novel as Tschaikowsky is now, and as overwhelming a personality in the
world of music as the mighty Wagner. But time equalizes and evens things, and in another hundred years all that is merely up-to-date in musical speech and phraseology will have lost its flavour and seductiveness; but the voice that is sincere, whether the word is spoken to-day or was spoken a century ago, will sound as clear as ever, and the one voice shall not be clearer nor more convincing than the other. HAYDN'S PRINCIPAL COMPOSITIONS 125 Symphonies and orchestral pieces. 31 Concertos. 176 pieces for the baryton. 77 Quartets. 14 Masses. English canzonets. _The Spirit Song._ Several operas. _The Creation_. _The Seasons_. _The Seven Words_. A large number of pieces for harpsichord or piano. |
