Chapter XXX: 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 häuslichen 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.

57: From the thirteenth paragraph of the fourth book. I have changed
the wording a very little to make it simple.

58: Sixteenth paragraph of the fifth book.

59: _Essi quam videri._

60: "The Memorabilia."

61: "Epictetus," H.W. Rollison's Translation.

62: Plato.

63: Mozart wrote three symphonies between June 26th and August 10th,
in the year 1778; and an Italian, Giovanni Animuccia, is said to
have written three masses, four motettes, and fourteen hymns
within five months. As an instance of early composition, Johann
Friedrich Bernold had written a symphony before he was ten years
of age, and was famous all over Europe.

64: Xenophon, "The Memorabilia," Book IV, Chapter VIII.

65: From the "Pleasures of Life." Eighth Chapter of the Second Series.

Students."

68: "Rules for Young Musicians."
