Bach Had the Melody In Him and Juet!
The Duke of Saxe-'Weimnr once in
vited John Sebastian liaeb, the Nestor
of German music, to attend a dinner
at the palace. Before the guests sat
down to the feast. Bach was asked to
give an improvisation. The composer
seated himself at the harpsichord and
straightway forgot nil about dinner
and everything else, lie played so long
that at Inst the duke touched his shoul
der and said. "We are very much
obliged, master, but we must not let
the soup get cold."
Bach sprang to his feet and followed
the duke to the dining room without
uttering a word. But he was scarcely
seated when he sprang u.i. rushed back
to the instrument like one demented,
struck a few chords and returned to i
the dlulng room, evidently feeling
much better. "I beg your pardon, your
highness." he said, "but yon interrupt
ed me In a series of chords nnd arpeg
gios on the dominant seventh, and I
could not feel at ease uniil they were
resolved into the tonic. It Is as If you
had snatched n glass of water from
the lips of a man dying of thirst. Now

his wits helped him.
