asks again:''What sword must he use to kill the dragon?''
6443Was his life or his peace better than another''s, that another''s should be given for his?
6443Was it again the bells of Monsalvat, this soft chime that came on the still air?
6443Was it blown away from the mast in a gale?
6443Was the net torn when it broke away, and did the fisherman lose some fish?
6443What can she do?
6443What do the nymphs say to the dwarf?
6443What do you think became of her?"
6443What does it look like to you?"
6443What does it to you?"
6443What has he done?
6443What is it like?''
6443What is there in her face that could melt into a woman''s compassion and pity?
6443What man cruel enough to kill this beautiful, harmless swan can have found his way here, where none can come who is not chosen by the Grail?
6443What right had he to expect anything when he meant to give nothing?
6443What shall he do now?
6443What shall he do?
6443Where are his thoughts now?
6443Where is he?
6443Where is he?"
6443Where is the sweetness of a woman''s lips?
6443Who is he that has done it?
6443Who is the strongest of heroes whom the Father of the Gods loves?''
6443Why should any woman love him when there were so many others for her to love?
6443Why should her coming bring him hope?
6443Why should they love such men as these and never him?
6443Will it not be good for her to remember Brünnhilde''s fearless truth, Senta''s sacrifice, Elizabeth''s constancy?
6443Will she give up the ring?
6443Will she help the gods to find the rest that they long for?
6443Will their great father let the Goddess of Love be taken from them again, and must they all grow old and die, that he may keep this ring?
6443With her to help him, what can he not do?
6443Would he find and help her in her greatest need, like Lohengrin?
6443Would he only love her and sing a song for her, like Walter?
6443Would he seek her out and come to her like Siegfried, through struggles and through fire?
6443Yet where is the tenderness that one would seek in a woman''s eyes?
6443You can puff yourself up like a dragon, of course, but can you make yourself small as easily?
6443he answers;''no, what is fear?
6443who''s attending to the fire?
6443you know the name of it-- that the other gods used to eat?"
16250Ah, where, mother, hast given thy might that commands the wave and the tempest?
16250Am I in Cornwall?
16250Am I not duped?
16250And shall not its dawn be dreaded by us?
16250And where must I then follow?
16250Are these thine eyes?
16250Are they balmy beauteous billows?
16250Art thou mine?
16250Art thou then dead?
16250Away, and watch for her, foolish I see so well and plainly, let not thine eye seek vainly Dost thou not hear?
16250Behind the reef?
16250Being so careful, my lord Tristan, another custom can you not learn?
16250Betrayed am I then?
16250Betrayed e''en here?
16250Betrays he me?
16250Brighter growing, o''er me flowing, are these breezes airy pillows?
16250But now attempt thy fate to foretell me?
16250But tell me truly, trusty friend, why languishes our lord?
16250But the Day must dawn and rouse thee?
16250But when you bade him hither?
16250Can I bear it now?
16250Can I bear to lie couched here in quiet?
16250Can I believe it?
16250Can I not heal it?
16250Canst thou not see her?
16250Comes no relief for my load of grief?
16250Dare you to flout me?-- Was he not my betrothed, that noble Irish knight?
16250Deprived by Tristan of this our solitary, swiftly fleeting, final earthly joy?-- His wound, though-- where?
16250Do I behold thee?
16250Do I embrace thee?
16250Does he still sleep?
16250Dost thou not hear?
16250Dost thou not see?
16250Dost thou see her now?
16250Dost thou see?
16250Extolled by ev''ry nation, his happy country''s pride, The hero of creation,-- whose fame so high and wide?
16250For Tristan''s sake contrived was this scheme by means of Melot, in truth: now would you decry his friendship?
16250Friendship wilt thou still deny?
16250Full of grace and loving mildness, floating o''er the ocean''s wildness?
16250Go ask himself, our gracious host, dare he approach my side?
16250Ha!--who is speaking?
16250Hast not a word to offer?
16250Hast thou preserved them?
16250Have I herds, then?
16250Have I repulsed thee?
16250Have I then lost thee?
16250He serves Isolda better than you his hand gives help which yours denies: what need of such delay?
16250Hear and feel ye not?
16250Heard I not ev''ry sentence?
16250Here I remain: heard you not?
16250Here thy hand?
16250Here thy heart?
16250How came I here?
16250How came you so wrong- minded and by mere fancy blinded?
16250How can I support such anguish?
16250How could Isold''from this world be free, which only holds Isolda for me?
16250How fair, how sweet art thou!-- And Kurvenal, why!-- what ails thy sight?
16250How now?
16250Howe''er can Tristan thank thee?
16250I staked my head thereon: How is the pledge redeemed?
16250If I unheeding left the helm, how might I pilot her ship in surety to King Mark?
16250If he awoke it would be but for evermore to leave us, unless we find the lady- leech; alone can she give help.-- See''st thou nought?
16250If horns yet brayed, how could I hear that?
16250If wife he''d make thee unto King Mark why wert thou in this wise complaining?
16250In Morold''s lifetime dared any have dreamed to offer us such an insult?
16250In haste to we d thee to my hero with flying sails I followed thy track: but howe''er can happiness o''ertake the swift course of woe?
16250Is he Melot''s ally?
16250Is he not Tristan''s trustiest friend?
16250Is he not worth thy gaining?
16250Is it I alone am hearing strains so tender and endearing?
16250Is it no dream?
16250Is it thy own self?
16250Is she with travel worn?
16250Is''t I?--Is''t thou, held in my arms?
16250Kareol''tis; dost thou not know thy fathers''halls?
16250Kurvenal!--thou?
16250Kurvenal, dost thou not see?
16250Liv''st thou not?
16250Lost are thy senses?
16250Love''s goddess dost thou not know?
16250May I an answer make her?
16250May thus the Day''s evil threats be defied?
16250Mean you Sir Melot?
16250Mean you Sir Tristan, lady mine?
16250Mindest thou not my mother''s arts?
16250Mindest thou not thy mother''s arts?
16250Mindst thou that?
16250Must I be wailing at his side, who, in rapture coming to seek him, fearless sailed o''er the sea?
16250Must I live, then?
16250Must I waken?
16250Must honor, fame, power and might, must all thy noble service done be paid with Mark''s dishonor?
16250Must not daylight dawn, and rouse me?
16250Must thou ever wake my woe?
16250Must thy light be burning ever, e''en by night our hearts to sever?
16250My lov''d one hides in darkness unseen: wouldst thou hold from my side my dearest?
16250No ship yet on the sea?
16250Now dost thou see her?
16250Now say to me, my sov''reign, was my impeachment just?
16250Now, wilt thou obey?
16250O sweetest, highest, fairest, strongest, holiest bliss?
16250O why, Isolda, Why this to me?
16250Of royal race and mild of mood, who passes King Mark in might and power?
16250On what account?
16250Say, must our sails be weighted, filled by thy sighs unbated?
16250Say, where sail we?
16250Say, wilt suffer such scorn?
16250See you not how his heart with lion zest, calmly happy beats in his breast?
16250See''st thou Isolda?
16250See''st thou herself?
16250See, oh comrades, see you not how he beameth ever brighter-- how he rises ever radiant steeped in starlight, borne above?
16250Seemed the reward too slight and scant that what thou hast won him-- realms and riches-- thou art the heir unto, all?
16250Seemeth my saying obscure to you?
16250Shall I beseech him to attend thee?
16250Shall I breathe them?
16250Shall I listen?
16250Shall I listen?
16250Shall I sip them, dive within them, to my panting breathing win them?
16250Silent art keeping while I am weeping?
16250Sir Tristan gives thee Cornwall''s kingdom; then, were he erst thy debtor, how could he reward thee better?
16250TRISTAN(_ drawing his sword and turning quickly round_) Who''s he will set his life against mine?
16250The buckler Tristan once did don, where is that shield of virtue now?
16250The draught-- for whom?
16250The draught?
16250The guest I sometime helped to nurse--?
16250The pennon?
16250The queen who grants unquailing hearts, the witch whose will the world obeys, life and death she holds in her hands, which of joy and woe are wove?
16250The rapture of night O let us feel it?
16250The ship-- is''t yet in sight?
16250The ship?
16250The tune so well known-- why wake to that?
16250The unexplained, unpenetrated cause of all these woes, who will to us disclose?
16250The wind so wild blows homewards now; my Irish child, where waitest thou?
16250There, that hero who from mine eyes averts his own: in shrinking shame my gaze he shuns-- Say, how hold you him?
16250These thy lips?
16250Think you that she who''d mastered those would have sent me o''er the sea, without assistance for thee?
16250Think you that she who''d mastered those would have sent thee o''er the sea without assistance for me?
16250Think''st highly of yon minion?
16250This my fathers''?
16250Those dangerous breakers ships have oft shattered.-- Who steereth the helm?
16250Those whom thou holdest, lapped in delight, how could e''en the boldest unmoved endure thy flight?
16250Thou hear''st the cry?
16250Thy wound was heavy: how to heal it?
16250Thy-- act?
16250Together, at least, let fade life''s enfeebled fire!-- How lifeless his look!-- still his heart!-- Dared he to deal me Buch a smart?
16250Tristan traitor, what hope stayeth that the honor he betrayeth should by Melot''s rede rest to me indeed?
16250Tristan, is warfare ended?
16250Tristan, my master, why mock me thus?
16250Tristan, to me?
16250Tristan, where art thou?
16250Tristan?
16250Trust I my wits?
16250What are those cries?
16250What awoke me?
16250What foreign land?
16250What hast thou sworn?
16250What is''t, Brangæna?
16250What king mean you?
16250What land?
16250What mean you, mistress?
16250What meanest thou?
16250What moves me to fear him makes thee his friend then?
16250What now?
16250What of the boat so bare and frail, that floated by our shore?
16250What of the broken stricken man, feebly extended there?
16250What secret dost thou hide?
16250What troubled dream Of Isolda''s shame?
16250What troubled dream of Tristan''s honor?
16250What want you here?
16250What was that draught?
16250What wight dares insult me?
16250What would my lady?
16250What wouldst thou wish to reply?
16250What''s this, my lady?
16250When will the house repose?
16250When wilt thou-- when, ah, when-- let the torchlight dwindle, that so my bliss may kindle?
16250Where Tristan now is going, wilt thou, Isolda, follow?
16250Where am I?
16250Where are we?
16250Where art thou?
16250Where is Isolda?
16250Where lives there a man would not love thee?
16250Where now are faith and friendship fair, when from the fount of faith, my Tristan, they are gone?
16250Where now has truth fled, if Tristan can betray?
16250Where-- was I?-- Where-- am I?
16250While knowing not what my demand is, wert thou afraid still to fulfil it, fleeing my presence thus?
16250Who comes?
16250Who could see Isolda And not sink at once into bondage blest?
16250Who is my foe?
16250Who-- calls me?
16250Whom mean''st thou?
16250Why could I not see this?
16250Why endure disgrace unhealed by tears or grief?
16250Why hast thou noble service done, and honor, fame and potent might amassed for Mark, thy king?
16250Why in hell must I bide, without hope of a heaven?
16250Wilt thou be true?
16250Wilt thou be true?
16250Wilt thou not heed?
16250With foes do you come?
16250Wouldst thou flee?
16250Yet do you hear?
16250deeming that horns thou hearest?
16250hails me the light?
16250how you came?
16250if their friendship all men do sell thee, what foe can seek to fell thee?
16250living?
16250loveless thou?
16250nor all her magic arts?
16250of Tristan?
16250the pennon?
16250truest of friends, must thou again be to thy king a traitor?
16250what mean''st thou?
16250when from my friends it flies, and Tristan''s honor dies?
16250why should I shun that land by which the world is spann''d?
4972Are you not coming sometime to St. Petersburg,said I to George Sand in the most polite tone,"where you are so much read, so highly admired?"
4972But Mendelssohn,the reader will say,"surely Chopin must have admired and felt in sympathy with this sweet- voiced, well- mannered musician?"
4972Do you believe?
4972Do you practise when the day of the concert approaches?
4972Doctor, would you take it amiss if I were to force your wife to do it?
4972How is''gravity''to clothe itself, if''jest''goes about in dark veils?
4972Not even George Sand then,she asked,"is a particular friend?"
4972Welcomed there in a very friendly manner, people asked me when I was introduced:''You are, I suppose, a brother of the pianist?'' 4972 Well,"replied Balzac,"what shall I do?
4972What do you read then? 4972 What do you say to it?"
4972What do you wish? 4972 Who is near me?"
4972Why do you play less well to- day?
4972Why? 4972 You see,"said the virtuoso rising,"that Liszt can be Chopin when he likes; but could Chopin be Liszt?"
4972You think so?
4972''And my duty?''
4972( 1824?)
4972( Bright sunshine?
4972--"25,000 francs?
4972--"Do you believe as your mother taught you?"
497220?
497257. published in May, 1845, or, lastly, is it simply a misprint?]
4972After the Andante the queen whispered to a lady- in- waiting:"Would it not be indiscreet to ask them to play it again?"
4972And George Sand?
4972And how did he play them?
4972And my servant, what is he doing?
4972And the health of Madame Franchomme and of the little children?
4972And was this expression of his inner life really"mysterious and vague"?
4972And what did the national poet dream and see in these dreams and visions?
4972And why did Chopin regard Mozart as the ideal type, the poet par excellence?
4972And, lastly, who are the pianist friends that were as devotedly attached to him as the most romantic of his aristocratic worshippers?
4972Are the roses at home still in their flame- hued pride?
4972Are we not now comrades?
4972Are you comfortable?
4972As soon as she appeared with her two charming daughters[ daughter and cousin?
4972As to the portier, he very likely tells lies, but who will prove it?
4972At a round table sat the queen with an elegant work- basket before her( perhaps to embroider a purse for me?
4972But are not Beethoven''s scherzos, too, misnamed?
4972But how did the composer himself describe it?
4972But how does the matter stand when there is genius on both sides, and self- sacrifice of either party entails loss to the world?
4972But how many years before this visit was it composed?
4972But is she really a woman?
4972But outsiders ask: How is it, then, that so great a virtuoso has not trained players who have made the world ring with their fame?
4972But supposing Chopin and George Sand to have really met at the Marquis de Custine''s, was this their first meeting?
4972But what is the use of carping at a name?
4972But what is this( the four bars before the tempo I.)?
4972But what shall I do?
4972But who would expect religious adherence to fact from Heine, who at all times distinguishes himself rather by wit than conscientiousness?
4972But why do you not write a word about yourself?
4972But, then, how could Chopin have composed on that occasion a Prelude included in a work the manuscript of which he sent away on the lath?
4972Chopin to Gutmann; Calder House, October 16, 1848( twelve miles from Edinburgh):-- Very dear friend,--What are you doing?
4972Chopin when applied to for his signature wrote:"La lettre venant des Allemands, comment voulez- vous que je m''arroge le droit de la signer?"
4972Could it possibly be Loch Lomond?
4972Could she not select something better than just this etude, the least interesting for those who do not know that it is written for the black keys?
4972Dark clouds?)
4972Did Dib dance in last night''s pantomime?
4972Did I happen to lend you Witwicki''s songs?
4972Did Miss Wieck play my Etude well?
4972Did fame and publications travel so slowly in the earlier part of the century?
4972Did not Chopin himself say to Hiller that he wished to be to his countrymen what Uhland was to the Germans?
4972Did you prepay when you sent them the letter?
4972Did you prepay?
4972Do the trees still sing as beautifully in the moonlight?
4972Do we not hear-- yea, and see too-- a high- spirited chivalry approaching and passing?
4972Do you board at the club?
4972Do you know how much Wessel paid him for them?
4972Do you not know that the hour for working has come?"
4972Does he agree to the transaction I proposed to him?
4972Does it not rather suggest a Titan in commotion?
4972Does the white- bearded sea- god still persecute her with his foolish, stale love?
4972Est- ce un chien qui vient d''aboyer?]
4972Gutmann asked what he intended to do?
4972Gutmann tells us that he had an early opportunity of making these observations, for Chopin visited his pupil the very day after his arrival(?
4972Had Chopin or her brother, or both, to do with this paroxysm of despair?
4972Had Chopin, when he left Paris, really in view the possibility of settling in London?
4972Had genius to wait so long for recognition?
4972Has a dog been barking?"
4972He ought to give me 300 francs for it, n''est- ce pas?
4972He was there, he was present at the triumph of his pupil, the anxious audience asked itself:"Shall we hear him?"
4972Heaven be thanked, they are all well; but why are they concerned about me?
4972Hereupon Rollinat asked him naively:--"Well, why, then, do you not set about it at once?"
4972How are you and your wife and the dear children?
4972How are your people, your country, your art?
4972How are your people?
4972How many days( between August 23 and September 7?)
4972How should I receive this precious soul so as to give it to God?
4972I saw Chopin every day; how, then, could I remain ignorant of it?"
4972I was with Chopin at the time the letter arrived, and he said to me,"They have only me, and should I close my door upon them?
4972In what state of mind are you?
4972Is Madame de Lauvergeat also at the sea- side?
4972Is it not possible that Chopin may have afterwards substituted the new Prelude for one of those already forwarded to France?
4972Is there not something pleonastic in the title"Fantaisie- Impromptu?"
4972Is this not like a shriek of despair?
4972It was evident that the money given to the portiere had not arrived at its destination; but how to be assured of this?
4972Keep your millions for me till another time-- is it not already too much to dispose of your time as I do?
4972Let him know that I have six new manuscripts, for which I want 300 francs each( how many pounds is that?).
4972Looked at from the musician''s point of view, how much do we not see that is novel and strange, and beautiful and fascinating withal?
4972No?
4972Now, how are you?
4972Now, what remains of this statement after subtracting prejudices and narrow- mindedness?
4972Now, what thoughts did Chopin''s playing call up in Heine?
4972On what floor, and how much do you pay?
4972Or are you so lazy?
4972Or must we assume that the man Moscheles was less congenial to Chopin than the artist?
4972Perhaps to pay his debts?
4972Seeing that so many of Chopin''s letters have been published with wrong dates, why not also that of January 12?
4972Shall I tell you how well founded this disgust was?
4972That is why I write you such a foolish letter, is it?
4972The air?
4972The latter came with an old friend, a Russian Capellmeister[ Soliva?].
4972The tender commencement of the second part is followed, as it were, by the several times repeated questions-- Yes?
4972They expected also to see me, in full dress, in the very middle of the choir; what not?
4972This is also the place to dispose of the question: What was done with Chopin''s MSS.?
4972To take liberties with another artist''s works and complain when another artist takes liberties with your own works is very inconsistent, is it not?
4972Was Chopin a good teacher?
4972Was Solange the chief subject of George Sand''s lamentations?
4972Was his attachment to the composer weaker than his attachment to his cash- box?]
4972Was it written first for the pianoforte and orchestra, as Schumann suspects?
4972Well, did she not come and fulfil her promise, or, at least, take leave of her friend of many years?
4972What Pole does not hate the Jews?
4972What can I do?
4972What had he not always feared on this terrain?
4972What is it to me if Schlesinger makes Probst pay dearer for my manuscripts?
4972What more would I not want if that were your fancy?
4972What name has been more misapplied than that of impromptu?
4972What other work of the composer could be pointed out exhibiting the like feature?
4972What shall I say?
4972What shall you do with my papers?
4972What was to be done?
4972Where are they?
4972While thus controverting the so- called vox Dei( are not popular opinions generally popular prejudices?)
4972Who can sound the sufferings proceeding from this contrast?
4972Who could retain everything?
4972Who sent them to me?
4972Who would suspect the composer''s fragility and sickliness in this work?
4972Why did he keep it in his portfolio?
4972Why have I not expressed an opinion on the moral aspect of Chopin''s connection with George Sand?
4972Why should he write?
4972With what do you occupy yourself generally?"
4972Would it be an honest action?
4972Would it not have been possible to live in retirement without drawing upon himself the accusation of supercilious hauteur?
4972Would the praise which is generally lavished upon her have been so enthusiastic if the lady had been a professional pianist instead of a princess?
4972You begin at last to become more tranquil,[ FOOTNOTE: This, I think, refers to some loss Franchomme had sustained in his family] do you not?
4972You have read the German letters, sealed them, and done everything I asked you, have you not?
4972[ 1827?]
4972[ Qu''est- ce?
4972a pupil of Liszt''s, an artist?"
4972and Madame Franchomme and her dear children?
4972and these 25,000 francs which were sent you lately?"
4972and what follows, bewildered efforts of a soul shut in by a wall of circumstances through which it strives in vain to break?
4972and what had become of it?
4972at last sinking down with fatigue, dreaming a dream of idyllic beauty?
4972but beginning the struggle again as soon as its strength is recruited?
4972replied Chopin, with a drawl, but in the politest tone,"what do you want me for then?
45806Catherine que j''adore, Pourquoi refuser A l''amant qui vous implore Un si doux baiser?...
45806Vous qui faites l''endormie, N''entendez- vous pas, O Catherine, ma mie, Ma voix et mes pas...?
45806Will you not permit me, my fairest demoiselle, To offer you my arm, and clear for you the way?
45806--Ne permettez- vous pas, ma belle demoiselle, Qu''on vous offre le bras pour faire le chemin?"
45806A moi leurs désirs?
45806A qui de vous dois- je demander compte De mon malheur et de ma honte?...
45806Abundance of gold?
45806Ah, Siebel, is it thou?
45806Allow me to offer you some from my cellar?
45806And Marguerite?
45806Are they wither''d?
45806Are you afraid of me?
45806Are you, then, Martha Schwerlein?
45806Avant d''écouter, Pourquoi vous hâter De vous mettre en route?
45806But come, Doctor Faust, what is your will?
45806But this God, what will he do for me?
45806But what is this?
45806C''est ici?
45806C''est là que cette enfant a grandi sous ton aile, A dormi sous tes yeux?
45806Can I be dreaming?
45806Can the accursed wizard''s words be true?
45806Comment m''y prendre?
45806D''où ce riche coffret peut- il venir?...
45806Dame Marthe Schwerlein?
45806Dare I to take his life, Who but resents an outrage?
45806Darest thou live, ingrate?
45806Darest thou still exist?
45806Dieu ne m''a t''il pas Conduit sur ta route?...
