| 43411 | Second question:"How did he behave to great people when they admired his talent and proficiency in music?" |
| 43411 | So it is to be hidden away from the eyes of the world; for what could manifest it more openly than a public performance in a large and populous city? |

| 43412 | And is not Gluck also an old man? |
| 43412 | And what was the consequence? |
| 43412 | And yet he wrote from Vienna to his father( May 16, 1781):"I was a fool about Lange''s wife, that is certain; but who is not when he is in love? |
| 43412 | At last the Duchesse de Chabot came in, and politely begged me to make allowances for the clavier, since she had none in good order; would I try it? |
| 43412 | At last, when my blood was boiling, I could hold out no longer, and said:"Then your Serene Highness is not satisfied with me?" |
| 43412 | Bad enough, you will say, but do I write often, even to my father? |
| 43412 | But now it is time I close, is it not? |
| 43412 | But who, you will ask, is the object of my love? |
| 43412 | But, after all, what harm can he do you? |
| 43412 | Can you believe that the opposition was even stronger than on the first evening? |
| 43412 | Could you have supposed all this? |
| 43412 | Do you know what I should like? |
| 43412 | Do you not daily grow more convinced of the truth of my little lecture? |
| 43412 | Even Gluck-- did Germany make him the great man he is? |
| 43412 | For what is the object of these passages after all? |
| 43412 | Has Herr von Thorwarth waited on your ladyship already? |
| 43412 | Having often heard me play fugues out of my head, she asked me if I had never written any down? |
| 43412 | He was asked by a Frenchman, at Munich or some other place:"Monsieur, vous avez été ä Paris?" |

| 43412 | How far, after all, was Salieri capable of influencing the music of his day? |
| 43412 | I believe there is something behind, for I have my enemies here, as where have I not had them? |
| 43412 | I could do nothing but ask Le Gros,"_ A propos_, have you given the Sinfonie Concertante to be copied?" |
| 43412 | I need not tell you that the Germans have excelled other nations in almost every art-- but where did the artists make their fortunes or their fame? |
| 43412 | I rubbed my eyes and said:''Where the deuce did you get that idea?'' |
| 43412 | I thought to myself,"Where are you to go to? |
| 43412 | I was a fool about Madame Lange, that is true; but who is not when he is in love? |
| 43412 | I was not formerly, when her father was poor, and why should I be so now when she may make your fortune instead of you hers? |
| 43412 | In Mozart''s autograph score the flute part is left blank: was the player to improvise?] |
| 43412 | In Prater? |
| 43412 | In unpleased surprise Joseph asked:"What, do you mean to forsake me, Mozart?" |
| 43412 | Is it necessary that we should both go to him after dinner to- day? |
| 43412 | Is it not the case that all possible measures were taken to drive my son out of Salzburg?" |

| 43412 | Is it your d----d religion?" |
| 43412 | Is not the pleasure of a fickle and capricious love a thousand times removed from the blessedness accompanying a sincere and rational affection? |

| 43412 | Not finding it she called to her husband:"Liebes Mandl, wo ists Bandl?" |
| 43412 | Of course I could not go, and who do you think was there? |
| 43412 | Shall I announce myself as a scoundrel, and the Archbishop as a worthy prince? |
| 43412 | Shall I embitter my life at its very opening? |
| 43412 | Tell me now, dear father, should I not have had to say this sooner or later? |
| 43412 | The Archbishop acknowledges to being in the wrong now; but had he not opportunities enough for acknowledging it before? |
| 43412 | Then suddenly springing up, as his manner was, he cried:"Now, what do you think of that? |

