MASTERS OF MUSIC.
THE GFiEAT COMPOSERS AND THEIF
J PECULIAR METHODS OF WORK.
Eccentric llniiitx, aa a Rule, Are
Linked With Tlila Plume ol Genius.
, Unyilu'a DruMH Suit unci Samphire
Ulutf and Beetnovea'a Wild Walk
All the great musical composers had
their oixn peculiar ideas and mannei
o( working. Tliey had their pecullai
traits, their moods, their eccentric ha b"
its, such as are generally said to mart.
the genius. In "Musical Education" M
Lavigiuie tells of their peculiarities.
. "Haydn was a very early .riser," he
writes, "and yet he never worked ex
cent in full . dress, in which ue.wu?
like Uutt'ou. He began by shaving
himself carefully, powdered himsell
and put on his linger a certain ring, i
sapphire.. 1 believe, surrounded with
brilliants, which had been given liiru
by the great Frederick, uuless it was
Prince Ksterhasiy. .Chat done, he shut
himself ui) In a quiet room and wrote
for several consecutive hours, five or
sis, without stopping. . : . !
"Mozart, the goutle and pious Mo,
zart, was sometimes less particular
and composed a little everywhere and
under all conditions. " Happily the
Ideas came often enough and pursued
him even into the restaurants .of Vien
na, Prague nnd Munich, where he was
very fond of playing billiards and
smoking a pipe and composing in his
head. ., . .
"Rossini composed almost constantly
and In all ways, rarely at the piano,
most often in the evening or at night,
and, like Mozart, often found inspira
tion in a carriage or post chaise. Id
the irregular joltings of these vehicles
he perceived rhythm, and of these
rhythms melodies were born. There is
no doubt that he would have found
them in the trepidation of the railroad
if he had dared to try, but he bad such
a dread of this mode of locomotion that
no one was ever able to induce him tc
set foot in a car, .. , . , ...
"Gluck composed violently gesticu
latlng, walking up and down and act
ing all his characters, often in the open
air, on the lawn. In a garden.
"Beethoven also undoubtedly found
a powerful auxiliary to inspiration in
motion and walking. Whatever the
season, every day after dinner, which
was at 1 o'clock, according to the Vien
nese custom, be set out for a walk,
and with big strides twice made the
circuit of the city of Vienpa. Neither
cold nor beat nor rain nor bail was able
to stop him. Then it wasthat bis heat
of fancy uuumed fts roT? uruof. . .m .j. tfk
would enter a restaurant, sit dowu for
uu instuui and ua'.i the stupehed waiter
for the bill, without having ordered
anything. His clumsiness waa pro
digious. He usually broke everything
1 luiiuW. Not a 3lngle piece of fur
niture iu his house, and any article of
palue less than anything else, was safe
from his attacks, and many times bis
ink pot fell Into the piano by which he
was working, ,which, religiously pre
served In the museum at Bonn, still
retains its Indelible traces. Althngb
he had always lived in the midst of the
high Viennese aristocracy, in which
drawing room dances were held in
high honor, he never succeeded In danc
ing in time. . - 7
. "Herold composed while walking,
humming or singing, often in the
Champs Elysees, and often passed his
best friends by without recognizing
'them. . ' i ' , .'
"Gounod composed especially at the
table, or at lenst in his head. , When he
wrote, everything, was absolutely clear
in bis brain. His manuscripts prove
this. -u;,
"Wagner iiked to write standing up
before a large table desk like the cash
desks in the shops. His scores were
written without erasures, In a superb
calligraphic hand, admirable for its
clearness and firmness and worthy of
a professional copyist,
"Berlioz, who played no Instruments
but the guitar, flute and flageolet, nec
essarily worked at the table.
"Franck. who was the head of a
school, scarcely composed at all till
after 0 o'clock in the evening.
"Meyerbeer wrote In a regular man
ner iu the evening, and his servant had
orders to drag him away from 'the
piano at the stroke of midnight. Schu
mann would not admit that any one
could write otherwise than at a table.
Mendelssohn made much use of the
piano' and preferred to work in the
morning. Auber generally worked at
night and very late, till 2 or 3 o'clock
In the morning, in order to avoid out
side noises. ....
"Halevy had a table piano that had
been made for him by Pleyel. From
time to time he would draw out his key
board, strike a few chords on' it, and
then push it back like a simple drawer
and continue to write.
"Boieldieu also wrote at the piano.
Feliclen David, not being much of a
pianist, sometimes sought the aid of
bis violin. Adolphe Adam almost al
ways worked at his grand piano, the
right hand side of whose keyboard
was stained with innumerable splashes
of ink. He played eight, ten or twelve
bars, and then wrote them down. Bizet
worked psnpnlnlly. In the, evening; nnd
still more at nlgut; he often made use
I of a piano bureau by Pleyel, like Goo-
nod and Halevy."

H Knew What It Waa.
A certain minister, while passing
down the village street, observed one
ot his parishioners seated at bis cofc
tage door supping bis broth. .
Thinking this an unusual proceeding,
he stopped and asked him what waa
the matter.
"Oh," replied John; "the chlmley la
reeking a bit, so I cam' outside te sop
ma broth. Ye bad better gan la anl
gle the missus a bit advice aboot tt" ,
The minister had scarcely opened the
door when a female voice exclaimed,
"Is that thoo ngyen, thoo awd rascal?"
And the minister's bat was crushed
over his eyes with a stool. ' " ' . :,
Without making a remark the minis- ,
ter closed the door and. stepping np to
where John sat. said solemnly. "John,
our chimney at home smokes soma.