45806Do ye not like my singing?
45806Dois- je verser le sang Du frère que j''outrage?...
45806Eh bien?
45806Elles se fanent?...
45806Est- ce de plaisir et d''amour Que la feuille tremble et palpite?...
45806Est- ce déjà l''heure du châtiment?
45806Est- ce toi, Marguerite?
45806Est- ce toi, Marguerite?
45806Et Marguerite?
45806Fain would I his birth And station also know?
45806Fain would I know the name Of the fair youth I met?
45806Faut- il attester Qu''on voudrait rester Quand on vous écoute?
45806Faut- il qu''une fille á danser Vous invite?
45806From which of ye must I demand Satisfaction for this foul outrage?
45806From whom did this splendid casket come?
45806Hear''st thou their call?
45806How knew you her name?
45806I laugh, as I pass, to look into a glass; Is it truly Marguerite, then?
45806I laugh, as I pass, to look into a glass; Is it truly Marguerite, then?
45806I. Maiden, now in peace reposing, From thy sleep awake, Hear my voice with love imploring, Wilt thou pity take?
45806Is it you?
45806Is it you?
45806Je voudrais bien savoir quel était ce jeune homme, Si c''est un grand seigneur, et comment il se nomme?
45806Know''st thou not How happy''tis to love?
45806Me rendra- t''il l''amour, l''espérance et la foi?
45806Mon bouquet n''est- il pas charmant?
45806My bouquet is charming indeed?
45806Ne permettrez- vous pas, ma belle demoiselle, Qu''on vous offre le bras pour faire le chemin?
45806Ne suis- je pas mis à ta guise?
45806Ne veux- tu pas Aux plus belles D''entre elles Offrir ton bras?
45806Nous ferez vous l''honneur de trinquer avec nous?
45806O coupe des aïeux, qui tant fois fus pleine, Pourquoi trembles- tu dans ma main?...
45806O goblet, which my ancestors So many times have filled, Why tremblest thou in my grasp?
45806O mort, quand viendras- tu m''abriter sous ton aile?
45806Of what now are you thinking?
45806Or am I really awake?
45806Or was''t mere witchcraft?
45806Parle, voyons!...--Te fais- je peur?
45806Plait- il?
45806Pour fêter l''infâme idole, Peuples et rois confondus, Au bruit sombre des écus Dansent une ronde folle Autour de son piédestal?...
45806Pourquoi donc quitter ces bijoux?
45806Pray seek you a partner to join in the dance?
45806Qu''as- tu donc?
45806Qu''attendez- vous de moi?
45806Que faut- il pour te décider?
45806Que me veux- tu?...
45806Que ne serait heureux d''échanger avec vous La bague d''hyménée?
45806Que vois- je là?
45806Quelle mouche vous pique?
45806Qui de vous deux doit tomber sous mes coups?...
45806Qui vous a dit son nom?
45806Religieux._ Que dirai- je alors au Seigneur?
45806Say, Doctor, what would you of me?
45806See you this line?
45806Sent he nothing else to me?
45806Si je trempais mes doigts dans l''eau bénite?...
45806Since death thus evades me, Why should I not go in search of him?
45806So, I surprise you?
45806Tell me, I pray, are you Martha Schwerlein?
45806Tu veux la gloire?
45806Vous l''aimez encore?
45806Vous n''aimez donc pas la musique?
45806Vous voyez cette ligne?
45806Vous voyez qu''elle a fait bel accueil aux bijoux?
45806What is it?
45806What say you?
45806What utters she in tones subdued?
45806What''s to be done?
45806What, here again, dear boy?
45806Whence this dire trepidation?
45806Wherefore lay aside these jewels?
45806Which of ye must I now slay?
45806Who gave to you these jewels?
45806Who shall protection find When innocence such persecution meets?
45806Who would not gladly unto You present the wedding- ring?
45806Why do you tremble so, you who menace me?
45806Why falters now my courage?
45806Why fear''st thou to listen?
45806Why tarry, then?
45806Why this sorrowful farewell?
45806Why, what has happened?
45806Why, what has happened?
45806Will he return to me youth, love, and faith?
45806Will you honor us by partaking of wine?
45806Will you not ask of them To accept you?
45806Will you not permit me, my fairest demoiselle, To offer you my arm, and clear for you the way?
45806With what shall we begin?
45806Would you kick me out the very same day?
45806You think so?
45806_ Faust._ Ah, cruel one, would''st fly?
45806_ Faust._ And what can I do with riches?
45806_ Faust._ Art always thus alone?
45806_ Faust._ Et que peux- tu pour moi?
45806_ Faust._ Je la reverrai?
45806_ Faust._ Là- bas?...
45806_ Faust._ Où se cache la belle enfant Que ton art m''a fait voir?--Est- ce un vain sortilège?
45806_ Faust._ Qu''est se donc?
45806_ Faust._ Qu''importe?
45806_ Faust._ Quand?
45806_ Faust._ Que ferais- je de la richesse?
45806_ Faust._ Que regardes- tu là?
45806_ Faust._ Say, shall I again behold her?
45806_ Faust._ Siebel?
45806_ Faust._ Then what will you do for me?
45806_ Faust._ What fear is this unnerves my arm?
45806_ Faust._ What is it thou doest?
45806_ Faust._ What is''t she says?
45806_ Faust._ When?
45806_ Faust._ Where bides the beauteous maid Thine art did show to me?
45806_ Faust._ Whom dost thou see?
45806_ Faust._ Would''st thou have me leave thee?
45806_ Faust._ You overheard us?
45806_ Mar._ Pourquoi ce regard menaçant?
45806_ Mar._ Pourquoi ces mains rouges de sang?
45806_ Mar._ Qu''est ce donc?
45806_ Mar._ Qui donc?
45806_ Mar._ Qui m''appelle?
45806_ Mar._ See''st thou yon demon crouching in the shade?
45806_ Mar._ Who calls me?
45806_ Mar._ Whose life?
45806_ Mar._ Why that glance with anger fraught?
45806_ Mar._ Why, what has happened?
45806_ Mart._ Ainsi vous voyagez toujours?
45806_ Mart._ Qui m''appelle?
45806_ Mart._ Why so?
45806_ Mep._ A quoi bon la revoir, après l''avoir quitté?
45806_ Mep._ Dame Marthe Schwerlein, s''il vous plait?
45806_ Mep._ Do you doubt my power?
45806_ Mep._ Doutes- tu ma puissance?...
45806_ Mep._ Pourquoi trembler, vous qui me menacez?
45806_ Mep._ Qu''attendez- vous encore?
45806_ Mep._ Tout.--Mais dis- moi d''abord Ce que tu veux;--est- ce de l''or?
45806_ Mep._ Well, how do you like it?
45806_ Mep._ What scruple now assails thee?
45806_ Mep._ Why see her again, then, after leaving her?
45806_ Mep._ Why tarry ye?
45806_ Mep._( to VALENTINE) Why this anger?
45806_ Religious Cho._ What shall we say unto high heav''n?
45806_ Sie._ Dost love him still, then?
45806_ Sie._ Faut- il que je le nomme?
45806_ Sie._ I?
45806_ Sie._ Need I name him?
45806_ Sie._ Vous êtes donc sorcier?
45806_ Val._ Good sir, what want you here?
45806_ Val._ Pourquoi?...--tu détournes la tête?
45806_ Val._ Que veux- tu dire?
45806_ Val._ Que voulez- vous, messieurs?
45806_ Val._ What mean''st thou?
45806_ Val._ Why not, I pray?--Thou turn''st away; Thy silent glance doth seek the ground-- Speak, Siebel-- what hath happened?
45806_ Wag._ Eh bien?
45806_ Wag._ Hein?
45806_ Wag._ Qu''as- tu donc?...
45806_ Wag._ What sayst thou?
45806at the bottom of the casket is a glass: I there can see myself!-- But am I not becoming vain?
45806but what must I give in return?
45806comme vous voilà belle, Mon ange!...--D''où vous vient ce riche écrin?
45806comment N''être pas coquette?
45806comprends- tu ce mot sublime et doux?...
45806d''écouter?...
45806daignez m''attendre ici?
45806does thy hand tremble?
45806je puis contenter ton caprice_ Faust._ Et que te donnerai- je en retour?
45806le démon!--Le vois- tu?...
45806leave we this spot, The dawn hath appeared; Hear''st thou not the fiery chargers, As with sonorous hoof they paw the ground?
45806of Maidens._ Why thy eyes so lustrous Hidest thou from sight?
45806par où commencerai- je?
45806puisque la mort me fuit, Pourquoi n''irais- je pas vers elle?...
45806que t''ensemble?
45806quelle est cette voix qui me parle dans l''ombre?
45806quels regrets attristent nos adieux?
45806see''st thou not my grief?
45806taisez- vous?...
45806toujours seule?...
45806what can I do?
45806what is''t I see?
45806what voice is this That in the shade doth speak to me?
45806when will thy dusky wings Above me hover and give me-- rest?
48214ALBERICH Do I spoil sport By standing and gazing here?
48214ALBERICH Dost thou believe I lie, as would Loge?
48214ALBERICH Has the gold no value Apart from your games?
48214ALBERICH How capture this coy, Elusive fish?
48214ALBERICH Seest thou the hoard Yonder heaped High by my host?
48214ALBERICH Then why this delay To show thy work?
48214ALBERICH What is there to finish?
48214ALBERICH What says he?
48214ALBERICH[_ Horrified._ The ring?
48214ALBERICH[_ Raising himself with furious laughter._ Am I now free, Free in truth?
48214ALBERICH[_ Reaching the topwith a last spring._ Still undismayed?
48214ALBERICH[_ Starting in alarm._ Wretches, dare ye thus scoff?
48214ALBERICH[_ Turning round._ What?
48214Ah, can it be so?
48214Ah, have I lost her?
48214All stand in dismay and apprehension regarding Wotan, whose eyes are fixed broodingly on the ground._ LOGE Does a mist mock me?
48214And why frets Fricka?
48214Are the others all there?
48214Art thou content?
48214Art thou still here, Fervently loved one, Beautiful brother?
48214As if coming out of a deep reverie, he at last begins, very softly._ What if, when uttered, Weaker it made The controlling might of my will?
48214BRÜNNHILDE All that thou gavest Thou dost recall?
48214BRÜNNHILDE And what is the doom That I must suffer?
48214BRÜNNHILDE I know thee not thus: What gnaws at thy heart?
48214BRÜNNHILDE Of victory wouldst Siegmund deprive?
48214BRÜNNHILDE Which of you, sisters, Eastward has journeyed?
48214BRÜNNHILDE[_ Greatly terrified._ Thou dost cast me off?
48214BRÜNNHILDE[_ Very softly._ To Wotan''s will thou speakest When thou speakest to me?
48214Beckon they not, The stately walls, Waiting to offer Welcome kind to their lord?
48214But say, Loge, How shall I learn To forge and fashion it true?
48214By what misdeed have thy daughters Vexed and provoked thee To terrible wrath?
48214Can he be sick?
48214Can ye not see The gold is all gone?
48214Canst thou deny That thy cunning it was Which led him where it lay hid?
48214Couldest thou turn To something quite tiny As well as bigger?
48214DONNER[_ Confronting the giants._ Fasolt and Fafner, Have ye not felt With what weight my hammer falls?
48214Daunted so soon?
48214Deem ye Holda Worthy of such a price?
48214Didst thou call?
48214Does Wotan now pledge me his oath?
48214Dost thou not hear?
48214Dost thou not hear?
48214Dost thou not hear?
48214Dost thou, child, know my wrath?
48214FAFNER What means thy threat?
48214FASOLT Jeerest thou?
48214FASOLT What wouldst thou here?
48214FASOLT_ Stands for a space speechless with angry surprise._ What is this?
48214FLOSSHILDE What ails thee, dwarf?
48214FLOSSHILDE Who listens below?
48214FREIA Where tarry ye, my brothers, When help ye should bring me, Weak and bartered away by my kin?
48214FRICKA Ah, dare I hope it?
48214FRICKA Can such be thy thought, Merciless man?
48214FRICKA Thou wilt grant him no aid, When to arms the avenger calls?
48214FRICKA To this tricky deceiver O why wilt thou trust?
48214FRICKA What means the name Valhall?
48214FRICKA Who breathed their souls into men?
48214FRICKA[_ Anxiously to Wotan._ Dost bring joyful tidings?
48214FRICKA[_ Caressing and coaxing him._ Why linger, Wotan?
48214FRICKA[_ Softly to Loge._ Could this gaud, This gleaming trinket Forged from the gold, Be worn by a woman too?
48214FRICKA[_ With a burst of deep indignation._ Then nothing to thee Are the gods everlasting Since the wild Wälsungs Won thee for father?
48214Faint- hearted wooer, Why couldst not hold The maid, when won, more fast?
48214Faints he from weariness?
48214Father, what news Hast thou to tell me?
48214Find thou a sweetheart Fonder than I?
48214Floutest thou me?
48214Flying from him?
48214Fool, dost now see the trick?
48214For love art thou pining?
48214Froh and Fricka throw themselves in his way and prevent him._ FRICKA What meanest thou, madman?
48214From off the field Who bade thee thus bear me?
48214GERHILDE Where found she the maid?
48214Give my ring?
48214Gossiping art With the pilgriming pair?
48214HUNDING Hast succoured him?
48214Hast thou forgot so soon?
48214Hast thou not heard That one alone Can hope to fashion the gold?
48214Have ye enough now?
48214Hearest, Brünnhilde?
48214Hearing my voice thus accusing, Dost hide from me in terror, A coward who shirks her doom?
48214Heedless one, hast thou forgotten The price that was to be paid?
48214How could that be Thine which reft was, Thou rogue, from watery deeps?
48214How far hast thou ranged and roamed?
48214How fashion the free one By me unshielded, In his proud defiance Most precious to me?
48214How get me the other Who, not through me, But of himself Will perform my will?
48214How keepest thou watch?
48214How small shall I be?
48214I speak plainly-- Is that thy thought?
48214If love be beyond me My cunning could compass delight?
48214In caverns cold Where once thou didst crouch, Who gave thee light And fire for thy comfort, Had Loge not smiled on thee?
48214In parlous plight myself, What help have I for others?
48214Is he in sight?
48214Is it the look That lingered behind, Yonder clinging, When forth from the hall The lovely woman went?
48214Is this your valour, Given by me?
48214LOGE And wherefore, wise one, Sped not the plan?
48214LOGE But, Mime, how has he Thus made thee his thrall?
48214LOGE Even the helm?
48214LOGE Just now, then, an idler Roused him to wrath?
48214LOGE Since I am known, Ignorant elf, Say then, with growling Whom dost thou greet?
48214LOGE The Rhine- daughters Thy aid invoked: Not vainly they hoped for thy help then?
48214LOGE[_ Bends over Mime._ Why all this whimpering noise?
48214LOGE[_ Calling down towards the valley._ Ye in the water, Why wail ye to us?
48214LOGE[_ To Wotan._ Ought I to free him?
48214Lingering there?
48214Live ye on lies Alone, O ye false nixie brood?
48214Loitering still?
48214MIME[_ Embarrassed._ Here-- and there---- ALBERICH How here and there?
48214MIME[_ Looks round in amaze._ Where art thou?
48214MIME[_ Observes the Gods more attentively._ Who are you, ye strangers That ask all these questions?
48214Mark ye my word?
48214May I ask of my guest In return to tell me his name?
48214Measure must thou?
48214Must I aid, idlers?
48214Must thou no longer Gallop beside me, Nor bring me mead at banquet?
48214Need ye my urging?
48214ORTLINDE What lies on her saddle?
48214Or what hadst thou fashioned Had not I heated thy forge?
48214Precious only is she?
48214Pursued by Warfather?
48214ROSSWEISSE If we all are assembled Why linger longer?
48214SCHWERTLEITE Has she no greeting For her sisters?
48214SCHWERTLEITE Went ye twain on one quest?
48214SIEGLINDE But tell me further, stranger: Where dwells thy father now?
48214SIEGLINDE Say, whither shall my flight be?
48214SIEGLINDE The name of thy father was Wölfe?
48214SIEGLINDE Who pursues thee so close at thy heels?
48214SIEGMUND In Walhall''s hall Wotan alone shall I find?
48214SIEGMUND Knowest this sword?
48214SIEGMUND What hero to- day Shall hew me down?
48214SIEGMUND''S VOICE[_ From farther back in the gorge._ Where hidest thou, That I have missed thee thus?
48214SIEGMUND[_ Joyfully surprised._ Who steals this way?
48214SIEGMUND[_ Looking up at her._ Who art thou, say, That dost stand so fair and so stern?
48214SIEGMUND[_ Regarding Hunding firmly and calmly._ Drink she gave, Shelter too: Wouldst therefore chide the woman?
48214SIEGMUND[_ Tenderly._ Will any woman Welcome me there?
48214SIEGRUNE Wouldst have us too Madly rebel?
48214Sawest thou Loge?
48214Say, how wouldst thou save thyself then?
48214Sees she with sorrow That Wotan''s hair, growing grey, Has made him gloomy and old?
48214Shall I be Despised by the basest, To the lawless a spur, A scoff to the free?
48214Shall I never more Give thee love''s greeting?
48214Shall the maiden droop And be withered by man?
48214Shall we dive Sheer through the depths of the Rhine?
48214Sieglinde comes out in a white garment and advances softly but quickly towards the hearth._ SIEGLINDE Art asleep?
48214Siegmund, where art thou?
48214Sister embraced As bride by the brother-- Who has ever heard Of brother and sister as lovers?
48214THE THREE RHINE- MAIDENS What wouldst thou below there?
48214THE THREE RHINE- MAIDENS Where dost thou hail from, O churl, Of the Rhinegold not to have heard?
48214THE VALKYRIES What threatens the woman?
48214THE VALKYRIES Whence rodest thou hither, Hasting so hard?
48214THE VALKYRIES[_ Terribly alarmed._ Hast thou gone crazy?
48214Taunts?
48214Tell me what ails thee?
48214Tell me what ails thee?
48214Tell me what ails thee?
48214Tell the truth; Whence was gotten the gold To fashion the glittering gaud?
48214The Valkyries, horror- stricken, recoil from her violently._ Fear ye her fate?
48214The beautiful Goddess Light and bright-- For churls what charm could she have?
48214The horse that is swiftest Which of you lends, That forth the woman may fly?
48214The sister and bride, Shall she follow the brother?
48214The thick mist in the foreground gradually clears away._ LOGE Hadst thou ears For his fond farewell?
48214The third one, so dear, Does she too betray?
48214The work is finished, And forfeit the pledge: Hast thou then no care for the cost?
48214Tricks me a dream?
48214WALTRAUTE[_ Calling towards the wood._ Who hangs at thy saddle?
48214WELLGUNDE Art thou in love?
48214WELLGUNDE He wishes to join us?
48214WELLGUNDE Knows not the elf Of the famed eye golden That wakes and sleeps in turn?
48214WELLGUNDE O prudent sister, Why chide and reproach?
48214WELLGUNDE[_ From above._ Woglinde, watchest alone?
48214WELLGUNDE[_ Sinking down till she is a little nearer him._ Well, now am I near?
48214WOGLINDE Is he in jest?
48214WOGLINDE Of the star resplendent Down in the depths Whose light illumines the waves?
48214WOTAN A golden ring Girdles thy finger: Hearest, elf?
48214WOTAN And yet thou didst dare To shield him, knowing''twas so?
48214WOTAN But what is gained by the hoard In joyless Nibelheim, Where wealth finds nothing to buy?
48214WOTAN But, my friend, how compass that goal?
48214WOTAN By my command Didst thou fight for the Walsung?
48214WOTAN Fools, would ye flout me?
48214WOTAN Have this pair then Done such harm, Whom spring united in love?
48214WOTAN Have ye not heard Wotan''s decree?
48214WOTAN The ring thou claimest as thine?
48214WOTAN The river- maidens?
48214WOTAN The sword?
48214WOTAN Then his own heart''s courage Counts not at all?
48214WOTAN What nonsense is this?
48214WOTAN What wailing sound do I hear?
48214WOTAN What woman woe thus foretells?
48214WOTAN Wilt yield up the hoard?
48214WOTAN[_ Calmly._ From such greed Was Fricka then free Herself when the castle she craved?
48214WOTAN[_ Gloomily._ What then wouldst thou?
48214Was the dishonour Truly so deep That it must rob me of honour for aye?
48214Was what I did So base and so vile That I must suffer abasement so low?
48214We never were idle, So why shouldst thou fear?
48214What a thief stole Steal thou from the thief; How better could object be won?
48214What ails the high, happy Gods?
48214What am I If I am not thy will?
48214What corner, say, Wilt give to me for my stall?
48214What deed by hero Could be accomplished That was beyond the strength of the gods, By whose grace alone he is strong?
48214What does it mean?
48214What has occurred?
48214What keeps thee so long?
48214What payment will appease you?
48214What profit were mine?
48214What remains holy Or precious to men Once grown greedy of might?
48214What she desires Is also my choice, For what does my own will profit, Since it can not fashion a free one?
48214What thy spear wards Are they but sport, All the runes of solemn bargain?
48214What wondrous gift has the gold, That the dwarf desires it so?
48214What?
48214Where are thy wounds?
48214Where is the guilty one?
48214Where is thy sword?-- The trusty sword To be swung in battle, When from my bosom should burst The fury that fills my heart?
48214Who are they That thus intrude?
48214Who art thou-- who but the choiceless, Blind slave of my will?
48214Who beats and bullies thee so?
48214Who entered there?
48214Who is there?
48214Who lies on the ground?
48214Who opened their eyes, that they see?
48214Who soothes and comforts me so?
48214Why did I try To trick myself vainly?
48214Will Siegmund find Sieglinde there?
48214With what I possess not How can I, shameless ones, pay you?
48214Would ye defy me And hide the rebel?
48214Wouldest deceive?-- Go back on thy bond?
48214Wouldst thou deceive me Who, day and night, At thy heels follow close?
48214Wouldst thou not have me Curse thee for flying?
48214Wouldst thou, robber, Reproach in me The sin so sweet to thyself?