| 43412 | What would be the end of it? |
| 43412 | When I went in he was standing in the first room by the stove, and he came straight up to me and asked if I had anything to do to- day? |
| 43412 | When did Gluck, when did Piccinni, when did all these people come forward? |
| 43412 | Whether it will please generally I do not know; and, truth to say, I care very little; for whom have I to please? |
| 43412 | Who did not know, who did not respect, who did not love our worthy brother, Mozart? |
| 43412 | Who has not been charmed again and again by the last melody, which, like a shining meteor, sheds light and cheerfulness around? |
| 43412 | Who of us that saw him then, my brethren, would have supposed his days to be numbered? |
| 43412 | Who would have thought that in three weeks we should be mourning his loss? |
| 43412 | Why did he not seek them out? |
| 43412 | Why do Italian comic operas always please, in spite of their wretched librettos-- even in Paris, as I was witness myself? |
| 43412 | With this idea he writes to his father( December 16, 1780):--_ À propos!_ how about the Archbishop? |

| 5307 | Que dites- vous du premier coup d''archet? 5307 So you have finally left Salzburg?" |
| 5307 | Well, perhaps I may; why not? |

| 5307 | A propos, how goes on your French? |
| 5307 | A. propos, what do you mean by DREAMS OF PLEASURE? |

| 5307 | As I was going into the house I met Madame Niesser, the actress, just coming out, who said,"I suppose you wish to see the Count?" |
| 5307 | As this important step is finally taken, ought I at this moment to set off? |
| 5307 | At last he said,"Do you think that she will be able to learn it?" |
| 5307 | At night I hear perpetual shouts of"Who goes there?" |
| 5307 | But at last I have the honor to inquire how you are, and how you fare? |
| 5307 | But how can it be otherwise? |
| 5307 | But is this genuine music? |
| 5307 | But what avails any discussion? |
| 5307 | But where, at present, is even ONE to be found? |

| 5307 | By the by, can you recall the name of Freysingen-- the papa of the two pretty girls I mentioned? |
| 5307 | Can any one be considered a boy who is married? |
| 5307 | Can this be the kind, worthy Baron Hopfgarten whom we knew at Paris with Herr von Bose? |
| 5307 | Could such a thing be possible? |
| 5307 | Count Seeau went by, and greeted me very kindly:"How are you, dear Mozart?" |

