es."
36: Robert Schumann.
37: Read John Ruskin's "Sesame and the Lilies," par. 19, and as much
of what follows as you deem wise.
38: "The Ethics," Book IX, Chapter VII.
39: Always I have it in mind that the teacher will read or make
reference to the original when the source is so obvious as in this
case. The teacher's, or mother's, discretion should, however,
decide what and how much of such original should be read, and what
it is best to say of it.
40: I have not attempted to quote the exact words usually given.
41: Socrates. This quotation is from the "Memorabilia of Xenophon,"
Book I, Chapter VI.
42: Mary Russell Mitford.
43: "Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini," Bohn edition, p. 23.
44: "The Miserere" of "Gregorio Allegri." It was written for nine
voices in two choirs. "There was a time when it was so much
treasured that to copy it was a crime visited with
excommunication. Mozart took down the notes while the choir was
singing it." (See Grove's "Dictionary of Music and Musicians."
Vol. I, page 54.)
45: Dr. Bridge "On Simple Counterpoint." Preface.
46: Take, in August Haupt's "_Choralbuch zum haeuslichen Gebrauch_,"
any simple choral. The one entitled "_Zion klagt mit Angst und
Schmerzen_" is of singular beauty and simplicity.
47: Peters Edition, No. 200, page 11.
48: I should advise the teacher to have the two volumes entitled "_Les
Maitres du Clavicin_." (They can be had in the Litolff
collection.)
49: Op. 106.
50: "_Der Erster Verlust_" in Schumann's Op. 68 is well conceived in
the sense that it is freely harmonic in some places, imitative in
others, while in the opening the melody is very simply
accompanied. Show the children how interesting the left-hand part
is in this little composition.
51: From a Letter of the Spectator.
52: From the eighth paragraph of the Lecture entitled "Nicholas, the
Pisan," in "Val D'Arno."
53: A blind beggar sitting on a bridge in an English town (it was
Chester) many times astonished me with the rapidity of his
hand-reading, and by the wonderful light of his face. It was
wholly free from the perplexity which most of us show. It must
arise in us from being attracted by so many things.
54: Eighty-first paragraph of "Val d'Arno."
55: Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, "The Meditations," Book V, Par. 34.
56: See footnote, p. 119.