48214Ye scoffers, Are ye convinced?
48214[_ After a pause._ Art thou Wehwalt in truth?
48214[_ Beside himself._ While her sweet eyes I behold thus, From the woman how can I part?
48214[_ Coming nearer._ What man came in And lies on the hearth?

5307Comment le dernier? 5307 Do you know whether Mozart has not enough from his family to enable him to remain here with a little assistance?
5307Do you know,said she,"that I mean to be very attentive to- day?"
5307Est- ce que vous etiez au Concert Spirituel?
5307From whom did you learn?
5307How so? 5307 I hope you will stay and dine with us to- day?"
5307I say,rejoined he,"I suppose I may, if need be, leave out the spur?"
5307I? 5307 If I can be of any service to you, I beg"--"Before I leave this I must take the liberty to ask you"--"Not for money?"
5307Is the letter ready?
5307May I then rely on this?
5307Que dites- vous du premier coup d''archet? 5307 So you have finally left Salzburg?"
5307Well, perhaps I may; why not?
5307What air do you mean?
5307What may it have cost? 5307 Why not?"
5307Why? 5307 Yes, but what does that avail when there is no vacancy?"
5307''Is it possible?''
530768] being made prelate?
5307A long pause; at length,"A propos, are you disposed to write a grand symphony for me for Corpus Christi day?"
5307A propos, Herr Johannes[ Hagenauer], no doubt, received the letter of congratulation which we intended to write to him?
5307A propos, did you give my letter to Robinsiegerl?
5307A propos, how goes on the Archbishop?
5307A propos, how goes on your French?
5307A. propos, what do you mean by DREAMS OF PLEASURE?
5307Already?
5307And the noble Herr Carl von Vogt, does he still deign to listen to your tiresome voices?
5307And why did he say all this?
5307Approposito, do you know the history that occurred here?
5307Are they good likenesses?
5307As I was going into the house I met Madame Niesser, the actress, just coming out, who said,"I suppose you wish to see the Count?"
5307As this important step is finally taken, ought I at this moment to set off?
5307At last he said,"Do you think that she will be able to learn it?"
5307At night I hear perpetual shouts of"Who goes there?"
5307But at last I have the honor to inquire how you are, and how you fare?
5307But how can it be otherwise?
5307But is this genuine music?
5307But what avails any discussion?
5307But where, at present, is even ONE to be found?
5307But why do you write at night, and without spectacles?
5307But your father is still in Salzburg?"
5307By the by, can you recall the name of Freysingen-- the papa of the two pretty girls I mentioned?
5307Can any one be considered a boy who is married?
5307Can this be the kind, worthy Baron Hopfgarten whom we knew at Paris with Herr von Bose?
5307Could such a thing be possible?
5307Count Seeau went by, and greeted me very kindly:"How are you, dear Mozart?"
5307Did he go about on foot in Salzburg, or always drive in a carriage, as he does here?
5307Do people go to see them?
5307Do they give satisfaction?
5307Do you know why I am thinking about the canary?
5307Do you not miss me at all?
5307Do you pay extra for leave to do so?
5307Do you remain here, or go to Mannheim?"
5307Do you understand?
5307Does Herr Deibl often come to see you?
5307Does Herr Feiner play the English horn?
5307Does he still honor you by his amusing conversation?
5307Does he still sing?
5307Fair maiden, say, where have you been, eh?"
5307For Heaven''s sake tell me, do you really think that I can at once fix a day for my journey; or is it your belief that I do n''t mean to come at all?
5307For whom is it to please?
5307From their being short?
5307From their church style?
5307Giovanni Hagenauer da parte mia, che non dubiti, che andro a veder sicuramente in quella bottega delle armi, se ci sono quei nomi[?]
5307Happily this seems equally tedious to himself, so it does not last long; but then, what follows?
5307Has Schikaneder still good receipts?
5307Have I not then sufficient cause to stay here and await the result?
5307Have you any answer yet from our plenipotentiary at Wetzlar?
5307He deigned graciously to remember you, and said,"And pray how have things gone with him?"
5307He is the leader of the choir at St. Peter''s, in Salzburg, and knows you very well; his name is Zendorff; perhaps you may not remember him?
5307He said to me,"I hear you wrote an opera at Munich"["La finta Giardiniera"]?
5307He said,"I must reflect on your wish; how long do you intend to remain here?"
5307He smiled, and said,"I should also like it; but would it not be prejudicial to her to have two masters?"
5307He stared at me for some time, and at last said,"You surely are Herr Mozart?"
5307He took the letter and was about to break the seal instantly, but I gave him no time for that, saying,"What is the use of reading the letter just now?
5307He was asked by a Frenchman, in Munich or elsewhere,--"Monsieur, vous avez ete a Paris?"
5307How can I help the clock choosing at this moment to strike a quarter after seven o''clock?
5307How can you suppose that I would stay here without good cause?
5307How do I like Mannheim?
5307How do the comedians please at Salzburg?
5307How does Probst get on with his wife?
5307How does papa like this idea?
5307How is Miss Bimbles?
5307How is it likely to turn out?
5307I beg you will not think so, for how could I write so beautifully if I were dead?
5307I could not understand this, as wine is usually thought heating; but when I said so, every one exclaimed,"How can you say so?
5307I do not wish to give up dreaming, for what mortal on the whole compass of the earth does not often dream?
5307I have, indeed, suffered and wept, but what did it avail?
5307I hear that the two Barisanis are also coming to Munich; is this true?
5307I hope the affair is not by this time known all over Salzburg?
5307I instantly rejoined,"and I hope things have also gone well with you?"
5307I kiss mamma''s hand, and send you a little note and a little kiss; and remain, as before, your----What?
5307I kiss your hands a thousand times, and have a great deal to say to my sister; but what?
5307I kissed the Elector''s hand, who said,"I think it is now fifteen years since you were here?"
5307I know, and, believe me, deeply feel, how much you deserve rest and peace, but am I the obstacle to this?
5307I only said in reply,"Do you then think, Herr Stein, that I am likely to run wild on the organ?"
5307I really could not help laughing:"What could I do at Mannheim now?
5307I see a number of wretched bunglers who make a livelihood, and why, with my talents, am I to fail?
5307I shall not be found wanting; how can you possibly doubt me?
5307I think I have left my diplomas at home?
5307I took no notice, but said to Le Gros,"A propos, have you given my sinfonie to be copied?"
5307I would have been off long ago, but every one says to me,"Where do you intend to go for the winter?
5307If I am sometimes in your mind?
5307If I engaged an orchestra, it would with the lighting cost me more than three louis- d''or, and who knows whether we shall get as much?
5307If I recollect rightly, there are also some cadenzas which I once jotted down, and at all events an aria cantabile with coloraturas?
5307If to hang yourself you''re inclined?
5307If we do leave this, we shall go straight to-- where?
5307If we soon shall have a talk?
5307If you write with a lump of chalk?
5307If you''re angry with me, poor fool?
5307In my opinion the second is preferable to the first; for when I heard the former, I asked,"Who is that playing on the organ?"
5307In rapid playing the right and left hands may be changed, and no one either see or hear it; but is this good?
5307Is Herr Schikaneder to remain in Salzburg?
5307Is he afraid of losing them?
5307Is it not friendly?
5307Is it not so, Herr Bullinger?
5307Is it possible that I did not tell you this?
5307Is it true that Hagenauer is become a professor of sculpture in Vienna?
5307Is it true that the Archbishop intends to come to Munich?
5307Is it true that the Emperor is ill?
5307Is my sister''s begun yet?
5307Is not that dear?
5307Is there no ass- eared old periwig, no dunderhead forthcoming, to restore the concern to its former disabled condition?
5307It is always satisfactory to explain a thing distinctly, and the arias of Esopus are, I suppose, still lying on the table?
5307It just occurs to me that you already know this; but what am I to do?
5307It seems that I have enemies here also; where have I not had them?
5307Josepha-- I mean the youngest, and pray why not?
5307Keiserin?
5307M. Grimm recently said to me,"What am I to write to your father?
5307MADEMOISELLE, MA TRES- CHERE COUSINE,-- You perhaps think or believe that I must be dead?
5307Maidli, lass Da saga, wo list dan gwesa he?
5307Mamma:"Well, where is it?"
5307May I soon write you a French letter?
5307Mozart?"
5307My dear sister, to- morrow we dine with Herr von Mayer; and do you know why?
5307My kind friend, how can I sufficiently thank you?
5307N. B., have not you a horror of the very name of Paris?
5307Next Wednesday I set off, and do you know how I travel?
5307Now let the matter rest as it is, or as it may be, what avail useless speculations?
5307Now, what is to be deduced from that?
5307One thing I very much regret, which is that I can not give you house- room, because I am not at an hotel, but am living with-- whom do you think?
5307Ought not I to accept it if they are in earnest?
5307Perhaps you may laugh at this?
5307Pray, what do you hear about the war?
5307Rose( who was in the third room from us, busy with the linen) had finished, she came in and said to me,"Do you wish me to begin now?"
5307Some days after, when he saw me, he said with a sneer,"Well, did you discover anything very fine-- did you learn anything from it?
5307Surely you can not have got my letters from there?
5307Tell me how Master Canary is?
5307The Count then said to me,"I hear that you play the piano very tolerably?"
5307The Elector asked him,"Did you really compose these?"
5307The Munich company of comedians are, I conclude, now acting?
5307There is no theatre, no opera there; and if they really wished to have one, who is there to sing?
5307They are indeed taking a certain powder-- how do I know what?
5307This seems incredible, does it not?
5307This sounds rather oracular, does it not?
5307To whom?
5307WHY have I not as yet written anything about Misliweczeck?
5307We dine at a restaurateur''s, after dinner I write, and then we go out again, and afterwards sup, but on what?
5307We were going home straight from Count Firmiani''s, and when we came into our street we opened our door, and what do you think happened?
5307Weep, weep, as you can not fail to weep, but take comfort at last; remember that God Almighty has ordained it, and how can we rebel against Him?
5307Well, instead of remaining NOT BAD, no doubt it soon becomes good?
5307Were you very merry during the Carnival?
5307What are the words?"
5307What can I wish for more?"
5307What course do you intend to pursue?
5307What do you mean?--Why?"
5307What do you think was the first piece after the symphony?
5307What does it matter if he does not answer you?
5307What kind of mask did Madame Rosa wear, and Herr von Molk, and Herr von Schiedenhofen?
5307What means this?
5307What merit is there in this?
5307What of the family portraits?
5307What of the family portraits?
5307What other cause could I possibly have?
5307What other resource have we to make us calm?
5307When the Elector came up to me, I said,"Will your Royal Highness permit me to pay my homage and to offer your Royal Highness my services?"
5307When the other began, I said,"Who may that be?"
5307Who can tell whether he may not please?
5307Who can tell?
5307Who does not know the varied riches of Mozart''s life?
5307Who knows?
5307Who knows?
5307Who would not feel happy to have completed such a great and laborious work-- and completed it, too, with honor and renown?
5307Why are we still here?
5307Why did we go direct to Mannheim?
5307Why is a great opera never intrusted to a Frenchman?
5307Why is it always given to a foreigner?
5307Why must I be so brief?
5307Why not?
5307Why were they so improvident as to allow Misliweczeck to give them the slip, and he so near too?
5307Why were we fourteen days in Augsburg?
5307Why, then, did I not laugh at her in my letter to you?
5307Why, to Heckmann-- a charming man, is he not?
5307Why?
5307Why?
5307Why?
5307Why?
5307Why?
5307Wish Herr von Heffner a happy journey from me, and ask him if he has seen Annamindl?
5307Would you like to know how I was received by him?
5307You desire to have a faithful portrait of Rothfischer?
5307You do not write to me how Herr Esser accompanied my sonatas-- ill, or well?
5307You probably know that the worthy musico Marquesi, the Marquessius di Milano, has been poisoned in Naples, but how?
5307You say I ought to have practised with her?
5307You think she put off being bled too long?
5307You write that you have heard nothing for a very long time of my pupil in composition; very true, but what can I say about her?

4973A great honour for me, is it not?
4973And have heard him speak?
4973And you have heard him?
4973And you know him?
4973Are you not coming sometime to St. Petersburg,said I to George Sand in the most polite tone,"where you are so much read, so highly admired?"
4973But Mendelssohn,the reader will say,"surely Chopin must have admired and felt in sympathy with this sweet- voiced, well- mannered musician?"
4973Do you believe?
4973Do you practise when the day of the concert approaches?
4973Doctor, would you take it amiss if I were to force your wife to do it?
4973How is''gravity''to clothe itself, if''jest''goes about in dark veils?
4973Not even George Sand then,she asked,"is a particular friend?"
4973Oui, n''est- ce pas? 4973 Welcomed there in a very friendly manner, people asked me when I was introduced:''You are, I suppose, a brother of the pianist?''
4973Well,replied Balzac,"what shall I do?
4973What do you read then? 4973 What do you say to it?"
4973What do you wish? 4973 Who is near me?"
4973Why do you play less well to- day?
4973Why? 4973 You see,"said the virtuoso rising,"that Liszt can be Chopin when he likes; but could Chopin be Liszt?"
4973You think so?
4973''And my duty?''
4973( 1824?)
4973( Bright sunshine?
4973--"25,000 francs?
4973--"Do you believe as your mother taught you?"
4973--"Et Liszt?"
497320?
497322 or another work?
497357. published in May, 1845, or, lastly, is it simply a misprint?]
4973After the Andante the queen whispered to a lady- in- waiting:"Would it not be indiscreet to ask them to play it again?"
4973All the romances of my brain disappear?
4973And George Sand?
4973And are not the names of Poland''s most popular heroes, Sobieski and Kosciuszko, household words all the world over?
4973And even though the evidence of deeds were wanting, have we not that of her words and opinions as set forth in her works?
4973And has he forgotten his ideal?
4973And how did he play them?
4973And how long was Spohr known as an excellent violinist before he had written Faust, Jessonda, and other works?
4973And my servant, what is he doing?
4973And poor Berton?
4973And the health of Madame Franchomme and of the little children?
4973And was this expression of his inner life really"mysterious and vague"?
4973And what did the national poet dream and see in these dreams and visions?
4973And why did Chopin regard Mozart as the ideal type, the poet par excellence?
4973And, lastly, who are the pianist friends that were as devotedly attached to him as the most romantic of his aristocratic worshippers?
4973Are genius, greatness, and fame the measures of trustworthiness?
4973Are the roses at home still in their flame- hued pride?
4973Are we not now comrades?
4973Are you comfortable?
4973As soon as she appeared with her two charming daughters[ daughter and cousin?
4973As to the portier, he very likely tells lies, but who will prove it?
4973At a round table sat the queen with an elegant work- basket before her( perhaps to embroider a purse for me?
4973But are not Beethoven''s scherzos, too, misnamed?
4973But be their shortcomings ever so great and many, who would dispense with these works?
4973But do we not all rather yearn for what we have not than enjoy what we have?
4973But how can a conscientious biographer help this ungraciousness and inaccommodativeness?
4973But how did the composer himself describe it?
4973But how does the matter stand when there is genius on both sides, and self- sacrifice of either party entails loss to the world?
4973But how many years before this visit was it composed?
4973But is she really a woman?
4973But outsiders ask: How is it, then, that so great a virtuoso has not trained players who have made the world ring with their fame?
4973But seeing that Chopin evolved so much, why should he not also have evolved this?
4973But supposing Chopin and George Sand to have really met at the Marquis de Custine''s, was this their first meeting?
4973But the touchy artist, in true artist fashion-- or shall we be quite just and say"in true human fashion"?
4973But were Chopin''s friends correct in saying that he played better than Kalkbrenner, and could learn nothing from him?
4973But what did Chopin think of Thalberg?
4973But what is the use of carping at a name?
4973But what is this( the four bars before the tempo I.)?
4973But what shall I do?
4973But what was it then that attracted him to Kalkbrenner, and made him exalt this pianist above all the pianists he had heard?
4973But what was the reason of this indignation?
4973But what was to be done now?
4973But who could describe that wondrous blending of loving strength and lovable weakness of a true woman''s character?
4973But who could recount all the happy and hapless loves that have made poets?
4973But who would expect religious adherence to fact from Heine, who at all times distinguishes himself rather by wit than conscientiousness?
4973But why do you not write a word about yourself?
4973But, it may be asked, did all this happen in exactly the same way in which it is told here?
4973But, it may be asked, was not this languid monotony which results from the employment of these means just what Chopin intended?
4973But, it will be asked, what music did they play?
4973But, then, how could Chopin have composed on that occasion a Prelude included in a work the manuscript of which he sent away on the lath?
4973Chopin does not envy him the honour:-- Will the time come[ he writes] when Lafont will accompany me?
4973Chopin to Gutmann; Calder House, October 16, 1848( twelve miles from Edinburgh):-- Very dear friend,--What are you doing?
4973Chopin when applied to for his signature wrote:"La lettre venant des Allemands, comment voulez- vous que je m''arroge le droit de la signer?"
4973Chopin''s style, then, was not original?
4973Could it possibly be Loch Lomond?
4973Could she not select something better than just this etude, the least interesting for those who do not know that it is written for the black keys?
4973Dark clouds?)
4973Did Dib dance in last night''s pantomime?
4973Did I happen to lend you Witwicki''s songs?
4973Did Miss Wieck play my Etude well?
4973Did fame and publications travel so slowly in the earlier part of the century?
4973Did not Chopin himself say to Hiller that he wished to be to his countrymen what Uhland was to the Germans?
4973Did you prepay when you sent them the letter?
4973Did you prepay?
4973Did you receive my little note the day before yesterday?
4973Do the trees still sing as beautifully in the moonlight?
4973Do we not hear-- yea, and see too-- a high- spirited chivalry approaching and passing?
4973Do you board at the club?
4973Do you know Chopin''s wonderful studies?)
4973Do you know how much Wessel paid him for them?
4973Do you not know that the hour for working has come?"
4973Does he agree to the transaction I proposed to him?
4973Does it not rather suggest a Titan in commotion?
4973Does the white- bearded sea- god still persecute her with his foolish, stale love?
4973Does this question sound arrogant?
4973Est- ce un chien qui vient d''aboyer?]
4973For did he not consider his own playing as good as that of Herz, and feel that he had in him the stuff to found a new era in music?
4973For is not leaping the mind''s natural mode of locomotion, and walking an artificially- acquired and rare accomplishment?
4973Gutmann asked what he intended to do?
4973Gutmann tells us that he had an early opportunity of making these observations, for Chopin visited his pupil the very day after his arrival(?
4973Had Chopin or her brother, or both, to do with this paroxysm of despair?
4973Had Chopin, when he left Paris, really in view the possibility of settling in London?
4973Had genius to wait so long for recognition?
4973Has Liszt correctly represented it?
4973Has a dog been barking?"
4973Have you delivered any of the messages it contained?
4973Have you received the letter?
4973Have you thrown up redoubts?
4973He may not have recognised us at once, quickened his steps, stopped before us, and said to her harshly:"Qu''est- ce que vous faites ici?"
4973He ought to give me 300 francs for it, n''est- ce pas?
4973He was there, he was present at the triumph of his pupil, the anxious audience asked itself:"Shall we hear him?"
4973Heaven be thanked, they are all well; but why are they concerned about me?
4973Hereupon Rollinat asked him naively:--"Well, why, then, do you not set about it at once?"
4973How are my friends faring?
4973How are you and your wife and the dear children?
4973How are your people, your country, your art?
4973How are your people?
4973How is this strange silence to be accounted for?
4973How many days( between August 23 and September 7?)
4973How often have they not conquered the conquerors of their country?
4973How should I receive this precious soul so as to give it to God?
4973How, indeed, could a lasting concord be maintained by two such disparate characters?
4973I saw Chopin every day; how, then, could I remain ignorant of it?"
4973I was with Chopin at the time the letter arrived, and he said to me,"They have only me, and should I close my door upon them?
4973I wonder if that will have a good effect?
4973In what state of mind are you?
4973Indeed, how could they?
4973Is Madame de Lauvergeat also at the sea- side?
4973Is it not his duty to tell the truth, and nothing but the truth, in order that his subject may stand out unobstructed and shine forth unclouded?
4973Is it not possible that Chopin may have afterwards substituted the new Prelude for one of those already forwarded to France?
4973Is it possible to imagine anything more inconsistent and self- delusive than these ravings of our friend?
4973Is she at Radom?
4973Is she really so much changed in appearance?
4973Is there not something pleonastic in the title"Fantaisie- Impromptu?"
4973Is there still no end to the bloodshed?
4973Is this not a quite unusual politeness?
4973Is this not an altogether mad idea?
4973Is this not like a shriek of despair?
4973It was evident that the money given to the portiere had not arrived at its destination; but how to be assured of this?
4973Keep your millions for me till another time-- is it not already too much to dispose of your time as I do?
4973Let him know that I have six new manuscripts, for which I want 300 francs each( how many pounds is that?).
4973Looked at from the musician''s point of view, how much do we not see that is novel and strange, and beautiful and fascinating withal?
4973No?
4973Now, how are you?
4973Now, what congeniality could there be between the rugged German and the delicate Pole?
4973Now, what remains of this statement after subtracting prejudices and narrow- mindedness?
4973Now, what thoughts did Chopin''s playing call up in Heine?
4973On December 21, 1830, he writes to his parents:-- I do not know whether I ought to go soon to Italy or wait a little longer?
4973On what floor, and how much do you pay?
4973Or are you so lazy?
4973Or must we assume that the man Moscheles was less congenial to Chopin than the artist?
4973Perhaps she mocks at me-- laughs at me?
4973Perhaps she only appeared so to you, or was she afraid of anything?
4973Perhaps she was ill?
4973Perhaps to pay his debts?
4973Seeing that so many of Chopin''s letters have been published with wrong dates, why not also that of January 12?
4973Shall I go to Paris?
4973Shall I kill myself?
4973Shall I not write to you any more?
4973Shall I return home?
4973Shall I stay here?
4973Shall I tell you how well founded this disgust was?
4973Stoepel?"
4973Surely this passionate lover could not have forgotten her beneath whose feet he wished his ashes to be spread after his death?
4973Tantae animis coelestibus irae?