| 5307 | Does Herr Deibl often come to see you? |
| 5307 | Does Herr Feiner play the English horn? |
| 5307 | Does he still honor you by his amusing conversation? |
| 5307 | Does he still sing? |
| 5307 | Fair maiden, say, where have you been, eh?" |
| 5307 | For Heaven''s sake tell me, do you really think that I can at once fix a day for my journey; or is it your belief that I do n''t mean to come at all? |
| 5307 | For whom is it to please? |
| 5307 | From their being short? |
| 5307 | From their church style? |
| 5307 | Giovanni Hagenauer da parte mia, che non dubiti, che andro a veder sicuramente in quella bottega delle armi, se ci sono quei nomi[?] |
| 5307 | Happily this seems equally tedious to himself, so it does not last long; but then, what follows? |
| 5307 | Has Schikaneder still good receipts? |
| 5307 | Have I not then sufficient cause to stay here and await the result? |
| 5307 | Have you any answer yet from our plenipotentiary at Wetzlar? |
| 5307 | He deigned graciously to remember you, and said,"And pray how have things gone with him?" |
| 5307 | He is the leader of the choir at St. Peter''s, in Salzburg, and knows you very well; his name is Zendorff; perhaps you may not remember him? |
| 5307 | He said to me,"I hear you wrote an opera at Munich"["La finta Giardiniera"]? |
| 5307 | He said,"I must reflect on your wish; how long do you intend to remain here?" |
| 5307 | He smiled, and said,"I should also like it; but would it not be prejudicial to her to have two masters?" |
| 5307 | He stared at me for some time, and at last said,"You surely are Herr Mozart?" |
| 5307 | He took the letter and was about to break the seal instantly, but I gave him no time for that, saying,"What is the use of reading the letter just now? |
| 5307 | He was asked by a Frenchman, in Munich or elsewhere,--"Monsieur, vous avez ete a Paris?" |
| 5307 | How can I help the clock choosing at this moment to strike a quarter after seven o''clock? |
| 5307 | How can you suppose that I would stay here without good cause? |
| 5307 | How do I like Mannheim? |
| 5307 | How do the comedians please at Salzburg? |
| 5307 | How does Probst get on with his wife? |
| 5307 | How does papa like this idea? |
| 5307 | How is Miss Bimbles? |
| 5307 | How is it likely to turn out? |
| 5307 | I beg you will not think so, for how could I write so beautifully if I were dead? |
| 5307 | I could not understand this, as wine is usually thought heating; but when I said so, every one exclaimed,"How can you say so? |
| 5307 | I do not wish to give up dreaming, for what mortal on the whole compass of the earth does not often dream? |
| 5307 | I have, indeed, suffered and wept, but what did it avail? |
| 5307 | I hear that the two Barisanis are also coming to Munich; is this true? |
| 5307 | I hope the affair is not by this time known all over Salzburg? |
| 5307 | I instantly rejoined,"and I hope things have also gone well with you?" |
| 5307 | I kiss mamma''s hand, and send you a little note and a little kiss; and remain, as before, your----What? |
| 5307 | I kiss your hands a thousand times, and have a great deal to say to my sister; but what? |
| 5307 | I kissed the Elector''s hand, who said,"I think it is now fifteen years since you were here?" |
| 5307 | I know, and, believe me, deeply feel, how much you deserve rest and peace, but am I the obstacle to this? |
| 5307 | I only said in reply,"Do you then think, Herr Stein, that I am likely to run wild on the organ?" |
| 5307 | I really could not help laughing:"What could I do at Mannheim now? |
| 5307 | I see a number of wretched bunglers who make a livelihood, and why, with my talents, am I to fail? |
| 5307 | I shall not be found wanting; how can you possibly doubt me? |
| 5307 | I think I have left my diplomas at home? |
| 5307 | I took no notice, but said to Le Gros,"A propos, have you given my sinfonie to be copied?" |
| 5307 | I would have been off long ago, but every one says to me,"Where do you intend to go for the winter? |
| 5307 | If I am sometimes in your mind? |
| 5307 | If I engaged an orchestra, it would with the lighting cost me more than three louis- d''or, and who knows whether we shall get as much? |
| 5307 | If I recollect rightly, there are also some cadenzas which I once jotted down, and at all events an aria cantabile with coloraturas? |
| 5307 | If to hang yourself you''re inclined? |
| 5307 | If we do leave this, we shall go straight to-- where? |
| 5307 | If we soon shall have a talk? |
| 5307 | If you write with a lump of chalk? |
| 5307 | If you''re angry with me, poor fool? |
| 5307 | In my opinion the second is preferable to the first; for when I heard the former, I asked,"Who is that playing on the organ?" |
| 5307 | In rapid playing the right and left hands may be changed, and no one either see or hear it; but is this good? |
| 5307 | Is Herr Schikaneder to remain in Salzburg? |
| 5307 | Is he afraid of losing them? |
| 5307 | Is it not friendly? |
| 5307 | Is it not so, Herr Bullinger? |
| 5307 | Is it possible that I did not tell you this? |
