MOZART-CHILD AND MAN. (Continued from page 258, Vol. 38.)

The Same to the Same.

Milan, October 20th, 1770. WE arrived here on the 18th, after staying a whole day at Padua. The Philharmonic Academy of Bologna has unanimously admitted Wolfgang among its members, and delivered to him the letters patent. This was done without all the usual forms and preliminary ordeals. On the 9th September, at four o'clock in the afternoon, Wolfgang was obliged to appear in the hall of the academy. There the princeps academia and the two censors (who are all old-chapel masters) gave him an anthem from the antiplionary, which he had to arrange for four voices in an adjoining apartment to which he was conducted, and shut up under lock and key by the apparitor. When he had finished, it was examined by the censors and all the chapel masters and composers, and the votes were taken with black and white balls. All the balls came out white. He was called in; at his entrance the applause was general, and congratulations greeted him from every side. After the princeps had intimated to him his admission, he returned thanks, and the thing was done. During this time I was shut up in another direction, in the library of the academy, with the persons who accompanied me. Every one was astonished that he should have executed his task so rapidly, seeing that many have been three hours finishing an anthem of three lines. But you must know that it is by no means an easy matter; for this species of composition excludes a number of things which cannot be admitted into it, of which he was informed beforehand. He had finished in something more than half-an-hour. The apparitor brought us the diploma of the establishment, Among other things it contains these words-"Testamur Dominum W. A. M. inter Academiæ nostra MAGISTROS Compositores adscriptum fuisse."

P. S. from Wolfgang. My dear Mamma, I cannot write, my fingers ache with writing recitatives. I beseech, you dear mother, to pray for me that my opera may succeed, and that afterwards we may all happily meet together. I kiss your hands a thousand times, and to you, dear sister, I shall have a thousand things to say. But when? God knows, and God alone. If it be God's will I will open my heart to you, and that ere long, I hope, Meanwhile, I embrace you a thousand times. And so we have lost poor Martha. We shall join her, with God's help, in a better world.

86.

The Same to the Same.

Milan, October 27th, 1770,

We shall leave Milan, with God's help, after the middle of January. We shall proceed to Venice by way of Brescia, Verona, Parma, Vicenza, and Padua, and await at Venice the end of the carnival and a few concerts during lent, which is, they say, the best time for making one's appearance. I should like to return through Carinthia, for I have seen the Tyrol, and have no pleasure in travelling the same road twice, like the dogs.

We often had a visit from Misliwetschek, at Bologna, and frequently went to see him. He wrote an oratorio at Padua, and is starting for Bohemia. He is a man of honour, and we have contracted a sincere friendship with him.

P. S. from Wolfgang-All-beloved sister! Thou knowest I am a great chatterbox, and that nevertheless I have abandoned you. What

[blocks in formation]

Milan, November 3rd, 1770. Wolfgang thanks you for all your good wishes on his anniversary, and he hopes, when God shall permit, to see each other again to become your joy and happiness, by realising all that you desire concerning him. For the rest there is nothing new. We await with impatience the thing to be done, something to think of, something to apprehend ; a new year, or at least Christmas. Untill then there will ever be somefailure may perhaps await us-oranges instead of bouquets-and consequently anxious and agitated days. Patience! So many enterprises have succeeded with us, God be praised, and have turned to our honour. We shall, in like manner, with God's assistance, pass safely through the annoyances and inevitable grievances which every chapel-master has to endure from the rabble of virtuosi (virtuosen-canaille).

P.S. from Wolfgang.-All beloved little sister of my heart, thanks for your good wishes! I am consumed with longing to see you again at Salzburg. To return to the subject of your congratulations. I almost suspected it was M. Martinelli who had drawn up your Italian phrase. But as you still preserve your character of Mother Prudence, and have had the sense to subjoin immediately after, in Italian, the compliments of M. Martinelli, I was ashamed of my suspicions, and I said to papa, "Good Heavens, when shall I possess as much wit and wisdom as my sister ?" "Yes," replied my father, "it is true!" "Well," said he, "then lay Whereupon I rejoined, "I am sleepy," down your pen;" The which I am doing. Adieu. Pray God my opera may succeed. I am, your brother, tired of writing, No. 88.

The Same to the Same.

Milan, November 10, 1770. When from time to time my kind friends add, as they lately did, a piece of pleasantry to their letters, they really perform a work of charity, for Wolfgang is at this moment so seriously occupied, and, therefore, so serious, that I am glad when anything amusing falls into his hands. Let my friends pardon my silence. I am less apt at writing than ever. Thou wilt be astonished one day at the large share of presence of mind, prudence, and foresight required of us to escape safely out of the storm. We have, God be thanked, gained the first battle, and beaten an enemy who betook himself to the prima donna, with the pieces which she was to sing, persuading her to refuse those of Wolfgang. We have all these pieces here. They are quite new, She reNeither she nor ourselves know who has composed them. fused them all at the hands of this plotter, and she is beyond herself with joy at the pieces which Wolfgang has composed for her according to her wishes and desires; her Maestro Lamprignani, who has rehearsed her part with her, praises it unceasingly to the skies. Another storm is gathering in the theatrical horizon, which we can desery afar off. We shall weather it with a little dexterity and help from Above. But do not get wondering at all this; these are inevitable occurrences which happen to the greatest masters. Provided we keep our health, the rest is nothing. All this is not to be taken too much to heart, No. 89.

The Same to the Same.

Milan, November 17, 1770,

Wolfgang has had his usual cold. Between this and yesterday we have encountered the second storm. Whatever may yet happen, and all sorts of difficulties are likely to arise, we are full of hope. It is a rare piece of good fortune to see in Italy an opera gain the approving votes of every one. Too many fac tions exist to prevent it. "One thing is certain, however, that we have surmounted many obstacles. We shall also get over the storm actually raging. We usually go out a-walking in the afternoon, for I will not have Wolfgang write after meals, except under the most pressing necessity.

You imagine the opera is finished--you are greatly mistaken. As regards our son, he would have had time to finish two operas. But in Italy everything goes to the devil's content. The primo uomo does not arrive till to-day. Wolfgang is waiting for him to write his second air; he does not want to have double work, and prefers that he should be here, in order to make the coat to his measure.