4973That is why I write you such a foolish letter, is it?
4973The Count said--"Chopin, how is it that you, who have such admirable ideas, do not compose an opera?"
4973The air?
4973The latter came with an old friend, a Russian Capellmeister[ Soliva?].
4973The reader may perhaps already have asked the question-- What was Chopin like in his outward appearance?
4973The tender commencement of the second part is followed, as it were, by the several times repeated questions-- Yes?
4973They expected also to see me, in full dress, in the very middle of the choir; what not?
4973This is also the place to dispose of the question: What was done with Chopin''s MSS.?
4973To complete the idea of the man, we must not omit to mention his essay In how far is the Polish language suitable for music?
4973To take liberties with another artist''s works and complain when another artist takes liberties with your own works is very inconsistent, is it not?
4973To- morrow I shall hold a rehearsal[ of the E minor Concerto] with quartet, and then drive to-- whither?
4973Was Chopin a good teacher?
4973Was Solange the chief subject of George Sand''s lamentations?
4973Was his attachment to the composer weaker than his attachment to his cash- box?]
4973Was it written first for the pianoforte and orchestra, as Schumann suspects?
4973Well, did she not come and fulfil her promise, or, at least, take leave of her friend of many years?
4973What Pole does not hate the Jews?
4973What can I do?
4973What do we know of Blangini, the"Musical Anacreon,"and his twenty operas, one hundred and seventy two- part"Notturni,"thirty- four"Romances,"& c.?
4973What do you think of this?
4973What else, indeed, had Vienna to offer to the earnest musician?
4973What had he not always feared on this terrain?
4973What is going on at home?
4973What is it to me if Schlesinger makes Probst pay dearer for my manuscripts?
4973What more would I not want if that were your fancy?
4973What name has been more misapplied than that of impromptu?
4973What necessity was there to expatiate on her brother''s drunkenness?
4973What other work of the composer could be pointed out exhibiting the like feature?
4973What shall I say?
4973What shall you do with my papers?
4973What virtuous motives can have prompted her to publish her mother''s shame?
4973What was I to do?
4973What was to be done?
4973What will be the result?
4973Where are Paer''s oratorios, operas, and cantatas performed now?
4973Where are they?
4973Whether the other artists had so too I did not know as yet; but why should they be against me?
4973While thus controverting the so- called vox Dei( are not popular opinions generally popular prejudices?)
4973Who can help smiling at this combination of pompous authoritativeness and wretched short- sightedness?
4973Who can sound the sufferings proceeding from this contrast?
4973Who could resist?
4973Who could retain everything?
4973Who sent them to me?
4973Who would suspect the composer''s fragility and sickliness in this work?
4973Why am I doomed to be here so lonely and forsaken?
4973Why did he keep it in his portfolio?
4973Why have I not expressed an opinion on the moral aspect of Chopin''s connection with George Sand?
4973Why may I not at least be your drummer?
4973Why should I not embrace it?...
4973Why should he write?
4973With what do you occupy yourself generally?"
4973Would it be an honest action?
4973Would it not have been possible to live in retirement without drawing upon himself the accusation of supercilious hauteur?
4973Would the praise which is generally lavished upon her have been so enthusiastic if the lady had been a professional pianist instead of a princess?
4973You begin at last to become more tranquil,[ FOOTNOTE: This, I think, refers to some loss Franchomme had sustained in his family] do you not?
4973You have read the German letters, sealed them, and done everything I asked you, have you not?
4973You will come back to us in the month of September, will you not?
4973You write that you and your regiment are going to take the field; how will you forward the note?
4973[ 1827?]
4973[ Chopin, avec vos idees admirables, pourquoi ne nous faites- vous pas un opera?]
4973[ Have you studied diligently?]
4973[ Qu''est- ce?
4973a pupil of Liszt''s, an artist?"
4973and Madame Franchomme and her dear children?
4973and these 25,000 francs which were sent you lately?"
4973and what follows, bewildered efforts of a soul shut in by a wall of circumstances through which it strives in vain to break?
4973and what had become of it?
4973at last sinking down with fatigue, dreaming a dream of idyllic beauty?
4973but beginning the struggle again as soon as its strength is recruited?
4973does she love me?
4973replied Chopin, with a drawl, but in the politest tone,"what do you want me for then?
49507I kept thee as safe As I keep my skin....SIEGFRIED[_ With increasing urgency._ Next tell me, who was my father?
49507I made the mite clothing To keep it warm....SIEGFRIED Now tell me, what name was my mother''s?
49507..[_ In Siegfried''s arms, looking faintly up at him._ Siegfried... knows me not?
49507A VASSAL Was that the end of the singing?
49507A surly old dwarf Said to me once That men might learn To follow the sense Of birds when they were singing; Could it indeed be done?
49507A wish- maiden I bore to Wotan; From fields of battle She brought him slain heroes; Bold is she And wise to boot: Why waken me?

49507ALBERICH Art thou intent On mischief again?
49507ALBERICH Have I disturbed thee, Thief, at thy work, Secret and sly?
49507ALBERICH Just for rearing him, The old niggardly, Beggarly knave, Bold as brass, A king now would become?
49507ALBERICH Rogue, has my gold Provoked thy greed?
49507ALBERICH What the boy has won Would the niggard deny him?
49507ALBERICH Who was it robbed The Rhine of gold for the ring?
49507ALBERICH[_ Violently._ Wilt thou hold thy hand from the hoard?
49507ALBERICH[_ With anxious amazement, aside._ Does the madman mean it?
49507ALDERICH And yet it is not to be mine?
49507ALDERICH Does none but Mime Dispute me the ring?
49507Alberich is seen crouching in front of him, leaning his arms on Hagen''s knees._ ALBERICH[_ Softly._ Hagen, son, art asleep?
49507All stand fixed in silent mutual contemplation._ SIEGFRIED[_ Leaning on his horse, remains quietly standing by the boat._ Who is Gibich''s son?
49507Am I to have it?
49507And how weld the splinters Of obstinate steel?
49507And where shall I find The runes for this riddle?
49507And whose cunning wrought The spell of magical might?
49507And why hast callèd us here?
49507Anguished with terror?
49507Apart-- who shall divide us?
49507Armed men arrive in haste by different paths; first singly, and then in larger and larger groups._ THE VASSALS Why sounds the horn?
49507Art awake?
49507Art thou a mortal, Or dost thou hie From Hella''s dark host?
49507Art thou alone?
49507Art thou then a bird or a fox?
49507As my blood like a torrent Surges and leaps, The fire fierce- flaming Dost thou not feel?
49507At last thou beginnest to fear?
49507BRÜNNHILDE On Siegfried?
49507BRÜNNHILDE The Rhine- daughters-- I-- the ring?
49507BRÜNNHILDE The ring-- away?
49507BRÜNNHILDE Were I now thine?
49507BRÜNNHILDE Where hast thou hid the ring That thou didst capture from me?
49507BRÜNNHILDE[_ Alarmed._ What ails, then, the Gods everlasting?
49507BRÜNNHILDE[_ Bewildered._ Confused are my senses, My mind is blank: Wisdom, dost thou forsake me?
49507BRÜNNHILDE[_ Here, for the first time, notices with surprise Waltraute''s wildly excited state._ Art afraid?
49507BRÜNNHILDE[_ Looking round dully._ On whom?
49507BRÜNNHILDE[_ Scarcely able to control herself._ Siegfried... here?
49507BRÜNNHILDE[_ Stares, as if fainting, before her; exhausted._ O woman undone, Where now thy defence?
49507BRÜNNHILDE[_ Trembling violently._ What man has done This deed undaunted That the boldest only dares?
49507BRÜNNHILDE[_ With animation._ Then a waste is my hall of rock?
49507BRÜNNHILDE[_ With fearful vehemence._ I?
49507Behind what hill Hast suddenly hidden my game?
49507Betrayed by drowsiness And rest thou dost not hear?
49507Blithe hero, Whither bound?
49507Brünnhilde starts up in delight._ Siegfried?
49507But answer me this: Has the brute a heart?
49507But how, Mime, Can it be mine?
49507But where hast thou, Mime, A wife dear and loving, That I may call her mother?
49507By the blaze of my eyes Thou art not struck blind?
49507By what wizard''s spell Worked was the woe?
49507Can I awaken the bride?
49507Can it mean Fafner''s death?
49507Canst thou not see?
49507Canst thou tell us the end?
49507Could babe without mother Be born to thee?
49507Did I say that?
49507Did the dear one but sleep?
49507Didst thou take nothing besides?
49507Do I drivel or dote?
49507Does my subtle scheming Please thee now?
49507Does revolt''s teacher Chide revolt?
49507Does the deed he urged to Anger him, done?
49507Dost covet my goods?
49507Dost thou know how he fared?
49507Dost thou see That cavern yawning dark?
49507Ever- brightening tongues of flame shoot up over the edge of the rock._ Why leap so wildly The billows that blaze round the rock?
49507Explain: this fearing, what is it?
49507FAFNER Is this insolence?
49507FAFNER''S VOICE Who troubles my sleep?
49507FAFNER[_ At the sight of Siegfried has paused on the high ground, and remains there._ What is that?
49507FAFNER[_ In a weaker voice._ Who art thou, boy bold- hearted, That hast pierced my breast?
49507FLOSSHILDE Is she a shrew?
49507FLOSSHILDE What art thou scolding about?
49507False to his vow?
49507Fearest thou not The wild, love- frenzied maid?
49507Fearest thou, Siegfried?
49507From woe and wrath Rises the Nibelung''s ring; A curse of revenge Ruthlessly gnaws at the strands:-- Canst thou the end foretell?
49507GRUTUNE Siegfried faithless?
49507GUNTHER And Brünnhild''no other can win?
49507GUNTHER And Siegfried won it in fight?
49507GUNTHER Broke he the bond?
49507GUNTHER But how can he be found?
49507GUNTHER But how wilt deceive her?
49507GUNTHER He only who braves the fire... SIEGFRIED[_ As if making an intense effort to remember something._"He only who braves the fire"...?
49507GUNTHER Suffices my strength for the task?
49507GUNTHER Thou wouldst seize Gutrune''s dower, Insolent Niblung son?
49507GUNTHER Was I betrayed?
49507GUNTHER Who is that hero unmatched?
49507GUNTHER Whom wouldst thou have me woo, To win more wide renown?
49507GUNTHER Will he go by?
49507GUNTHER[_ In great perplexity._ The ring?
49507GUNTHER[_ Rises angrily from his seat._ Why wake dissension and doubt?
49507GUNTHER[_ Seized with horror._ Siegfried''s death?
49507GUNTHER[_ Softly._ Brünnhilde''s ring?
49507GUNTHER[_ Springing up in the greatest consternation._ What says he?
49507GUNTHER[_ Turns away doubtful and angry._ But how could I force this man To woo the bride for me?
49507GUTRUNE A wrong?
49507GUTRUNE And no harm didst thou take?
49507GUTRUNE And so the bold maid was tamed?
49507GUTRUNE But how got Gunther his wife from thee?
49507GUTRUNE Comes then Brünnhild''with my brother?
49507GUTRUNE Did Brünnhild''think thee Gunther?
49507GUTRUNE Did she give herself to thee?
49507GUTRUNE For her husband thou didst pass?
49507GUTRUNE Siegfried-- mine?
49507GUTRUNE Siegfried?
49507GUTRUNE Was he not scorched by the fire?
49507GUTRUNE[_ Breaking out in sudden despair._ Accursèd Hagen, Why didst thou give the poison That stole her husband away?
49507GUTRUNE[_ In great fear._ What is wrong, Hagen?
49507GUTRUNE[_ With growing terror._ What bring they here?
49507Guardest thou Fafner''s house?
49507Gunther?
49507Gutrune comes out of her chamber into the hall._ Was that his horn?
49507Gutrune''s lord?
49507HAGEN And nothing took at all?
49507HAGEN But thou didst hear them once?
49507HAGEN Didst thou take The Tarnhelm and ring?
49507HAGEN Hast thou won Brünnhild''?
49507HAGEN No luck at all?
49507HAGEN The wood- bird''s counsel Didst thou follow?
49507HAGEN Then no weapon forged could wound him?
49507HAGEN Which safe thou dost hold?
49507HAGEN With me art wroth for that?
49507HAGEN''Twas well that he warned?
49507HAGEN[_ Bending confidentially towards Gutrune._ What of the drink in the chest?
49507HAGEN[_ Remains motionless as before._ The might of the Gods Who then shall wield?
49507HAGEN[_ Stepping between them._ Brünnhild'', dauntless queen, Knowest thou this ring well?
49507Hagen, son, art asleep?
49507Has grief enough Not deluged the earth through thy guile?
49507Has he made off?
49507Has he stained Gunther''s honour?
49507Has she gone mad?
49507Hast thou gone crazy?
49507Hast thou not fostered a stripling To pluck the fruit thou durst not[_ With growing violence._ Pluck frankly for thyself?
49507Hast thou not heard?
49507Hast thou rejoiced Thyself to see Reflected clear in the stream?
49507Hast thou such wisdom, Explain, I pray thee, A thing I have wondered at: Though I go roaming Just to avoid thee, Why do I always return?
49507Have I found A path to peace?
49507He listens with growing interest to one singing in the branches above him._ O lovely warbler, I know not thy note; Hast thou thy home in this wood?
49507He looks into the wood at the side and comes forward a little._ What lies in shadow, Asleep in the wood?
49507He who guards the right, To whom vows are sacred, Hinders the right?-- Reigns through falsehood?
49507He... Siegfried?
49507Here stands one Who would learn to fear; Say, wilt thou be his teacher?
49507How brace my heart?
49507How conquer my fear?
49507How could I weld it?
49507How could we look in her face If her husband we had slain?
49507How earnest thou by The ring thou hast on?
49507How help myself now?
49507How hold the boy here?
49507How lead the young madcap To Fafner''s lair?
49507How rede aright such a riddle?
49507How shall I dare To look on their light?
49507How, coward, could it be taught me?
49507If I be thine?
49507If Siegfried learn fear, The dragon will never be slain; And, if so, how gain the ring?
49507In front of this Hagen is seated._ GUNTHER Give ear, Hagen; Tell me the truth: Is my fame on the Rhine Worthy of Gibich''s son?
49507Is Gunther sore pressed?
49507Is it the dragon''s slayer?
49507Is it the glare That dazzles me still?
49507Is she within?
49507Is that what is meant by fearing?
49507Is the work finished?
49507Is there a spell, Perhaps, in the blood?
49507Is this what fear means?
49507Just one thing more I would learn, sweet singer: Say, shall I break through the fire?
49507Know I all thou wouldst learn?
49507Know ye why that was?
49507Knowest thou Wotan''s will?
49507Knowest thou more thereof?
49507Laughing, the flames Allure thee to follow?
49507MIME And where is the ring?
49507MIME But the dragon grim Has fallen before thee?
49507MIME But what proof will convince thee?
49507MIME Now the file is ruined, The rasp is useless; Why grind thus the steel to splinters?
49507MIME The sword?
49507MIME Thou knowest not that, Yet wouldst from the forest Forth to the world?
49507MIME Thou wilt not refuse Cooling refreshment When the fierce fight is over?
49507MIME What father?
49507MIME Who made the Tarnhelm, Changing its wearer''s form?
49507MIME[_ Alarmed._ What wouldst thou to- day with the sword?
49507MIME[_ Angrily._ What dost thou mean?
49507MIME[_ As before._ Where shall I turn in my need?
49507MIME[_ Astonished._ What makes thee think that?
49507MIME[_ Comes forward, greatly upset and confused._ The sword?
49507MIME[_ Furiously._ Do what, child?
49507MIME[_ In a small voice, from behind the anvil._''Tis thou then, child?
49507MIME[_ Starting up in alarm._ Who seeks for me here In desolate woods, Finds my home in the forest wild?
49507MIME[_ Very angrily._ How canst thou talk Such terrible stuff?
49507MIME[_ Who has been staring at the Wanderer open- mouthed, now shrinks back; aside, dejectedly._ Now how to get rid of the spy?
49507Meanest thou her?
49507Motionless, gloomy silence._ THE FIRST NORN What light glimmers there?
49507Must I help thee?
49507Must then all human mothers Thus die on giving Birth to a son?
49507My head, say, is it Still, Wanderer, mine?
49507Now answer: Think ye my counsel good?
49507Now how shall I teach thee to fear?
49507Now say, whence came the name Siegfried?
49507Or perchance-- O say!--[_ With some hesitation._ Has he at last Softened to his child?
49507Pale art thou dawning Athwart the dark?
49507Round the sharp edge Of the rock I wind the rope: Sing, O sister, Catch as I throw; Further canst thou tell?
49507SIEGFRIED Courage or insolence, What matter?
49507SIEGFRIED From a dragon grim I won the ring in fight; And think ye for a worthless bear- skin I would exchange the gold?
49507SIEGFRIED I trust thee not with my ears, I trust thee but with mine eyes: What witness speaks for thee?
49507SIEGFRIED If I must swear, The slander to still, Which of you offers His sword for the oath?
49507SIEGFRIED It lies not far from the world?
49507SIEGFRIED It lies, however, Where all hearts lie, Brute and human alike?
49507SIEGFRIED Of a cooling drink I were glad; Say, how has this one been brewed?
49507SIEGFRIED Said not thy song Thy wisdom drew Its light from thy love of me?
49507SIEGFRIED Still art thou dumb, Stubborn old man?
49507SIEGFRIED That I am hated Pleases me; But must I lose my life for thy pleasure?
49507SIEGFRIED To me thou art plotting harm, then?
49507SIEGFRIED Wakes Gutrune?
49507SIEGFRIED What know I of that?
49507SIEGFRIED When I was a babe Thou wert my nurse, Made the mite clothing To keep him warm; But tell me, whence Did the tiny mite come?
49507SIEGFRIED Where has he his lair?
49507SIEGFRIED Where stable my horse?
49507SIEGFRIED Where the master has failed What hope for the scholar, Had he obeyed him in all?
49507SIEGFRIED Who was my father?
49507SIEGFRIED[_ Goes a few steps towards Brünnhilde, who has begun to tremble._ Why looks Brünnhild''amazed?
49507SIEGFRIED[_ Halts and turns round._ Did some one speak?
49507SIEGFRIED[_ Impatiently._ What absurd Invention is this?
49507SIEGFRIED[_ Laughing._ Under the anvil?
49507SIEGFRIED[_ Laughing._''Twas under the seat That thou wert sitting; What weighty thing foundest thou there?
49507SIEGFRIED[_ Regarding them with a smile._ Have ye, then, hither charmed The shaggy- hided fellow Whom I have lost?
49507SIEGFRIED[_ Sits down under the lime- tree and looks about him._ So here I shall learn what fear is?
49507SIEGFRIED[_ Slowly._ My poor mother died, then, through me?
49507SIEGFRIED[_ Softly and timidly._ My mother did not die, then?
49507SIEGFRIED[_ Softly._ Can those be good runes That in her eyes I am reading?
49507SIEGFRIED[_ Surprised._ At what dost thou laugh?
49507SIEGFRIED[_ Turning to Hagen._ My name thou knowest; Where have we met?
49507SIEGFRIED[_ Turns with animation to Gunther._ In what canst thou fail With me for friend?
49507SIEGFRIED[_ Vehemently._ Dost thou by shuffling Seek to escape?
49507SIEGFRIED[_ Vehemently_ Is it an art?
49507SIEGFRIED[_ Violently._ Wilt thou speak plainly Or must I help thee?
49507SIEGFRIED[_ With quiet wonder._ This fear then, what is it?
49507Say, bold fighter, Hast thou been taught how to fear?
49507Say, what foe is nigh?
49507Say, what next?
49507Say, what sword, If Fafner to fall is, Must be by Siegfried swung?
49507See p. 129] WALTRAUTE This is thy faith, then?
49507See p. 86] On whom shall I call, For aid imploring?
49507Shall it be mine?
49507Shining armour?
49507Siegfried a traitor?
49507Siegfried gazes at her with sudden passion._ SIEGFRIED O thou who dost scorch And blind with thine eyes, Why sink them abashed by my gaze?
49507Siegfried returned?
49507Siegfried''s love- pledge?
49507Siegfried?
49507Sing, O sister-- Catch as I throw-- Canst thou tell us why?
49507Sleepest, Hagen, my son?
49507So the stern one does not forgive?
49507Swift- footed hero, Whence stormest thou now?
49507THE SECOND NORN Is it already dawn?
49507THE SECOND NORN[_ To the first._ Where for our spinning and singing Wilt thou fasten the rope?
49507THE THREE RHINE- MAIDENS Wilt grant it?
49507THE VASSALS And after that, Hagen?
49507THE VASSALS Got Mime due payment?
49507THE VASSALS Her kinsmen and vassals Follow for vengeance?
49507THE VASSALS How then can his vassals avail him?
49507THE VASSALS Is he in straits, Pressed by the foe?
49507THE VASSALS The drink- horn in hand, What task awaits us still?
49507THE VASSALS Then the peril is past, And the foe put to flight?
49507THE VASSALS What''s wrong?
49507THE VASSALS[_ With increasing cheerfulness._ What shall we do When the beasts we have slain?
49507That light dost thou see?
49507The Wanderer''s way who bars?
49507The horrible winking, The nods and blinking-- When shall I see The last of them, And rid be at length of the fool?
49507The sword?
49507This corner is mine; What huntest thou here?
49507Thou fearest his punishing wrath?
49507Thou neighest with joy To think thou shalt join him?
49507Thou?
49507Though thou didst want it, Was it designed by thee?
49507Timid day, Tremblest thou forth?
49507To her sorrow Thus coldly thou leavest thy sister?
49507To whom?
49507To whom?
49507VASSALS and WOMEN Deceit?
49507VASSALS and WOMEN Siegfried?
49507WALTRAUTE For Brünnhild''s sake War- father''s ban Hast thou thus bravely broken?
49507WANDERER A wood- bird chatters idly What no man understands; How then couldst thou tell The song''s true meaning?
49507WANDERER But who made The mighty splinters From which the sword was welded strong?
49507WANDERER The Valkyrie, Brünnhild''?
