Side 73 - ... who seem'd so great. — Gone ; but nothing can bereave him Of the force he made his own Being here, and we believe him Something far advanced in State, And that he wears a truer crown Than any wreath that man can weave him. Speak no more of his renown, Lay your earthly fancies down, And in the vast cathedral leave him. God accept him, Christ receive him.
Side 77 - The invisible world, doth greatness make abode, There harbours; whether we be young or old, Our destiny, our being's heart and home, Is with infinitude, and only there ; With hope it is, hope that can never die, Effort, and expectation, and desire, And something evermore about to be.
Side 144 - The form is mechanic, when on any given material we impress a pre-determined form, not necessarily arising out of the properties of the material; - as when to a mass of wet clay we give whatever shape we wish it to retain when hardened.

Side 100 - Beethoven must have been inspired by the very genius of happiness when he conceived and worked out the many beautiful themes of this joyous composition, and threw in the spirited and graceful features which so adorn them.
Side 322 - I enclose a setting of the Feuer-farbe on which I should like your opinion. It is by a young man of this place whose talent is widely esteemed, and whom the Elector has now sent to Vienna to Haydn. He intends to compose Schiller's Freude, and that verse by verse.
Side 24 - As has been appropriately said by another, the second symphony is "the culminating- point of the old, pre-re volution world — the world of Haydn and Mozart ; it was the farthest point to which Beethoven could go before he burst into that wonderful new region into which no man before had penetrated, of which no man had even dreamed, but which is now one of our dearest possessions, and will always be known by his immortal name.
Side 278 - Beethoven as fun was — the intense love of beauty ; and this is found in the Allegretto, than which nothing is more lovely in the world ; in the Minuet — especially the return to the subject by the bassoon — in the cantabile passages in the Trio, and in the serenely beautiful second subject of the Finale.
Side 334 - ... hear it from a distance; in this way my patience will at least not be so severely tried by the rehearsal as when I am close enough to hear my music so bungled. I really do believe it is done on purpose.
