Excerpt from MonochromesHarms became enthusiastic over this composi tion. All the winter it had been his constant theme for discourse. He had played portions on every piano in Klettendorf, and for miles around. He could not see an instrument without sitting down to it, asked or unasked, to demonstrate the beauties of the 'bilder.' He would play a few bars, then dash his hands down upon the notes in a rush of admiration which rendered his fingers powerless, and ¿inging himself round to face his audience, would call their attention in stammer ing words to the profundity of the thought, the subtlety of the scoring, the originality of this or that phrase, until he had roused excitement to a pitch nearly equalling his own. Then he would toss back his already grizzling head with a dog like shake, and begin the composition over again, to recommence the moment he had finished, lest inadvertently he should have slurred over one of its thousand excellencies.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