49507WANDERER Who bade thee seek This rock flame- circled?-- Taught thee to yearn for the woman?
49507WANDERER Who forged the sword So hard and keen That it slew the daunting foe?
49507WANDERER Who was it urged thee on To try thy strength, And slay this dragon so dread?
49507WANDERER[_ Enters from the wood, and stops opposite Alberich._ To Neidhöhl''By night I have come; In the dark who is hiding there?
49507WANDERER[_ Quietly._ Schwarz- Alberich Wanders here?
49507WELLGUNDE And beats thee sore?
49507WELLGUNDE In bargains so hard?
49507WELLGUNDE With what elf art thou so wroth?
49507WOGLINDE Art thou so mean?
49507WOGLINDE Has the hero felt her hand?
49507WOGLINDE Hast thou been tricked by some sprite?
49507We come with our arms?
49507Were I to pray the same of thee, Wouldst thou like him be proud?
49507Wert thou grinding the sword?
49507What ails thee, coward?
49507What arts have I to bind him?
49507What brings thee here?
49507What buzzes and whirs?
49507What can I say?
49507What flickers and flashes?
49507What glitters and gleams In the sun''s hot glow?
49507What heir will succeed him?
49507What help in the trustiest sword, Hadst thou not learned to fear?
49507What hero broke Brünnhilde''s sleep?
49507What mother?
49507What path soonest leads to the fell?
49507What races so swift Through soul and senses?
49507What rustles and hums And rings so loud?
49507What shall I do?
49507What sways there and swings And circles about?
49507What wilt thou here?
49507What woman was it I saw go down to the shore?
49507What work hast thou done?
49507Where art thou?
49507Where hidest thou?
49507Where is thy welcome?
49507Where shall I hide My luckless head?
49507While I melt steel, What art thou brewing?
49507While doing so he watches Mime, who, from the other side of the hearth, carefully puts his pot on the fire._ What does the booby Make in his pot?
49507Whispered ye this In councils dark?
49507Whither away?
49507Who again Has locked thee in sleep And bound thee in slumber so fast?
49507Who are my father and mother?
49507Who art thou, frightful one?
49507Who calls us to arms?
49507Who comes there, shining in shadow?
49507Who forces war?
49507Who hath suffered scathe?
49507Who seeks me here?
49507Who seeks the lonely one here?
49507Who stirred up thy childish soul To the murderous deed?
49507Who then art thou That wilt not let me pass?
49507Why art thou come, wild and wayward, To trouble the Wala''s sleep?
49507Why dost delay?
49507Why endure their scorn?
49507Why hang thy head in grief?
49507Why seek not counsel From Erda''s and Wotan''s child?
49507Why spin we not, singing the while?
49507Why stir up my desire And yearning for joys That can not be won?
49507Why was I not taught?
49507Why wearest thou Such a monstrous hat, And why hangs it so over thy face?
49507Why, what doest thou there?
49507Will none of you lend a sword With which I may sever my bonds?
49507Wilt eat the meat I have roasted, Or wouldst thou prefer the broth?
49507Wilt never learn the lesson Of gratitude, I wonder?
49507Within thine eyes, So over- weary, Gleams wavering fire; With thy wan visage, O pale- faced sister, What wouldst thou, wild one, of me?
49507Wouldst have this pin Pass for a sword?
49507[_ A distant horn sounds._ Was that his horn?
49507[_ A storm arises in the wood on the right, and from the same quarter there shines down a bluish light._ What comes yonder, gleaming bright?
49507[_ Approaching slowly he stops in surprise when, still at some little distance from her, he sees Brünnhilde._ What radiant thing lies yonder?
49507[_ As she goes towards the hall she turns round again._ Wilt thou rest, wicked man?
49507[_ Calling to the wing, and then hastening to the edge of the rock._ Dost thou, sister, Boldly swinging come this way?
49507[_ He bends lower over the sleeper._ His bosom is heaving, Stirred by his breath; Ought I to loosen the breastplate?
49507[_ He goes still nearer to the Wanderer._ But what art thou like?
49507[_ He goes towards the back._ WANDERER[_ Still in the same position._ Boy, pray tell me, Whither away?
49507[_ He has another drinking- horn filled, and drops the juice of a herb into it._ THE VASSALS What further did the bird tell thee?
49507[_ He holds the sword anxiously in his hand; Siegfried snatches it from him._ What matters an edge keen sharpened, Unless hard and true the steel?
49507[_ He leans his ear towards the cave, listening._ FAFNER''S VOICE What would he?
49507[_ He pauses in surprise._ Where hides the smith?
49507[_ He rubs his hands confidingly._ ALBERICH[_ With a mocking laugh._ Share it with thee?
49507[_ He sinks as if fainting on to Brünnhilde''s bosom; then he starts up sighing._ How waken the maid, Causing her eyelids to open?
49507[_ He turns to go, and beckons Gunther to follow him._ GUNTHER Wilt thou not rest awhile?
49507[_ Much pleased._ A second time My head have I saved?
49507[_ Tenderly._ Her eyelids to open?
49507[_ The maidens laugh._ WOGLINDE What would our guerdon be, Siegfried, if we restored him?
49507[_ They laugh and dive down._ SIEGFRIED[_ Comes down nearer to the river._ Why should I stand Their taunts and blame?
49507[_ Tittering._ SIEGFRIED So thou of my sword And all it has won me-- Ring and booty-- wouldst rob me?
49507[_ Tittering._ SIEGFRIED Thou wouldst, then, slay me when sleeping?
49507[_ Two ravens fly up out of a bush, circle above Siegfried, and then fly away towards the Rhine._ HAGEN Didst understand What the ravens there said?
49507[_ Very softly._ In fear and woe she bore me, But why did she die through me?
49507[_ With a trembling voice._ Gunther, what name is thy sister''s?
28711A handsome fellow?
28711Ah, dost hear the challenge?
28711Ah, ha?
28711Ah, my lovely boy, hast thou now learned to fear?
28711Ah, this is where thou hast hidden thyself?
28711Ah-- then you are not going to mass?
28711Ah?
28711Alas, then, what can I do?
28711Alas, why should I meet thee,she sobbed,"since thou wilt marry Amneris to- morrow?"
28711Alone with me?
28711Am I to have the gaiety of my guests spoiled because of this old dotard? 28711 And Pamina?"
28711And Sieglinde?
28711And by the way, what are your names?
28711And do you smell that delicious odour? 28711 And does he know that you have followed this sweetheart of his?"
28711And how do you want your money?
28711And if I went back-- what about you?
28711And now what can ye do, Molly Pitt?
28711And now you, Polly Smith?
28711And thou, Elsa, wilt thou name thy champion, and leave thy honour in his hands?
28711And who is this good old woman, pray?
28711And-- and who may be''old Rob,''your ladyship?
28711Answer me, Frederick, wilt thou do battle here with whoever may appear to defend this Lady?
28711Are n''t you afraid of being discovered?
28711Are these for me?
28711Are ye good for nothing?
28711Are you a poet?
28711Are you afraid?
28711Are you demented? 28711 Are you then a''scholar''?"
28711Art thou mourning because thou art sorry to lose thy Lord so soon, sweet Lady?
28711Art thou not my son? 28711 Art thou sleeping?"
28711Art thou still near me, Papageno?
28711Art thou there, Aïda?
28711Art thou waking, mother?
28711At once, dear mother?
28711At what point is the service?
28711Because if so, I feel nothing yet-- although maybe I do, and do not know it?
28711Betray his people?
28711But do you not see that though the King should favour us, yet Amneris''s rage would be beyond all bounds?
28711But now canst thou tell me who are they who dwell upon cloud- hidden heights?
28711But since he loves me, how can I betray him, father?
28711But what about Mozart?
28711But what about her husband?
28711But what can I do, since I should have to fight against my own enchantments?
28711But wilt thou not ask him, Rocco?
28711But, Rocco, instead of digging a grave for the poor man, to whom we go, couldst thou not set him free?
28711But, father, must I certainly marry the best singer?
28711By whom are the Ethiopians led?
28711Can I not watch ye at play?
28711Can it be the Dragon''s burning blood has some virtue which makes me understand the bird''s song?
28711Can it be thou hast dreamed a song?
28711Can that light mean the coming of him who is to slay Fafner?
28711Can this be true, my child?
28711Can you not sing?
28711Canst thou deny the accusation?
28711Care well for the horse, Hagen; for it is of the mightiest strain ever known, and dear to me as my eyes; but how do you know my name?
28711David, what are you doing there?
28711Desert my soldiers?
28711Di Luna, mother?
28711Did I not give an eye to win thee, Fricka?
28711Did I not rescue thee from the forest when thou wert born, and have I not fed and clothed thee?
28711Did any one ever know such a stupid, dismal life as we are leading?
28711Did n''t he just pass me on the stairs?
28711Did not Loge promise to ransom thee? 28711 Did you ever notice that there are often some tremendously pretty girls over there?"
28711Do I find there Wotan, and the Wälsungs-- my kinsmen who have gone before me?
28711Do the mists trick us?
28711Do ye who have betrayed me, now think to make that which is mine your own?
28711Do you dare throw yourself into the arms of this man, when I love him?
28711Do you expect to do nothing but entertain us with conversation? 28711 Do you expect to find her here?"
28711Do you know that when a rival tries to take a gipsy girl from her lover there is a price to pay?
28711Do you notice anything extraordinary about that man-- John of the inn?
28711Do you see how these disgusting rustics are staring? 28711 Does anybody love you?"
28711Doing? 28711 Dost know why I go forth and yet return, day after day?"
28711Dost think to grasp Gutrune''s dower?
28711Dost thou determine to hold thy court of judgment here, O King?
28711Dost thou know the crime with which thou art charged?
28711Dost thou not know of the Nibelungs''ring?
28711Dost thou not own the treasure of the Nibelungen, then?
28711Dost thou remember a magic potion I brought here to the hall of the Gibichungs? 28711 Doubtless thou wouldst be safe enough-- if such magic could be,"he answered, incredulously,"but----""You doubt?"
28711Even if I had, what help would it bring me, friend Sachs, since the Mastersingers will not treat me fairly?
28711Father, do you hear that traitor?
28711Father, what brings thee here?
28711Father?
28711For that beautiful maiden?
28711Force the girl? 28711 Go?"
28711Good- bye?
28711Good- night? 28711 Hand to hand and heart to heart, Who shall those I''ve united part?"
28711Has this sailor dared to lift his eyes to the Captain''s daughter? 28711 Hast thou not promised to give my sister Freïa to the Giants who builded it for thee?
28711Have done there, and answer-- where did he go?
28711Have you no horse?
28711Have you noticed any one following Gilda?
28711Have you seen Alfio, Turiddu?
28711Have you told him?
28711He is brave?
28711Here too?
28711Here, what does this mean? 28711 Herr Pogner, may I have speech with you?"
28711Hovel?
28711Hovel?
28711How about that constant love of thine? 28711 How can we go?"
28711How comes my power to naught?
28711How could I manage that?
28711How do I know? 28711 How does your Captain behave himself?"
28711How is this, after thy gentleness of last night?
28711How old are you, anyway?
28711How wilt thou avenge me? 28711 How wilt thou evade it?"
28711How? 28711 Huh?"
28711Hänsel, where are we?
28711I guess that may be the one?
28711I have led others into danger-- dare I desert them?
28711I should like to know why, the moment those chaps go out, we find ourselves in the dark?
28711I wonder could it be possible that I have had an inspiration in my sleep that might lead me to win my dear Eva?
28711I wonder if he can be ill?
28711I wonder where I can be?
28711I wonder will he welcome a wounded and defenceless guest?
28711If I should n''t come back----"What can you mean, my son?
28711If we grant thee some game to- day, wilt thou give us that ring upon thy finger?
28711If you would have that, you must go through every trial; and how about you, Papageno?
28711In another hour shall we not be forever parted?
28711In heaven''s name, why does n''t some one think of something to do that will vary the monotony of this routine existence? 28711 In love with me?"
28711Is he alive? 28711 Is he thy child?"
28711Is it thou who hast gone through flame for me?
28711Is it time to be afraid?
28711Is n''t your reigning chief Sarastro?
28711Is some one there?
28711Is that for me?
28711Is that how you make your living?
28711Is there not a rock surrounded by flames, near by? 28711 Is there nothing to attract you in Memphis, that you wish to be off to the war?"
28711Is this the face of your great Queen?
28711Is this thy justice? 28711 It is Sieglinde?"
28711It''s most awfully good,she declared, but at that very minute came the voice again: Nibble, nibble, mousekin, Who''s nibbling at my housekin?
28711Just what shall I get if I go into your housey?
28711Just who are you?
28711Last night thou wert mild and repentant, why now so bitter?
28711Leave the fight and Escamillo? 28711 Loge?"
28711Madame?
28711Mama Lucia, where is thy son?
28711May not this youth be able, in return for our services to him, to help us in our own troubles?
28711Me? 28711 Nancy-- Julia-- where are you?
28711No haste? 28711 Now one more answer, as wise as those gone before, and thy head is free: Who shall fashion this same sword, Nothung, for Siegfried?"
28711Now what do you mean by standing there and talking love?
28711Now what have you done? 28711 Now who will lend me a horse to put this poor wife upon?"
28711Now, pray tell me, ye wise ones, is it to be my lot to loosen Pamina''s bonds?
28711Now, then, ye have heard? 28711 Oh, Thaddeus, did I not also dream-- which pleased me most-- that you loved me still the same?"
28711Oh, come now-- do you think you can frighten me? 28711 Oh, how shall I awaken her?"
28711Oh, how shall I save him?
28711Oh, who can save him now?
28711Oh-- he is? 28711 Our duties?"
28711Pray what is the news?
28711Pray what_ is_ the news?
28711Pray, where did you get this?
28711Quick, what is thy news?
28711Say, Marker,he asked of Beckmesser,"is this not as it should be?"
28711Say, friend, who is this man?
28711Say, old hag, how long hast thou been among the Biscay mountains? 28711 Shall we not go through the river Rhein?"
28711She has n''t been cooking,he explained;"simply hiding-- and I ca n''t abide idle ways-- never could-- now what is wrong with you two?"
28711She knifed one of the girls, did she? 28711 So much the better,"the Duke answered,"I''ll stay here all night, and you clear out,"to Sparafucile;--"go to the devil, will you?
28711So, you love him?
28711So, you took the song, did you?
28711Solder? 28711 Tell me how you lure people to your home?"
28711Tell me the ring''s secret, wilt thou?
28711Tell me, Hagen,Gunther asked of his half brother,"is there anything I have left undone that could enhance the fortunes of my race?"
28711Tell me, are the ladies of the court beautiful?
28711Tell us, guest, how thy weapons were lost?
28711Telramund, what hast thou said? 28711 That is the only the reason for your tears?"
28711That sounds very bad; but tell me if this thing has a heart which is placed where other hearts are placed?
28711The Countess has a jealous husband, Rigoletto; pray what do you advise?
28711The Duke can not be disturbed-- do you understand? 28711 The bravest?"
28711The deuce you say? 28711 The prize?
28711The ring given me by Siegfried? 28711 The rosiest and roundest, eh?
28711The sand- man was here?
28711Then dost thou confess thy guilt?
28711Then where is it?
28711Then will you fly with me?
28711Think not?
28711This is a good business, eh?
28711Thou hast come to see Turiddu? 28711 Thou, Santuzza?
28711To our spinning?
28711United?--to a strolling fellow like this?
28711Very well, but in this dense wood who can see anything at this time of the night? 28711 Very well, very well, I''ll go first-- but what''s to be done with us now?"
28711We do, we do-- aren''t we British sailors? 28711 Well, Mime, is my head which I pledged to thee, free?"
28711Well, do you call that something new? 28711 Well, good lassies, what can ye do?"
28711Well, it does no good to complain, does it? 28711 Well, what do ye want?
28711Well, what harm?
28711Well, where?
28711Well, why not? 28711 Were you never before at a singing trial?"
28711What about the knight? 28711 What aileth thee?"
28711What am I to do with this Count? 28711 What are you doing here, thief,"cried the black revengeful spirit,"you who took the Rheingold?
28711What are_ you_ about? 28711 What art thou doing there, mother?"
28711What can I tell thee?
28711What can that mean?
28711What can we do?
28711What cry was that? 28711 What do I care for the lustre of gold?
28711What do I see?
28711What do we gather for? 28711 What do ye do here?"
28711What do you mean by that?
28711What do you mean by this? 28711 What do you say?"
28711What do you see, that you sit staring down there into the valley?
28711What does the Queen look like?
28711What does this mean?
28711What for, pray?
28711What for?
28711What for?
28711What for?
28711What good can thy treasures do thee here in this perpetual night?
28711What happened to the handsome knight?
28711What harm? 28711 What has happened to Lady Harriet?"
28711What hast thou done?
28711What hast thou done?
28711What have I to do with a misshapen thing like thee, whose heart is as wicked as its body is ugly? 28711 What if they have gone to the Ilsenstein?"
28711What is all this noise?
28711What is all this strife?
28711What is all this?
28711What is his race? 28711 What is it ye tell me?"
28711What is it?
28711What is that monster pursuing us?
28711What is that so bright and shining?
28711What is that you say?
28711What is that, ye sleek ones,he asked,"that gleams so brightly there?"
28711What is that?
28711What is the race which dwells upon the surface of the earth?
28711What is the secret of this ring?
28711What is the secret of thy ring that a man must forswear love for it?
28711What is the trouble there?
28711What is this that ye tell me?
28711What is this you say?
28711What is thy sister''s name?
28711What is wrong with thee, thou merry dwarf?
28711What is wrong with you?
28711What man has a friend, whose own greatness makes other men feel small?
28711What matters its edge if it be not hard and true?
28711What misfortune has come to Siegfried?
28711What next?--how escape?
28711What path shall we take to avoid the Egyptian soldiers?
28711What prevents some one stealing thy magic ring? 28711 What seek ye here?"
28711What shall I do for thee, Father Wotan?
28711What shall I do, then?
28711What shall I do? 28711 What shall I do?"
28711What sort of place is this?
28711What think ye? 28711 What troubles thee, friend?"
28711What was that dreadful language I heard you use?
28711What was that?
28711What will happen now?
28711What work?
28711What work?
28711What would ye that I become?
28711What wouldst thou do?
28711What!--NEVER?
28711What''s that you say, you ungrateful child? 28711 What''s that?
28711What''s that?
28711What''s that?
28711What''s the matter now?
28711What''s the matter? 28711 What''s this?"
28711What''s this?
28711What, Sir Tristram, is that the extent of your love for me?
28711What, Sir Walther seeks me in singing school?
28711What, as your servants?
28711What, never?
28711What, not a word for me?
28711What, not even the great Duke if he should come to inquire for you?
28711What, what is all this?
28711What, wo n''t she do, Sir Joseph?
28711What, ye speak thus to me, Wotan? 28711 What, you pretend that you can do better than Brander?"
28711What, you? 28711 What, you?
28711What-- a Polish soldier?
28711What-- does he not drink to the Emperor? 28711 What-- never?"
28711What-- the pretty girl I saw in the square? 28711 What-- what?"
28711What-- you do not favour Beckmesser, then?
28711What? 28711 What?
28711What?
28711What?
28711What?
28711What?
28711When I have died, where do I go?
28711Where are Brünnhilde and Gunther?
28711Where art thou, Ortrud?
28711Where do you go, my son?
28711Where does this pretty girl live, your Highness?
28711Where in the world did all of these things come from?
28711Where is now thy fine Loge?
28711Where is she?
28711Where is that strong sword you are to make for me?
28711Where is your home?
28711Which way shall we go?
28711Who are they?
28711Who are you?
28711Who art thou, intruder?
28711Who art thou, whose glances are so fierce? 28711 Who art thou?"
28711Who art thou?
28711Who art thou?
28711Who can shield thee from our father''s wrath, Brünnhilde?
28711Who has heard?
28711Who hath done this wicked thing?
28711Who is it?
28711Who is it?
28711Who is it?
28711Who is that youth, whose faltering feet with difficulty bear him on his course?
28711Who is that? 28711 Who is the Marker?"
28711Who is this man?
28711Who is this woman?
28711Who spoke?
28711Who told thee that? 28711 Who''s there?"
28711Who''s there?
28711Who''s there?
28711Whom have we here?
28711Whose house is this?
28711Why are you in this place?
28711Why did he turn away from us?
28711Why is my armour so heavy, and why does it hurt me so?
28711Why not have these things for thyself?
28711Why not swim down and torment him?
28711Why not? 28711 Why should he know it?
28711Why weep, Inez?
28711Why what should happen? 28711 Why, my child, what is wrong with it?
28711Will no one come? 28711 Will none of you let me finish my song, good friends?
28711Will you go with me?
28711Wilt answer me three questions?
28711Wilt give us the gold for Freïa?
28711Wilt thou not let the condemned prisoner live another day, your highness?
28711Wilt thou not rest, first?
28711With no escort? 28711 With thee-- when Wotan himself has tricked me?
28711Without consulting the Prophet?
28711Ye hear, do ye not, that we are banished?
28711Yes, yes-- where did he go?
28711Yes-- kind and good----"What if the Queen should hear of this?
28711Yet who dares affront the King or resist his will?
28711You are laughing?
28711You are that false rogue, the Spirit of Flame, then?
28711You do n''t care much about me, I should say?
28711You do n''t mean that this tender creature is to clean stables, brother?
28711You have heard-- that I may not sing to win thee?
28711You love me, father?
28711You mean truly, that I may use that song as I like?
28711You say so? 28711 You speak the truth?"
28711You think so? 28711 You think we will acknowledge him as heir to the estates of Huntingdon?
28711You? 28711 Young?"
28711Your daughter? 28711 _ Now_ see what you have done?"
28711(_ preparing to set his foot on the bridge, stops and turns round._) What plaints come hither to me?
28711... What, oh tell us did she see?
28711After a little she spoke words of comfort to Ortrud:"Hast thou no place to go this night?"
28711Alberich trembled with fear when an awful voice roared in answer:"Who wakes me from my sleep?"
28711All three became ill at ease, but the Princess called the slave girl to her, pretending great affection for her, and said:"Why do you weep, Aïda?
28711Am I governing this prison or are you?"
28711Am I to overwhelm these two with ruin because thy cruel Hunding has come to thee for help?
28711And is there not a maiden?"
28711And who but the God Wotan put the weapon there for thy deliverance?
28711Are n''t you nearly through?"
28711Are we too to leave home and country and fight a people who ne''er harmed us, because of this new comer?"
28711Are you certain of that?"
28711Are you not going to tell me?"
28711Are you on your way to church?"
28711Are you the beauty who is to teach me to be afraid?
28711At morning when she woke and gazed about her, Sorely stricken was she, And what sight do ye think did so confound her?
28711Being a gay little girl, she sang to pass the time:[ Music: Susy little Susy, pray what is the news?
28711But the old woman, surprised and confused at the turn things seemed to be taking, persisted:"How so?
28711But there, what''s grinning so there at me?
28711But when Gods, such as thou, misbehave, what can be expected of mere mortals?"
28711By the way, whom do you think that fellow to be?"
28711Can I do anything for you?"
28711Can you wish me greater ill than this, Princess?"
28711Did he succeed?"
28711Did it ever occur to you that beneath my gay exterior a fearful tragedy may be brewing?"
28711Did not Wotan give one of his to win his wife, Fricka?
28711Did ye not hire to us?
28711Did you hear that?"
28711Do I dream?
28711Do n''t you eat whenever the rest of us do?"
28711Do n''t you understand anything about this business?"
28711Do we not all grow younger?"
28711Do ye never think of that poor child Marguerite, lonely and far away, awaiting thee month after month?"
28711Do ye not hear that she raves about a lover?
28711Do you know anything more about that awful ogress?"
28711Do you not remember me?
28711Do you see that pretty girl?
28711Does n''t the entire universe depend on us for its existence?
28711Dost thou not know the story of the Rheingold?
28711Dost thou remember that many years ago-- fifteen-- a young child was stolen from a noble, by one of thy people?"
28711Eh?
28711Elsa, can you who are so happy, speak harshly to one so forlorn and deserted?
28711Finding him gone and seeing di Luna,"Where hast thou taken him?"
28711Fleet of foot, and clad with neatness, Come and let the master choose; Sweet of temper, all discreetness, Who a prize like this would lose?
28711Florestan?
28711From yourselves have I not heard That he''s fiercer than the pard?
28711Good day to you-- have you any more of that famous wine?"
28711Good- bye?"
28711Hast thou no feeling?
28711Hast thou not a wife, Gunther-- why hast thou none?"
28711Have I not tended thee as my own, and loved thee?"
28711Have you ears?
28711He fell in battle; have you not heard?"
28711He made this known without any help, by singing: Is no succour near at hand?
28711How about that medallion of mine which you have on your neck?
28711How are we to lure him hither?"
28711How can he return and tell Zuniga''s men what has happened?
28711How have you purchased my freedom?"
28711How on earth is a man to make a choice with such confusion all about him?"
28711How thick is the cream?"
28711How, then, would you forge your precious rings?"
28711I am repulsed?
28711I ask her, before thee all, if she will entrust to me her fame?"
28711I declare that I have spoken truly, and who will dare give me the lie?"
28711I find it a very fine fit?"
28711I want to go in----""To see Escamillo----""Why not-- since I love him----""How is that?"
28711I wish the Prince at all the devils; For death nowise I search; What if, to crown my many evils, He should leave me in the lurch?
28711I would find that out from thee; and may I ask who gives me shelter?"
28711I would go if it were not for love of him, but how can I leave him?"
28711If I ever should need thee, where could I address thee?"
28711If the wagoner knew of this, what do you think he would do?"
28711If you will take me along with you as one of you, I may stand a chance of escaping with my life-- what do you say?"
28711In return for a paltry bearskin give to you a ring which I gained in battling with the Dragon?"
28711Is it Rigoletto?"
28711Is it a phantom?
28711Is our Lord, Gunther, in danger?"
28711Is that thy only reason for being lonely?
28711Is the man dead, already, Rocco?"
28711Is there anything new under the sun?
28711Is there no hope?"
28711Is this your taste?"
28711It is Martha----""Yes, is this not enough to prove to thee that I am ready to renounce my rank and station for thee?
28711Know ye not the fate that has overtaken you?"
28711Let us tell our fortunes, eh?"
28711May I not go into the dungeon and look about?"
28711May he count upon the loyalty of all?"
28711My ear caught not the clock''s last chime, And might I beg to ask the time?
28711My friend, whom I have so long believed was dead?
28711Nibble, nibble, mousekin, Who''s nibbling at my housekin?
28711Not in prison?"
28711Now come, old babbler, is this the thing that is to teach me fear-- this thing that spits a bit and lashes about with a clumsy old tail?"
28711Now for thyself?"
28711Now what do you think?--that I can serve you?"
28711Now what is going to happen?"
28711Now what was to be done?
28711Oh where is band so jolly As Robin''s band in their Lincoln green?
28711Oh, bitter is my cup, However could I do it?
28711Pray tell me what you would do in your underground caverns with your forges and smithies if I were to deny you my flame?
28711Pray what do the people know about art?
28711Pray, who ever saw the Queen of the Night?"
28711Put him in chains, my boys,"he says to the rest of the crew,"and Captain-- have you such a thing as a dungeon on board?"
28711Rossini summed up Mozart very properly:"Who is the greatest musician in the world?"
28711See him fishing about in every corner for her?
28711Shall I do the job at once, or wait a bit?"
28711Shall I go with them, or shall I once more wander, flickering, dancing, wavering, glancing-- a Spirit of Flame that shall destroy while others build?"
28711Shall it be wealth, or fame?--what shall it be?
28711Shall it not be so?"
28711Shall this be so?"
28711She shall not be forced; and who sings so well as you?"
28711She started up:"He is coming here-- I shall see him?"
28711Should she let her brother kill him or not?
28711Siegfried knew nothing of gold and power, and so, why should he not willingly hand the treasure over to the Mime?
28711Since I am a wolf''s son, who will believe that I have loving thoughts?"
28711Sir Marker?
28711Sir Tristram?
28711Surely those shoes of yours do not give you trouble so soon?"
28711Surely you can spare a sad and despairing heart?
28711Tell me, stranger, where roams thy father, now?"
28711Tell me, then: What race does Wotan the War- god favour?"
28711That is where the shoe pinches, eh?
28711The cobbler has leather and plenty to spare, Why ca n''t he make the poor goose a new pair?]
28711The fair is on at Richmond----""Well-- it is always on, is n''t it?"
28711The little black villain looked gloatingly upon it; then turning to Wotan and Loge he asked:"What are ye doing in my domain?"
28711Then Alberich, becoming himself again shouted,"Now will you doubt?"
28711Then addressing the little manikin,"Do not hurt us, sir-- and will you tell us who you are?"
28711Then for to- day thou shalt go free-- the bear can eat thee another day?"
28711Then putting his hands to his mouth, he called loudly:"Who''s there?"
28711Then she whispered:"Who cometh?"
28711Then to Hans:"But tell me, dear Hans, was there not one who was his friend?
28711Then who shall find me when I sleep?"
28711There was confusion among the spectators who said among themselves:"Whose wife can Brünnhilde be?"
28711They are going to have a torch- light procession, eh?"
28711They no longer dared carry matters with a high hand, and yet how could they spin?
28711They were speaking in the road:"Do you still love the Duke, my child?"
28711Thinkest thou I go to thy Walhall without Sieglinde?
28711This sounded rather gay, and, before he knew it, Hänsel had joined in: Eia popeia, pray what''s to be done?
28711Tho''the icy wind may blow, Let it rain or let it snow, What in the world care I?]
28711Thou art here?"
28711Thou art looking for miscreants, thou art looking for revenge?
28711Thou darest deride me?
28711Thou darest----""To fight thee?
28711Thou hast no friend in all the world, so when you sleep who shall guard the ring?"
28711Thou who wert the friend of the oppressed, who tried to bring to punishment this very wretch?"
28711Was he going mad?
28711Was there ever so droll a situation?
28711Well, what''s your name, mam?"
28711Wert thou not told to go far away from this place, where you tried so hard to wrong me?"
28711What about it?
28711What about me, pray?
28711What are you here for, Santuzza?
28711What art thou doing here?
28711What blow has served to break thee?
28711What chance has one like you-- a slave-- beside a princess like me?
28711What do they know of the singing master''s rules?
28711What do you charge to kill a noble?"
28711What do you think?
28711What do you want up here?"
28711What does he want here, I should like to know?"
28711What does she mean?"
28711What has happened?
28711What have you done?
28711What have you done?"
28711What if it should be heard of at court?"
28711What if ye got going and could n''t stop?"
28711What in the world can a man do, in such a fix?"
28711What is a''scholar?"
28711What is happening?"
28711What is the use of such as I continuing to live?
28711What is this wicked woman doing here beside thee?"
28711What is to be done?"
28711What is your real name?
28711What lies on her saddle?"
28711What may that be?"
28711What must I sing?"
28711What screams?
28711What shall we do now?"
28711What shall we do?
28711What shall we do?"
28711What shall we do?"
28711What should I do with solder?"
28711What wilt thou, my dear?"
28711What would Costa, autocratic, severe, and quick to take offence, say to such a message delivered by a stage hand?
28711What''s glimmering there in the darkness?
28711What, think you I am a fool?
28711When those two had been united in holy wedlock----?"
28711Where are his lands?
28711Where are the children?"
28711Where can we have got to?
28711Where is the beautiful Gutrune?"
28711Where is this fine sword?
28711Where''s the Duke?
28711Whereupon the crew, which is very punctilious where the truth is concerned, cries:"What, never?"
28711Which of us here has that?"
28711Who are these?"
28711Who are you?"
28711Who is that prisoner?"
28711Who is there who would do that?"
28711Who says so, since I say otherwise?"
28711Who wants her?"
28711Who was my mother, dear father?"
28711Who will hire her?"
28711Who would betray so gentle and trusting a maid?"
28711Who would give them a thought?"
28711Who''ll give me milk and sugar, for bread I have none?
28711Whom seekest thou, hero?"
28711Whom shall we fight?
28711Why are you forever bringing the family name into some ill- sounding affair?"
28711Why are you still awake?
28711Why did ye not kill the young Count when ye fought?"
28711Why do n''t you do as father does-- laugh and make the best of it?"
28711Why does n''t the cook send me some flowers-- or maybe the hostler-- somebody, something new?
28711Why is it not weighty business to- day?
28711Why should Wotan not have the treasure for himself?
28711Why should he not become one of us?"
28711Why should this youth have the most beautiful maiden for a wife, and also a golden treasure that gives him power over us all?"
28711Will that suit you?"
28711Will you give me shelter?"
28711Wilt thou not pity me a little?"
28711Wilt thou not tell me the secret if there is one?"
28711Would he not prevent it?
28711Would not the ring and the treasure of the Rhein thus come into the hands of the Gibichungs?"
28711Wouldst thou take it in exchange for Freïa?"
28711You are still at work?"
28711You ca n''t go back to your company, eh?"
28711You vagabonds-- have you seen anything of a stranger who has passed this way?"
28711You want to fight?
28711You''re hired, do you understand?
28711You''ve got the girl, José?"
28711Your daughter?"
28711[ Music: Ah why recall in misery, What tempests dread have moved me?
28711_ Do_ you suppose we have her fast?"
28711_ Scene III_"Thou sly and slippery knave,"Alberich began pleasantly to address the Mime;"thou wouldst have the ring and the gold, eh?"
28711_ Scene II_"Which is the son of the Gibich?"
28711_ Scene II_"Who art thou?"
28711art thou wounded?"
28711do ye hear nothing?"
28711do you hear that noise in the bushes?
28711do you see her?
28711dost see three strange figures coming along there?"
28711must I lead you?"
28711my own, dear son?"
28711the Prophet is thou?
28711the wife inquired,"and why do you take the broom?"
28711what are you about?"
28711what goings on are these?"
28711who is John?"
28711you wo n''t attend to business?"
27265A gigantic dragon I slew for the ring, and I am to part with it in exchange for the paws of a worthless bear?
27265Already I feel the night of death closing around me, and must I be forced back into life? 27265 Am I alive?..."
27265Am I in the way?
27265Am I, dwarf, in the second instance still to retain my head?
27265Among what heathen have you lived, not to be aware that this is the most holy Good- Friday? 27265 And I would endure it, do you think?
27265And how, my good fellow, shall you accomplish this?
27265And was your father indeed Wolf?
27265And what enemy?
27265And what may the great thing be,the dull august shrew inquires,"that a hero can do which the gods can not, through whose grace alone a hero acts?...
27265And what, Hagen, are we to do after that?
27265And when we have slaughtered the animals, what shall we do?
27265And you I ask, Elsa von Brabant, will you entrust your cause to a champion who shall fight for you under the judgment of God?
27265And you brought away no part of it?
27265And you took from the Hort nothing further?
27265Are we all here?
27265Are you asleep, Hagen, my son? 27265 Are you at your post?
27265Are you concerned for that?
27265Are you not afraid? 27265 Are you not one?"
27265Are you so niggardly?... 27265 Are you the one who killed the swan?"
27265Are you then dead?
27265As a foe? 27265 Ay,--why should you so particularly care?"
27265Beloved, where are your thoughts?
27265But can you not see, there is no more gold?
27265But how, Loge, should I learn the art to shape it?
27265But is he not, by reason of his perjury, reserved for my spear?
27265But my mother spoke the name?
27265But the Serpent- Worm which you slew, a fearsome fellow, was he not?
27265But this drink...falters the appalled girl,"for whom?"
27265But where loiters,he is inquiring,"the one whom God sent to the glory, the greatness of Brabant?"
27265But,remarks Wotan,"of what use is all that wealth in cheerless Nibelheim, where there is nothing to buy?"
27265Can you understand, too, the croaking of these ravens?
27265Dare you to mock me?
27265Dear little Eva, are you making a fool of me?
27265Did I not say so? 27265 Did I order you to fight for the Wälsung?"
27265Did I say anything of the sort?
27265Did my fate, sister, allure you? 27265 Did you gather anything from that torrent of words?"
27265Did you hear his affectionate greeting?
27265Did you hear nothing? 27265 Did you mean the name you spoke for me, who have no name?"
27265Do I find you in this hall which for so long time you have avoided? 27265 Do you acknowledge me as your rightful judge?"
27265Do you ask? 27265 Do you believe so?"
27265Do you doubt my heart?
27265Do you feign not to understand me?
27265Do you forget your mother''s magic? 27265 Do you hear it?"
27265Do you imagine it? 27265 Do you know that road?"
27265Do you know what it is Wotan wills? 27265 Do you know,"he asks further,"whereof you are accused?"
27265Do you not know my wish, when the dread of fulfilling it has kept you afar from my glance?
27265Do you see it, friends,--do you not see it?
27265Do you see me?
27265Do you swear it to me, Hagen, my hero?
27265Does it strike you as judicious?
27265Elsa, have you perfectly understood?
27265Erik, what is it?
27265For you I shall go to this trouble?
27265Friendly bird, I ask you now: will you assist my quest for a good comrade? 27265 Ha, child, dear Evchen, out so late?
27265Ha? 27265 Hagen, what have you done?"
27265Has he broken his word? 27265 Has not a shoe- maker his fill of troubles?"
27265Have you a daughter?
27265Have you finished? 27265 Have you met the ship on the seas,"sings Senta,"blood- red of sail and black of mast?
27265Have you really?
27265Have you taken leave of your senses... with you bond?
27265Heinrich, you?... 27265 Here, in this chair?"
27265Hopelessly, you say? 27265 Horn in hand,--what then?"
27265How dare you venture here, in danger as you are from the hand of every churl?
27265How did my father look?
27265How have I endured it?
27265How now, my lord, what is this you say? 27265 How shall I contrive to teach him fear?"
27265How shall I reward you for so much kindness, powerless and destitute as I am? 27265 How should you have received the ring from him?"
27265How then shall his followers further help him?
27265How you got here? 27265 How-- how could you commit such a wrong?"
27265How? 27265 How?...
27265I am come to look on, not to act,Wotan replies, grandly mild and unruffled;"who shall deny me a wanderer''s right of way?"
27265I ask you, therefore, Friedrich, Count von Telramund, will you, in life and death combat, entrust your cause to the judgment of God?
27265I hear you, harassed spirit; what message have you for my sleep?
27265If Evchen''s voice can strike out the candidate, of what use to me is my supremacy as a master?
27265If I rightly recognise the power,he speaks,"which has brought you to this land, you come to us sent by God?"
27265If I utter it aloud, shall I not be loosing the grasp of my will?
27265If it is an art, why am I unacquainted with it? 27265 If, of your graciousness, you call yourself happy, do you not give to me too the very happiness of Heaven?
27265In the hall of Walhalla shall I find none but the Father of Battles?
27265In the solitary forest, where I lived quiet and at peace, what had I done to you,Ortrud upbraids,"what had I done to you?
27265In what can you fail,speaks Siegfried''s brisk assurance,"if I stand by you?"
27265In what direction shall I go?
27265Is he in trouble? 27265 Is he pursued by the hostile kindred of the maid?"
27265Is it a practical joke you are playing on me? 27265 Is it already the slayer of the dragon?"
27265Is it the effect of tasting the blood?
27265Is it truly yourself?
27265Is she dreaming?
27265Is that your hand?
27265Is this insolence?
27265Is this your manner of hastening to set aright the evil bargain concluded by you?
27265Kurwenal... is it you? 27265 May I not rather go as your groom''s- man?
27265Might not a widower be successful?
27265Mr. Marker, how are you getting on?
27265Must I live?
27265My Kurwenal, you faithful friend, whose loyalty knows no wavering, how shall Tristan ever thank you? 27265 No weapon then can hurt him?"
27265Now where have you barbarian lived,they reply,"never to have heard of the Rhine- gold?"
27265Now, where, Mime, is your loving mate, that I may call her mother?
27265Oh, Elsa, what have you done to me? 27265 Oh, tell me, what shall your child do?"
27265Shall I in Walhalla be greeted gladsomely by a woman?
27265Shall I in Walhalla find Wälse, my own father?
27265Shall I see you again?
27265Shall I see you again?
27265Shall such a braggart go on bragging? 27265 Shall we descend through the Rhine?"
27265Shall we see whether neighbour Sachs be at home? 27265 She is a shrew, no doubt?...
27265Siegfried, winged hero, whence do you come so fast?
27265Siegfried?... 27265 So little do you care for eternal joy?"
27265So you are meditating harm to me?
27265Tell me, Elsa, what have you to impart to me?
27265That curious little bird there, hark, what is he saying to me?
27265That she should open her eyes?
27265The Rhine- daughters, then,speaks wicked Loge,"may look to have their prayer granted?"
27265The Rhine- daughters?
27265The breast heaves with the swelling breath, shall I break the cramping corslet?
27265The danger then is past? 27265 The master- singer?..."
27265The people?... 27265 The reef?..."
27265The ring? 27265 The ring?...
27265The ring?...
27265The stern one has not forgiven? 27265 The sword?..."
27265Then do you tell us, how?...
27265Then it is not far from the world?
27265Then, I ask you, what was my father''s name?
27265This is the place where I am to learn fear?
27265This ring?...
27265Those who threatened me were wicked? 27265 To me-- this?
27265To share the tumult which, insensate, possesses you? 27265 To the Rhine- daughters, I, this ring?
27265Tristan, my lord, are you mocking me? 27265 Tristan, shall I obtain amends?
27265We are not expecting any guest, are we?
27265What I do not own, I shall bestow upon you shameless louts?
27265What about fear?
27265What ails me, coward? 27265 What am I to do?"
27265What am I to think?
27265What are you laughing at me? 27265 What are you prating?"
27265What concern of Master Sachs''s is it on what sort of feet I go? 27265 What delusion is this?
27265What do I see? 27265 What do we see?"
27265What do you require?
27265What do you trouble me with them?
27265What do you want this very day of the sword?
27265What does it matter to you that I should sing? 27265 What does the woman mean?"
27265What dreadful charge is this you bring?
27265What have I heard?
27265What have you to reply to the accusation?
27265What is it, you sleek ones,he asks in awed curiosity,"glancing and gleaming up there?"
27265What is that you say, Wolfram? 27265 What is that?
27265What is that?
27265What is the matter?
27265What is this?
27265What is your name?
27265What makes you look like that?
27265What more do I want? 27265 What the master can not do,"Siegfried aptly retorts,"the apprentice might, if he had always minded him?
27265What was I dreaming,he falters,"of Tristan''s honour?"
27265What was I dreaming,she wonderingly asks,"of indignities to Isolde?"
27265What was my mother''s name?
27265What will you give us, Siegfried, if we find your game for you?
27265What would King Mark say if I were to slay his best servant, the most faithful of his retainers, who won for him crown and land? 27265 What''s this?...
27265What, dear heart, have you so long been concealing from me? 27265 What?
27265What? 27265 What?"
27265What?... 27265 When she had born me, wherefore did she die?
27265Where am I?
27265Where are we?
27265Where are you? 27265 Where do you come from?"
27265Where do you conceal the ring,Brünnhilde presses him,"which you robbed from me?"
27265Where is his lair?
27265Where were my eyes? 27265 Where you are?
27265Wherefore to me this hell which no heaven can deliver me from? 27265 Wherefore?"
27265Which is the son of Gibich?
27265Whither Tristan now departs, will you, Isolde, follow him? 27265 Who I am?"
27265Who are you, dreadful one? 27265 Who are you, tell me, appearing to me, so beautiful and grave?"
27265Who bade you seek the rock? 27265 Who calls me?
27265Who directed you here?
27265Who disturbs my sleep?
27265Who enters the lists as a candidate? 27265 Who is it that has forced his way to me?"
27265Who is the Grail?
27265Who is this unparalleled champion?
27265Who is your father?
27265Who prevented him from beholding the glory of the Grail?
27265Who slew him, whom God Himself held in His care?
27265Who went out?... 27265 Who will match his life against mine?"
27265Who, then, is to be the bridegroom?
27265Whom do you bring, with tokens of mourning, in the dark casket?
27265Whom do you choose for your champion?
27265Whom do you mean?
27265Why did you not help us at that time?
27265Why do I suffer such a mean report of myself? 27265 Why does the horn sound?
27265Why should I, after all? 27265 Why, surely, the Knight?"
27265Why, why, what is that we hear? 27265 Why,"it occurs to Siegfried,"did not you, Hagen, join in the oath?"
27265With broken weapon the coward has fled?
27265Would her glance not blind me? 27265 You all heard,"he proceeds, steeled to severity,"how she promised me never to ask who I am?
27265You find me in straits myself, how should I help others?
27265You have a mind to fresh wine, have you not? 27265 You have it no doubt in safe keeping?"
27265You know me, childish elf? 27265 You know nothing about it, and you are thinking of going from the woods out into the world?
27265You repulsing me?
27265You sing the praise of my love, and wish at the same time to flee from it? 27265 You surely are not having any more trouble with the shoes?"
27265You wanted to come to us? 27265 You were sunk quite under the seat,"laughs Siegfried;"what of great importance did you discover there?"
27265You will keep your hand from the treasure?
27265You will take away then the victory from Siegmund?
27265Your work?
27265(_ Machst mir blauen Dunst?_ Are you blinding me with blue haze?)
27265(_ Machst mir blauen Dunst?_ Are you blinding me with blue haze?)
27265(_ Neidliches Schwert_ is literally"covetable sword") Why must you of old be shattered?
27265--"A beautiful song, and a master- song, how am I to seize the distinction between them?"
27265--"A knight?
27265--"Afflict your heart?..."
27265--"All- merciful God,"exclaims Elsa,"What is the meaning of this?"
27265--"Am I in Cornwall?"
27265--"Am I to bid him come and offer his duty?"
27265--"And I?..."
27265--"And if I should please my audience?"
27265--"And suppose I made use of it?"
27265--"And the other?"
27265--"And yet you are to wear them to- morrow as a bride?"
27265--"And you will give me such a one?"
27265--"And you wish to become a master, off- hand, like that?"
27265--"Are you a poet?"
27265--"Are you a singer?"
27265--"Are you gone mad?"
27265--"Are you moved at last,"he asks kindly,"to open your heart to me?"
27265--"At the instep?"
27265--"At the singing- school, do you mean?"
27265--"Because I used to be fond of carrying you in my arms?"
27265--"Because for an hour I forgot my proper worth,"Radbot''s daughter continues violently,"do you think that I am fit only to crawl before you?
27265--"But my sufferings, Senta, do they no longer move you?"
27265--"But our wind?"
27265--"But the Day must rouse Tristan?"
27265--"But what?
27265--"But yet, suppose your dream contained the magic spell by which you might win over the guild?"
27265--"But you have at least been a''school- frequenter''and a''pupil?''"
27265--"Can I keep from my face the compassion I feel?"
27265--"Can you tell us whether his lineage, his nobility, be well attested?
27265--"Come,"replies Pogner sensibly,"if you have no hopes of the daughter''s regard, how do you come to enter the lists as her suitor?"
27265--"Could he betray me?
27265--"Day- break shall never more frighten us apart?"
27265--"Did I not know it?"
27265--"Did you not see him to- day?"
27265--"Do I understand aright,"asks Kothner;"that we are placed in the hands of the young lady?
27265--"Do you ask me?"
27265--"Do you come as friend or foe?"
27265--"Do you threaten me?
27265--"Don''t you know?
27265--"Elsa, is my voice so strange to you?
27265--"Elsa, what are you daring to do?"
27265--"For him who betrayed me!"--"Tristan?"
27265--"For what reason?"
27265--"From Sachs, perhaps?"
27265--"Give it up?...
27265--"Hans Sachs, my friend?"
27265--"He failed?..."
27265--"Here, at the left?"
27265--"Ho, ho, from finches and tomtits you acquired the art of master- singing?"
27265--"How can you know then that I am to be a bride?"
27265--"How could I prevent it,"says Sachs, not upset apparently by the fearful thought,"if he is successful?
27265--"How did I get here?"
27265--"How is that?"
27265--"How should I know?"
27265--"How should I tie you to me?"
27265--"I may sing it, then?"
27265--"I suppose you call it a biblical lay?"
27265--"I worked on your shoes until late at night,"Sachs disingenuously replies;"is that the sort of consideration one shows an enemy?"
27265--"If you fail, there is still left the expedient of violence."--"Violence?"
27265--"Must the Day rouse Tristan?"
27265--"My flocks?..."
27265--"Nay, did you not hear?
27265--"Nay, it is you, why do you torture me?
27265--"No, the heel."--"What?"
27265--"Not in the contest?
27265--"Of my fathers?"
27265--"Of what, in God''s name, do you accuse me?"
27265--"Oh, Senta,"he goes on, subdued by her shocked amazement, sorrowfully to explain the simple rhetoric of his misstatement,"will you deny it?
27265--"Or perhaps a widower?"
27265--"Ortrud, is it you?
27265--"Say,"the girls continue addressing the unresponding crew,"have you no sweethearts on land?
27265--"Shall I awake?"
27265--"Should I not be moved by the terrible doom of that unhappiest man?"
27265--"Tell us what is implied by your return?"
27265--"The pennant?...
27265--"The ship?...
27265--"The shoe- maker?..."
27265--"Then you have not been?...
27265--"To what land?"
27265--"Unhappy woman?..."
27265--"Was she not yours, whose elect you were?
27265--"We will brave then the threats of the Day?"
27265--"Well, then?"
27265--"Were you not present at the holy festival?"
27265--"What can justify such a hope?"
27265--"What did you swear, lady?"
27265--"What do you mean, too old?
27265--"What do you mean?"
27265--"What do you mean?"
27265--"What do you think, masters,"inquires Kothner, upon this hopeless revelation,"shall I proceed with the questions?
27265--"What does it matter about me?"
27265--"What draught do you mean?"
27265--"What else so meet?
27265--"What enormous difficulty does the matter present?"
27265--"What frightens you so?"
27265--"What have you in mind?"
27265--"What high duty?
27265--"What is it?"
27265--"What is it?"
27265--"What is it?"
27265--"What is it?"
27265--"What is that?"
27265--"What is the good?
27265--"What king?"
27265--"What land?"
27265--"What man is that?"
27265--"What manner of man are you?"
27265--"What other road can we take?"
27265--"What road do you mean?"
27265--"What should I know?"
27265--"What was it then that brought you back?"
27265--"What would you give to know?
27265--"What would your answer be?"
27265--"What, Sachs?
27265--"What, so unconditionally?
27265--"What, the Marker?
27265--"What--"the sick man asks after a vague glance,"what was the sound I heard?"
27265--"Where am I?"
27265--"Who is it?
27265--"Who is the Marker?"
27265--"Who lied?"
27265--"Why exactly alike?"
27265--"Will you renounce your extravagant imaginings?"
27265--"Woe, what have you done?"
27265--"Yes,"Sachs owns, amused;"Was that it?"
27265--"You acknowledge then your guilt?"
27265--"You believe so?
27265--"You bestow the sheet on me then outright?"
27265--"You see?
27265--"You shrink from me?"
27265--"You shrink from the wound which yourself you made, the madness of love you inspired?
27265--"You would be glad of a mistress in the house?"
27265--"You, lost to me?"
27265--"Younger than I, too?...
27265--"_Ach_, master,"she exclaims,"do you know better than I where my shoe pinches me?"
27265--Not a god, Wotan?--"What are you come, wild and turbulent spirit, to disturb the Wala''s sleep?
27265... Are you flowers?"
27265A burning chill shakes your frame, your senses swim and fail; the alarmed heart trembling in your breast hammers to the point of bursting?
27265A murmur runs through the assembly:"What ails her?
27265A shepherd looks over the wall and, after a moment watching, calls to Kurwenal, asking if_ he_ does not yet awake?
27265After that, how dare he trust her?
27265Alberich turns an angry eye upon the intruders:"What do you want?"
27265Already at work?"
27265Am I misled by a dream?
27265Am I never to hear them, never to see them more?"
27265Am I not from any one of you to have a hearing?"
27265Amazement reigns among master- singers and people:"A song of Sachs''s?
27265And do you make it into a reproach to him?
27265And do you now haughtily demand precedence of me, you, the wife of a man convicted by God?"
27265And do you, finding no mercy anywhere, come seeking love now in my arms?"
27265And have I understood at last what it is you want of me?...
27265And how can he, poor belaboured wretch, find the necessary peace of mind to compose a new one?
27265And if my heart breaks with its misery, tell me, Senta, who is there will speak a word for me?"
27265And if through him you are to we d Mark, how should you find fault with the choice?
27265And is not your neighbour to have something too?
27265And is that what will be Brünnhilde''s prophesied world- delivering act?
27265And music is shed from this luminous ascending form...."Am I alone to hear it?"
27265And shall I see the daughter this very day?"
27265And she speaks, to herself, half- aloud:"Have I sunk into a wonderful dream?
27265And the raw boy, acquitting himself rather neatly for such a beginner:"Ought I not to have beaten them?
27265And this, who could conquer it back?
27265And was he admitted?"
27265And what does this teach-- but that one must be great?
27265And when in his effort to grasp the situation exactly he continues asking questions, she answers his interrogative:"The bride then chooses?..."
27265And you, Senta, how should I count upon you?
27265Approach me not with ardent approach.... Constrain me not with shattering constraint.... Have you not seen your own image in the clear stream?
27265Are the liquor and the feast to be solely for you?"
27265Are they your eyes?
27265Are they your lips?
27265Are they_ good runes_ which I read in her eye?..."
27265Are you a bird or a fox?"
27265Are you a mortal?
27265Are you afraid of a song, a picture?"
27265Are you alone?"
27265Are you asleep and deaf to my voice, whom sleep and rest have forsaken?"
27265Are you mad?"
27265Are you not coming on board yourselves?"
27265Are you not my enemy?"
27265Are you planning flight?
27265Are you so bold as, unabsolved, to have let your feet take the road to this region?"
27265Are you there?...
27265Are you, too, a flower in this garden of flowers?"
27265As he revives a little, he asks faintly:"Shall I be taken to- day to Amfortas?"
27265As he said in answer to Kothner, what should be put into his song unless the essence of all he had known and lived?
27265As he turns to the door she detains him with the quick cry:"What pursues you, that you should thus flee?"
27265As she is moving towards the hut, he asks:"Have you no word for me?
27265At the end of the second verse, the masters inquire of one another,"What does it mean?
27265At the greeting he speaks from the threshold to the"wise smith,"Mime starts up in affright:"Who is it, pursuing me into the forest wilderness?"
27265At the sound of Elsa''s voice calling:"Ortrud, where are you?"
27265At the spectacle of his emotion, Wolfram turns to the Landgrave:"Have I your leave, my lord, to be the herald to him of his good fortune?"
27265At this she recovers her voice to hurl at him startlingly:"I-- to Gunther?...
27265Because you are blind, do you believe the eyes of the world dulled to your actions and his?"
27265Before starting upon a new voyage, he is sure to wish to carry out what he so often has spoken of..."--"And what is that?"
27265Brünnhilde''s madness clamours to heaven:"Did you appoint this in your councils?
27265But how can you, Mime, bring it about?"
27265But how should I have promised to perform the impossible?"
27265But how should I hope to grasp that which struck me as illimitable?
27265But never should I be audacious to the point of boasting that so fine a song had been written by me, Hans Sachs."--"What?...
27265But she, how should she in this moment not promise whatever he asked or do whatever be required?
27265But speak, you went on the pilgrimage to Rome?"
27265But tell me the truth, old friend, what has happened to our master?"
27265But to- day, at her father''s"the master of your choice"she wistfully inquires,"Dear father,_ must_ it be a master?"
27265But you?
27265But,"How shall we find him?"
27265But,--he suddenly holds in, and puckers his forehead,--if this were a trap?
27265But-- may I ask what is the cargo of your ship?"
27265But... this information he desires of me-- How am I to say it?
27265Ca n''t you hear?"
27265Can I believe myself at last delivered from them, since I hear once more the rustle of this forest, and behold you, worthy elder?
27265Can I waken the bride?"
27265Can it be fact?"
27265Can it be that your secret is of such a nature that your lip must keep it from the whole world?
27265Can it be truth?
27265Can the voice of deepest pity deceive?
27265Can this be true, this which seems like the most madly impossible of beautiful dreams?
27265Can you fail to prize and honour the man?
27265Cast it from me?"
27265Certainly, he wrested a ring from this woman, in the twilight.... What became of it?...
27265Could I endure the light?..."
27265Could any doubt be more culpable than that which should disturb my faith in you?
27265Could anything be easier?
27265Could you forever give yourself to me?
27265Dare you lay hands on Gutrune''s inheritance?"
27265Did I not say she lived and knit me still to life?
27265Did he not find among the masters a single friend?"
27265Did he sing so badly, so faultily, that there is no possibility more of his becoming a master?"
27265Did not my hero overcome your husband by the power of God in singular combat?
27265Did you find rest?
27265Did you instruct him to some purpose?
27265Discontented so soon with being a god?
27265Do I deserve, Senta, such a welcome?"
27265Do I find you here?
27265Do I hear the light?"
27265Do I hold you close?
27265Do human mothers always die of their sons?
27265Do n''t you know that?"
27265Do our ears deceive us?"
27265Do you call your own cowardice God?"
27265Do you come from Hella''s army of the night?"
27265Do you create ignominy for me such as never was endured?
27265Do you dare to brave us?
27265Do you ever grant one of my requests?
27265Do you grudge me the dear sound of yours?
27265Do you hear?
27265Do you imagine that she, who ponders all things so sagely, has sent me void of counsel along with you to a strange land?"
27265Do you impose upon me sufferings such as never were suffered?
27265Do you intend to dream away your whole young life before that portrait?"
27265Do you know how this came to be?..."
27265Do you know what the fate is of that poor soul?"
27265Do you make no distinction between the night and the day?"
27265Do you need lights?
27265Do you not daily hurt and afflict my heart?"
27265Do you not hear jubilant music?"
27265Do you not hear me?...
27265Do you not know her power, her miracles?
27265Do you not know the Lady of Love?
27265Do you not know what holy day it is?"
27265Do you not recognise the castle of your fathers.?"
27265Do you not see her yet?...
27265Do you not see it?...
27265Do you not smell exquisite odours?...
27265Do you not wish to come and dance on the friendly shore?"
27265Do you punish me so with ruthless sentence?
27265Do you refuse to drink to our peace- making?"
27265Do you refuse to remember that day when you called me to you in the valley?
27265Do you remember how from the steep rocks on the shore we watched your father departing?
27265Do you see her again?"
27265Do you see her self?"
27265Do you see her?...
27265Do you see not the light?...
27265Do you shut your heart to my complaint?...
27265Do you wish to make me really cross?"
27265Do you wish to question me?"
27265Do you wish to waken my father?
27265Do you, in such stress of weather, deny me anchorage?"
27265Does his lordship,"to Walther,"choose a sacred subject?"
27265Earnestly she asks this other guest:"Is your name in very truth Wehwalt?"
27265Elizabeth?
27265Elsa shrinks back a little, murmuring,"Disaster?"
27265Everything looks changed....""What road is it you seek?"
27265Fine?...
27265First: What race reigns in the depths of the earth?
27265For a full year he has been learning, and how far does Walther suppose he has got?
27265From the world which for me contains her only, how should Isolde have departed?"
27265From whence the river brought him and whither he will go when he leaves?
27265Go then and ask himself, the presumably free man, whether he dare to venture near me?
27265God knows how it all came about?"
27265Good care have you taken of a young fellow-- not so?--who cunningly shall pluck the fruit which you dare not yourself break off?"
27265Gunther''s mediocrity and his sense of it stand ingenuously confessed in his question:"Is my courage sufficient for the test?"
27265Gurnemanz approaches him hopefully:"Well, did you understand what you saw?"
27265Gutrune catches her breath:"Deceit?..."
27265Gutrune''s husband?"
27265Had it not been that which was forcing tears from him at the moment of the Wanderer''s arrival?
27265Had you ever seen us before?"
27265Hardly might such music come from_ her!_"--"Who are you, pilgrim, wandering thus alone?"
27265Has Wotan''s disposition softened toward me?
27265Has a water- sprite bothered you?...
27265Has he gone mad?
27265Has he lost his senses?
27265Has he smirched Gunther''s honour?"
27265Has he so soon forgotten the old unhappiness?
27265Has it not gladdened you, glad one?
27265Has the world condemned and rejected you?
27265Has your ship sustained damage?"
27265Have I Wotan''s oath?"
27265Have I here your hand?
27265Have I here your heart?
27265Have I hit the mark?
27265Have I the hardihood?
27265Have I waked for this?
27265Have you come to pasture your sight upon my bliss, to share that which has befallen me?"
27265Have you fallen into the unrest of doubt?
27265Have you finished?
27265Have you never been to a song- trial?"
27265Have you no letters, no commissions for shore?
27265Have you succumbed to the curse?"
27265Haye you forgotten so soon?
27265He drops privately to Hagen his interpretation of the friend''s gloom:"Brünnhilde is giving him trouble?"
27265He goes quietly to the woman and asks:"What trouble burdens Brünnhilde''s gaze?"
27265He has come forth victorious from the encounter?"
27265He is stopped by the Wanderer''s voice:"Whither, boy, does your way lead you?"
27265He is willing to win an advantage by a deception, let him follow his head, why should honest Sachs be tender of him?
27265He tries by questions to complete the dwarf''s bare account:"Whence am I named Siegfried?"
27265He turns quickly, inquiring naïvely,"Do you mean me?"
27265He turns upon her a vaguely pleased wonder:"Who is afraid of me?
27265He watches them, smiling, and replies in their own vein:"Have you charmed into your dwellings the shaggy fellow who disappeared from my sight?
27265He, too?...
27265Heartbreak much more than resentment stamps Brünnhilde''s cry:"Where is my wisdom against this enigma?
27265Heinrich, Heinrich, what had you done to me?"
27265Her heart- broken murmur:"Siegfried.... knows me not?"
27265Here is one who does not know fear; can he learn it from you?"
27265Here shall you never prevail!--Tell me, Elsa,"he bends over her tearful face,"tell me that she tried vainly to drop her venom into your heart?"
27265Here we are with our weapons.... Hagen, what danger threatens?
27265Hey, David, are n''t you coming?"
27265His sword was well- tested and was feared-- But yours, tell me, who that is present knows him?
27265His voice comes very faint:"The ancient tune.... what does it wake me?"
27265His voice is heard, faint, from his hiding- place:"Is it you, child?
27265How can this be an agent of Heaven''s at all?
27265How can you ask?
27265How can you stultify yourself till you neither can see nor hear?
27265How come they in my house?"
27265How could I suppose it was a source of affliction to you?"
27265How could I, poor wretch, believe that my faithful devotion would suffice you?
27265How did you derive the meaning of his song?"
27265How did you know what was weighing on my heart?"
27265How is it that after all the troubles between us you are to- day kindly disposed toward me?"
27265How shall I bring this fear to an end?
27265How shall I find the way to her rock?"
27265How shall I gain back my courage?
27265How shall he, Beckmesser, avoid a disappointment, a public defeat?
27265How should I avoid the realm which lies about the whole world?
27265How should I be able to attach Siegfried to me?"
27265How should you grasp it, unfeeling maid?
27265How then can I the most quickly spend and scatter all my strength and blood in gratitude to you?"
27265How then should it fare but ill with me?
27265How will he obtain the Ring for me?
27265How"--he faintly wails, with a beginning of restlessness--"how have I lost the sense of it?
27265How, in the brilliant light of the Day, how could Isolde be mine?"
27265How, my precious child, should you not care for them?
27265How, now, shall I hide my endangered head?
27265How, she asks him, very humanly, how could he do to her the thing he did, betray her as he had done, claim her for another, give her over to death?
27265How?..."
27265I am awake.... Who is the hero that has awakened me?"
27265I believe I have finally succeeded, eh?
27265I feel as if I were dreaming-- He wishes to know whether I am already betrothed?"
27265I gave him none.... Are you sure that is the one?"
27265I might, after a life of torment, find in your truth the long craved- for peace?"
27265I shall have something further to communicate to you then, a message which a certain person charged me with privately."--"Who?..
27265I speak rightly, do I not, in calling you lovely?"
27265I will avenge you on him who betrayed you....""On whom?..."
27265I would not fall upon them all, sword in hand?"
27265If I am chosen as your champion, will you without doubt or fear entrust yourself to my protection?"
27265If I should forsake the helm at this moment, how could I safely guide the keel to King Mark''s land?"
27265If Tristan then has betrayed me, am I to hope that my honour, which his treason has struck at, has been loyally defended by Melot?"
27265If he be protected by supernal power, of what use to you is your gallant sword?"
27265If it troubles you, how should it leave me untroubled?
27265If the master- singers''verdict then does not agree with hers, how is it to operate?"
27265If then you apply to the question a grateful mind: how can that art be of no account which holds such prizes?
27265If we punish her husband so, with what face shall we stand before her?"
27265If you are the wisest woman in the world, tell me now: how shall the god overcome that care?"
27265In Morold''s lifetime who had ventured to offer us such an affront?
27265In the cold hollow where you lay shivering, how would you have had light and cheering warmth, if Loge had never laughed for you?..."
27265In the silence of recollection which falls upon all, a voice is heard, as if from the grave:"My son Amfortas, are you at your post?"
27265Is Gunther in need of us?"
27265Is Gutrune awake?"
27265Is he among the pardoned?
27265Is he hard pressed by the foe?"
27265Is it I?
27265Is it a case for rejoicing?
27265Is it a delusion?
27265Is it chagrin to see the greyness of age creeping over Wotan?"
27265Is it no dream?
27265Is it no fancy?
27265Is it not a higher duty still to observe that which you once swore to me,--eternal constancy?"--"What?..."
27265Is it not holiday- time for you, too?"
27265Is it one whom verily she need fear?
27265Is it possible,"he cries despairingly,"that you do not see it yet?"
27265Is it possible?
27265Is it possible?
27265Is it the force of thy sighs which fills my sails?"
27265Is it the influence of the holy day?"
27265Is it true?"
27265Is it you again, unforgotten longing, driving me back to the light of the day?
27265Is it you, singing about love, grim wolf?
27265Is it you?
27265Is it your mind to disclaim all acquaintance with the wretch whom you have driven forth to exile and misery?"
27265Is my saying dark to you?
27265Is not he Tristan''s dearest friend?
27265Is not the best afforded by kitchen and cellar, cupboard and store- room, deserving of any gratitude whatever?"
27265Is she out of her mind?"
27265Is that the bearing of arrogance?
27265Is this fear?
27265Is this love?...
27265Is this my thanks for having waked you once more out of the sleep of death?"
27265Is this which I see an illusion?
27265Is your home here in the forest?..."
27265Isolde inquires, reached in her trance by the clamour;"Brangaene, what cry is that?"
27265It grows, it swells, it penetrates, uplifts.... And what is this enfolding her?
27265It is an answer, this enigmatic pledge, to her wistful question:"What have you to say to me?"
27265It is the soft purling of the fountain whose music comes so sweetly borne to us; how could I hear it, if hunting- horns were still blaring near by?
27265Its beam scorches the heart within my breast-- Gunther, what is your sister''s name?...
27265Joining the stranger ashore,"Who are you?"
27265Kothner passes thereupon to the question:"Of what master are you a disciple?"
27265Kothner proceeds without comment to the next question:"In what school did you learn to sing?"
27265Kurwenal, do you not see it?"
27265Let us see, now, what it attracts this time, whether a dear comrade will come to the call?"
27265Loge returning his attention to the gods, voices his amazement at the sight which meets him:"Am I deceived by a mist?
27265May he not be permitted, after the fight, to refresh the victor with a drink?
27265May they not also be hungering for redemption now?...
27265Melot steps forward and points at him:"You shall now tell me,"he speaks to Mark,"whether I rightfully accused him?
27265Melot?
27265Might he be a confederate of Melot''s?"
27265Mime becomes cross:"What has come over you, mad boy?
27265Mime watches him, and at this which looks like folly, can not restrain the exclamation:"What are you doing?
27265Murmurs fly from one to the other:"What?
27265Must I add more still to my overflowing praise?
27265Must I count the days during which I still may keep you?
27265Must I lend a hand?
27265Must I, indeed?...
27265Must I?"
27265Must she give up her hopes because of him?
27265My beauty, is it possible, has brought surfeit?"
27265My heart with its unchanging love, my humble fortune, my hunter''s luck, these things being all I have to offer, will not your father repulse me?
27265My sorrows, is it possible, have moved you to such deep compassion?"
27265Nay, but can you?"
27265No competition- song?"
27265No embrace?
27265No kiss?
27265No sooner has Magdalene caught sight of him than she becomes absent- minded, and when Eva urges,"What am I to tell him?
27265Nothing beside do you deem of high value?"
27265Now you see her in person, does she rightly please you?
27265Now, if I intend to offer myself as a suitor for her to- morrow, can you not see how I might be destroyed by her not taking kindly to my song?
27265Now, if the Marker go on lover''s feet, how should he not yield to the temptation of bringing a rival to derision before the assembled school?"
27265Now, what is wrong with it?"
27265Of great lineage and gentle nature, where is his equal in power and splendour?
27265Of what avail to me is the treasure?
27265Of what use to you would be the strongest sword, if you had no knowledge of fear?...
27265Oh, eternal sleep, only balm, how, how shall I win you?"
27265Oh, tell me, how long is it that I hear them no more?
27265Oh, when, pale sea- farer, when shall you find her?
27265Open your eyes.... Who sealed you again in sleep?...
27265Or am I still baffled in my search for the right road?
27265Or have I until this moment lived in a world of dream, and is this the day of awakening?
27265Or is there danger in it?...
27265Or renewed battle?"
27265Or why, she asks, when that counsel is rejected, why does he not, still mote aptly, consult Brünnhilde, wise child of Wotan and Erda?
27265Or, is the latter act Brünnhilde''s supreme vengeance?
27265Or, was I actuated peradventure-- by vanity?"
27265Or,--this seems more likely,--an act of supreme benevolence, the result of at last understanding"everything, everything, everything!"?
27265Or-- how?
27265Ortrud listens till it has died away; then asks, with cold quiet:"What makes you waste yourself in these wild complaints?"
27265Ought not on this day everything which blooms and breathes to be steeped in mourning and tears?"
27265Passionately you clung to him, and kissed him ardently...."--"And then?"
27265Pogner''s courtesy interferes:"One word, friend Marker, are you not out of temper?"
27265Reproachful questions succeed on her part: Of what neglect has her love been guilty, of what can he accuse her?
27265Restoring the Ring to the Rhine, thus saving the world definitely from Alberich and the army of the night?
27265Sachs looks up, joyfully surprised, at her greeting:"Good- evening, master; still so diligent?"
27265Sachs still excuses himself;"How should so much honour accrue to me?
27265Sachs, what you say is nonsense.... Are the rules of art to be set aside for the people?"
27265Scarce arrived in Nuremberg, were you not hospitably received?
27265Scornfully calm and cold as before,"Friedrich, you Count of Telramund, for what reason,"she asks,"do you distrust me?"
27265Second: What race rests upon the back of the earth?
27265Senta answers gently, still without taking her eyes from the pale face:"Why did you tell me who he is, and relate his story?...
27265Shall I go in?..."
27265Shall I guide you?"
27265Shall I lend myself to gibes of the sort?
27265Shall I look upon the Grail once more and live?"
27265Shall Siegmund clasp Sieglinde there?"
27265Shall the bride and sister accompany the brother?
27265Shall you endure this outrage?"
27265She considers this quietly:"Day and death then with a simultaneous stroke shall overtake our love?"
27265She does not hear this time the sailor at the topmast singing over again the song she had before resented;"O Irish maid, where tarriest thou?
27265She presses fondly against this unaccountably humble- minded mistress:"What are you dreaming, perverse one?
27265She presses rapid questions upon her:"You dared then for love of Brünnhilde brave Walvater''s commandment?
27265She, indeed, asks him, does he not fear?...
27265Siegfried interrupts Mime''s meditations;"what is the name of the sword which I have ground into filings?"
27265Siegfried''s love- token?
27265Siegfried, however, replies:"What do I know?
27265Siegmund gazes quietly and long and inquiringly into her eyes, and:"The hero who must follow you, whither do you take him?"
27265Since the men are all your adherents, who is to smite Tristan?"
27265So higgling at a bargain?...
27265So late at night?"
27265So long as the tailor has done his work successfully, who ever will divine where I suffer inconvenience, where secretly my shoe pinches me?"
27265So you too were driven by the hurricane on to the bare rocky coast?
27265So, from the question,"Who prompted you to attack the strong Worm?"
27265Some one of great consequence, I suppose?"
27265Some sketch of a project for winning her it must be prompting his next words:"Have you, Gunther, a wife?"
27265Speak to me again, charming singer: shall I break through the fiery wall?
27265Speak, Senta, should you be sorry that the stranger should dwell with us?"
27265Starting awake at the ring of her own words, she laughs unpleasantly and, turning to Brangaene:"What do you think of the lackey yonder?"
27265Still up?
27265Surely you are thirsty?"
27265Suspiciously he observes him:"I do not like him.... What is he doing here?
27265Tell me now who it was that sought for election?"
27265Tell me now, what little corner in it do you intend as a kennel for me?"
27265Tell me, did you not go to Rome?"
27265Tell me, does it still hurt?"
27265Tell me, how does he impress you?"
27265Tell me, whence are you come?
27265Tell me, you soul of courage, have you learned fear?"
27265That crazy rubbish?
27265That is for my precious treasure, but first, quick, tell me, what success had the Knight?
27265That is one of the suitors?
27265That is where the surf rages, the ships founder.... Who is at the helm?"
27265That one?
27265That unhappy woman at your side?"
27265That which he promised-- what?
27265That which thrilled me at the pressure of your hand, tell me, was it not the assurance of your constancy?"
27265The King''s herald asks if the court of justice shall be held on the spot?
27265The Knight has caught sight of him and is instantly at Elsa''s side, crying astonished,"Elsa, with whom are you conversing?"
27265The Knight?"
27265The Marker in my power?
27265The Rhine, with its infesting nymphs?...
27265The cleverer brother asks Loge,"What great advantage is involved in the possession of the gold, that the Nibelung should find it all- sufficient?"
27265The conscience- smitten girl flings her arms around him again:"Oh, Sachs, my friend, oh, noble heart, how can I ever repay you?
27265The dreadful, deep, undiscoverable, thrice- mysterious reason,--who will reveal it to the world?"
27265The evil wound, how to heal it?
27265The father smiles:"You are eager to know?
27265The guest whom I once helped to nurse...?"
27265The light... when will it go out?...
27265The masters exchange glances:"Anoble?...
27265The new shoes?"
27265The one who is waiting for me in the hushed night, are you determined to keep him away from me as if horns were still close at hand?"
27265The pennant?"
27265The possession of it will doom you to dark ruin...."Wotan, struck, inquires in awe,"Who are you, warning woman?"
27265The question he proposes is: How may a rolling wheel be arrested in its course?
27265The quickly roused suspicion of the crowd takes up Brünnhilde''s word:"Treachery?...
27265The song is yours?
27265The sullen glow which I feel burning in my breast, should I, unhappy man, call it love?
27265The terror which drove me forth from Walhalla, drives me back thither....""What has happened to the eternal gods?"
27265The unhappy man whom a potent dreadful enchantment holds bound, what, shall he never come to Heaven through repentance and expiation in this world?
27265The words penetrate through Isolde''s absorption; she starts up in sudden fury, crying:"Who dares to mock me?"
27265The wound,--where?
27265Then Gunther inquires whom should he we d that lustre might be added to the glory of the House?
27265Then, say, who am I, that you should be surly?
27265There is some sternness apparently in Hunding''s tone as he inquires:"Have you offered him refreshment?"
27265There was no way then by which he might have been saved?
27265These treasures?--But who is so rich as to have an equivalent to tender?"--"Equivalent?
27265They adopt with him the playful, teasing tone of pretty girls with a likely- looking young fellow:"What are you grumbling into the ground?....
27265They vent themselves in such childish, fond, incredulous exclamations as: Is it you yourself?
27265Third: What race dwells on the cloudy heights?
27265This sorrow which burns within my bosom, this going out of desire toward him, what must I call it?
27265This, Tristan, to me?
27265Threaten a woman?"
27265To what destiny?...
27265To what purpose, any expression of mine?
27265To whom?..."
27265Tristan asks, dazed:"Who approaches?"
27265Tristan by a great effort brings his mind to consider these sounds, and with great effort speaks:"Who... calls me?"
27265Tristan murmurs,"Do you not see it yet?"
27265Unloved?
27265Upon the last note of it, he addresses the shoe- maker with what sickly civility he can summon:"How is this, master?
27265Upon which thought naturally follows the other:"The victor whom I now must fall back upon, who knows if my child will care for him?
27265Wanderer, with a laugh for his antics, felicitates him:"The most keen- witted are you among the wise; who can equal you in acuteness?
27265Was he made a master?"
27265Was it not he who considered that I went too far?
27265Was it not your testimony, your report, which induced me to accuse that innocent girl?
27265Was it too small a reward that the King had made him his heir?
27265Was it your father?
27265Was not that question the very hub around which turned all his troubled reflections?
27265What about fear?"
27265What ails Fricka?
27265What are wounds from your swords beside the death- stroke I have received from him?"
27265What are you doing here, unhappy woman?"
27265What bargain concluded by me?..."
27265What brings you in this neighbourhood?
27265What can there be but warfare forever between him and them?
27265What do you think of her as a wife?
27265What draught was that?"
27265What else have I forgotten?
27265What enemy is near?
27265What falsehoods did the evil Day tell you, that you should betray the faithful one, who had preferred you?"
27265What force so quickly prevailed with you to make you break this devoted heart?
27265What good will it do?
27265What have you forged and furbished to- day?"
27265What have you to say to me?"
27265What idle raving?
27265What if this dream now should contain a hint how you may to- day be made a master?"
27265What imp excites your ire?...
27265What is he doing so late at night?"
27265What is it rushing so wildly through my heart and senses?...
27265What is it, tell me, makes you so unhappy?
27265What makes men brave?
27265What more do you require of the masters?...
27265What more is necessary?"
27265What proper work can you do now?"
27265What security for you can I hold?"
27265What shall the wages be?
27265What success with the sword?"
27265What suspicion darkens your mind?"
27265What sword now must Siegfried wield, if he is to deal death to Fafner?"
27265What unholy power swept you along?
27265What was the purpose, she asks, of that provision made by her mother for their assistance in a strange land?
27265What were I, without you?
27265What, indeed, have I ever remembered?
27265What, is he so soon weary of the marvels with which her love surrounds him?
27265What, the question asks itself, what is this still familiar surrounding scene, when they ought, by true working of the drug, to be dead?
27265What, you poverty- stricken wight-- what pleasure of love may have fallen to your share?
27265What-- never return?
27265Whatever debt of gratitude Sir Tristan owes you, tell me, could he better repay it than with the most magnificent of crowns?
27265When Tristan is forced to keep afar from her, with whom does he spend the time but Sir Melot?
27265When a man undertakes a course out of the usual, how should he accept advice?...
27265When he stops at last, for lack of breath, Sachs asks artlessly:"Was that your song?...
27265When in order to gather the upland flowers for you I endured dangers and labours innumerable?
27265When my heart is breaking with anguish, will not Senta herself speak a word for me?"
27265When shall it sound, the trump of doom, at which the earth will crumble away?
27265When shall you dawn upon my night?
27265When will the house be wrapped in rest?"
27265When your arm encircled my neck, did you not own once more your love for me?
27265Where am I?"
27265Where are my runes?
27265Where are you going?"
27265Where are you?
27265Where did you tarry so long?"
27265Where does the man live who would not love you?
27265Where have I been?...
27265Where is your sword?..."
27265Where look for honour and uprightness, since the pattern of all honour, Tristan, has lost them?
27265Where now shall one look for truth, since Tristan has deceived me?
27265Where shall I find a sword with which to cut the thongs?"
27265Where shall you find her who will be your own true and loyal love until death?"
27265Where to turn to find out something?"
27265Where were you roaming when our master lost the Spear?"
27265Wherefore to me this indignity which no suffering can wash out?
27265Whether I am to retain my head which I placed at stake?
27265Whither has virtue fled, since she is gone from Tristan, who had made her into his shield and defence, yet has now betrayed me?"
27265Whither must I follow you?"
27265Whither, blithesome hero?"
27265Who am I, if not your will?"
27265Who among you will fight with me, casting slur upon my honour?"
27265Who attacks us?
27265Who bound you in joyless slumber?
27265Who came in?"
27265Who could be silent hearing you?
27265Who could persist in violence after hearing the supplications of an angel?
27265Who could see Isolde and not blissfully dissolve in love for her?
27265Who did it?"
27265Who incited the child to the murderous deed?
27265Who is good?"
27265Who is he, who came to shore guided by a wild swan?
27265Who is there unacquainted with that fountain?
27265Who is this, she asks herself, that has overcome her husband, that has placed a term to her power?
27265Who shall compel me to live?
27265Who shall find a name for it?
27265Who taught you to wish for the woman?"
27265Who will inherit from him?
27265Who will stand up against him when he is in command?"
27265Who would have thought it?"
27265Who would not wish to be a bachelor?..."
27265Who would not wish to share his good fortune, as consort to tarry beside him, whom the greatest of heroes so devotedly serves?"
27265Who, indeed?
27265Why Tristan''s innumerable services, the greatness he had won for his King, if they were to be paid with the receiver''s dishonour?
27265Why are we called to arms?
27265Why did you beat our beloved?"
27265Why did you do us this injury?
27265Why did you wrest from me my secret?
27265Why do I not leave you alone, and flee by myself away, away, where my conscience may find rest?
27265Why do we continue to call?"
27265Why do you hang back there in dejection?"
27265Why does he not consult them?
27265Why does it hang down so over your face?...
27265Why indeed should not his dishonesty be turned to use?
27265Will Tristan defraud her, defraud Isolde of this single infinitely- short last earthly joy?
27265Will he, on the ground of insufficient nobility, refuse likewise to answer you?"
27265Will the illustrious Hort come once more into the possession of the Nibelung?
27265Will you deny that it was your own stratagem which guided him to the spot where he should find it?"
27265Will you guide me to the right one?
27265Will you therefor chide your wife?"
27265With whispered laughter they vanish into the house, and Parsifal, in the once more solitary garden, asks himself:"Was it all a dream?"
27265With your own eyes seen how Elsa drowned her brother in the tarn?
27265Without giving Tristan time to hesitate, Kurwenal jumps up:"May I frame an answer?"
27265Without your love, what were I?
27265Wotan calms the maiden in distress, and asks, as one fancies, a little uneasily,"Have you seen nothing of Loge?"
27265Wotan pauses with his foot on the bridge:"What wail is that?"
27265Would you not trust Brangaene?
27265Would you rob him of his soul''s eternal salvation?"
27265Would you take away the hope of the sinner?
27265Yet, in forsaking the beaten track, was I not doing even as he does?
27265You are anxious, are you not, to have your shoes finished?"
27265You are lured at last by the song- festival we are preparing?"
27265You are not listening?
27265You could hold out your hand to the stranger?
27265You give your hand to the man who has hardly more than crossed your doorstep?"
27265You have, no doubt,"he insinuates,"committed the thing perfectly to memory?"
27265You shall see her, and if she pleases you..."--"She shall be my wife.--Will she prove to be my angel?"
27265You stand in terror of his anger?"
27265You stand in your place as if bewitched?
27265You were up late-- you did, however, finally sleep?"
27265You who are so strong in the pure faith, do you apprehend so ill the mind of the Most High?
27265You, living in the dusky woods, did you not mendaciously aver to me that from your wild castle you had seen the dark deed committed?
27265Your country?"
27265and when Siegfried replies that he did this himself, insists further:"But who shaped the strong pieces, out of which you forged the sword?"
27265ask some, under- breath, and others,"Is she mad?"
27265asks the King, in natural doubt;"How were guilt so prodigious possible?"
27265asks the Landgrave;"Have you come back to the community which you forsook in impatient arrogance?"
27265calls down to them,"You, down there in the water, what are you complaining about?
27265complains Elsa,"Was I duped by your feigning, when you stole to me last night with your pretended grief?
27265cries Elsa, painfully startled;"What sudden change has taken place in you?"
27265cries Eva, in acute exasperation,"If I were to come to your house, should I so much as be made at home?"
27265cries Siegfried, amazed,"who are you, trying to prevent me?"
27265do you know what the ring is to me?
27265he asks incredulously,"Something wrong too with the heel?"
27265he asks trembling,"Is there danger in it?...
27265he cries in incredulous anguish;"O God, what have I seen?
27265he cries, in a moment, to Wolfram wrestling all unheeded to turn him from his deadly purpose,"Ha, do you not feel soft gusts of air?...
27265he cries,"What is it keeps me still bound to you?
27265he goes on to show the jealous core of his unhappiness;"That picture..."--"What picture?..."
27265he murmurs, now as absent- minded as she,"What is this buzzing in my head?"
27265he passes to the question:"Who shaped the sword, so sharp and hard, that the strongest enemy should succumb to its stroke?"
27265he replies, studying her face dubiously;"Tell me, have I no reason to be afraid?"
27265he replies:"How shall I tell you what I would be willing to undertake for your sake?
27265he sighs aside;"Do I still permit myself the folly of an illusion that an angel''s heart will pity me?
27265he unceremoniously flings at her;"Has not God because of it, through his judgment, brought me to shame?"--"God?..."
27265he weeps,"Do you still live?...
27265he wonders;"is it he, already, who shall kill Fafner?"
27265her uncle argues with her, and the others add their voices to his,"What must I hear?
27265or"Do you imagine that you can deceive me, who night and day have been hard upon your heels?"
27265persist the girls;"Do you not wish for golden wine?
27265rails the irritated god,"For you I shall circumvent this enemy?
27265says Daland, impressed;"Am I to take you at your word?
27265says the minstrel Biterolf;"Reconciliation?
27265shall it hold good?
27265she asks reassuringly;"Do you doubt that it is full of kindness toward you?
27265she cries, almost impatiently;"What can your sufferings be?
27265she cries, in utmost dismay;"You say that I swore eternal constancy to you?"
27265she moans,"How do I still endure it?"
27265she pursues undeterred her fatal train of thought;"How might I hope for such power?
27265she taunts the shocked, pale- grown bride, who has found no more than force to gasp,--"What does she say?
27265snaps Beckmesser;"How could he learn the canons from him?"
27265the Valkyrie asks wistfully;"all in all to you is the poor woman who, tired and full of trouble, lies strengthless in your lap?
27265the handmaid asks, not understanding, yet half frightened;"What are you meditating?
27265the pious knight shudders;"Where have you been?
27265their wondering question runs,"What?
27265they continue calling to the invisible Dutch crew;"Are you so lazy as to have gone already to bed?
27265wails her passionate alarm,"What must I hear?
27265who would have thought it of you?"
27265you?..."
808Hallo,cries the new- born baby,"Where''s my parents?
808How long is this to last?
808Is it weakness of intellect, birdie?

808It adds to the tasks Of a merryman''s place, When your principal asks, With a scowl on his face, If you know that you''re paid to be funny?
808It ca n''t be Phoebe, surely?
808It can not be That lion- heart quails at the coming conflict?
808It can not be blissful as` tis said, Or why are their eyes so wondrous red?

808It was my fault — I blushed and stammered so that she exclaimed,"Can these be men?"
808It — it makes a difference, does n''t it?
808It''s a lubberly thing for to do; For we, with all our faults, Why, we''re sturdy British salts, While she''s only a Parley- voo, D''ye see?
808It''s asking too much, ai n''t it?
808It''s not a practical joke, is it?

808Yes, how are you to get butter, milk, and eggs up here?
808Yes, that''s all very well, but who''ll be fool enough to be the survivor?

808You — you would n''t like to put down a deposit, perhaps?
808You''re not going to kiss me before all these people?
808You''ve five minutes to spare?