| 5307 | Is it true that Hagenauer is become a professor of sculpture in Vienna? |
| 5307 | Is it true that the Archbishop intends to come to Munich? |
| 5307 | Is it true that the Emperor is ill? |
| 5307 | Is my sister''s begun yet? |
| 5307 | Is not that dear? |
| 5307 | Is there no ass- eared old periwig, no dunderhead forthcoming, to restore the concern to its former disabled condition? |
| 5307 | It is always satisfactory to explain a thing distinctly, and the arias of Esopus are, I suppose, still lying on the table? |
| 5307 | It just occurs to me that you already know this; but what am I to do? |
| 5307 | It seems that I have enemies here also; where have I not had them? |
| 5307 | Josepha-- I mean the youngest, and pray why not? |
| 5307 | Keiserin? |
| 5307 | M. Grimm recently said to me,"What am I to write to your father? |
| 5307 | MADEMOISELLE, MA TRES- CHERE COUSINE,-- You perhaps think or believe that I must be dead? |
| 5307 | Maidli, lass Da saga, wo list dan gwesa he? |
| 5307 | Mamma:"Well, where is it?" |
| 5307 | May I soon write you a French letter? |
| 5307 | Mozart?" |
| 5307 | My dear sister, to- morrow we dine with Herr von Mayer; and do you know why? |
| 5307 | My kind friend, how can I sufficiently thank you? |
| 5307 | N. B., have not you a horror of the very name of Paris? |
| 5307 | Next Wednesday I set off, and do you know how I travel? |
| 5307 | Now let the matter rest as it is, or as it may be, what avail useless speculations? |
| 5307 | Now, what is to be deduced from that? |
| 5307 | One thing I very much regret, which is that I can not give you house- room, because I am not at an hotel, but am living with-- whom do you think? |
| 5307 | Ought not I to accept it if they are in earnest? |
| 5307 | Perhaps you may laugh at this? |
| 5307 | Pray, what do you hear about the war? |
| 5307 | Rose( who was in the third room from us, busy with the linen) had finished, she came in and said to me,"Do you wish me to begin now?" |
| 5307 | Some days after, when he saw me, he said with a sneer,"Well, did you discover anything very fine-- did you learn anything from it? |
| 5307 | Surely you can not have got my letters from there? |
| 5307 | Tell me how Master Canary is? |
| 5307 | The Count then said to me,"I hear that you play the piano very tolerably?" |
| 5307 | The Elector asked him,"Did you really compose these?" |
| 5307 | The Munich company of comedians are, I conclude, now acting? |
| 5307 | There is no theatre, no opera there; and if they really wished to have one, who is there to sing? |
| 5307 | They are indeed taking a certain powder-- how do I know what? |
| 5307 | This seems incredible, does it not? |
| 5307 | This sounds rather oracular, does it not? |
| 5307 | To whom? |
| 5307 | WHY have I not as yet written anything about Misliweczeck? |
| 5307 | We dine at a restaurateur''s, after dinner I write, and then we go out again, and afterwards sup, but on what? |
| 5307 | We were going home straight from Count Firmiani''s, and when we came into our street we opened our door, and what do you think happened? |
| 5307 | Weep, weep, as you can not fail to weep, but take comfort at last; remember that God Almighty has ordained it, and how can we rebel against Him? |
| 5307 | Well, instead of remaining NOT BAD, no doubt it soon becomes good? |
| 5307 | Were you very merry during the Carnival? |
| 5307 | What are the words?" |
| 5307 | What can I wish for more?" |
| 5307 | What course do you intend to pursue? |
| 5307 | What do you mean?--Why?" |
| 5307 | What do you think was the first piece after the symphony? |
| 5307 | What does it matter if he does not answer you? |
| 5307 | What kind of mask did Madame Rosa wear, and Herr von Molk, and Herr von Schiedenhofen? |
| 5307 | What means this? |
| 5307 | What merit is there in this? |
| 5307 | What of the family portraits? |
| 5307 | What of the family portraits? |
| 5307 | What other cause could I possibly have? |
| 5307 | What other resource have we to make us calm? |
| 5307 | When the Elector came up to me, I said,"Will your Royal Highness permit me to pay my homage and to offer your Royal Highness my services?" |
| 5307 | When the other began, I said,"Who may that be?" |
| 5307 | Who can tell whether he may not please? |
| 5307 | Who can tell? |
| 5307 | Who does not know the varied riches of Mozart''s life? |
| 5307 | Who knows? |
| 5307 | Who knows? |
| 5307 | Who would not feel happy to have completed such a great and laborious work-- and completed it, too, with honor and renown? |
| 5307 | Why are we still here? |
| 5307 | Why did we go direct to Mannheim? |
| 5307 | Why is a great opera never intrusted to a Frenchman? |
| 5307 | Why is it always given to a foreigner? |
| 5307 | Why must I be so brief? |
| 5307 | Why not? |
| 5307 | Why were they so improvident as to allow Misliweczeck to give them the slip, and he so near too? |
| 5307 | Why were we fourteen days in Augsburg? |
| 5307 | Why, then, did I not laugh at her in my letter to you? |
| 5307 | Why, to Heckmann-- a charming man, is he not? |
| 5307 | Why? |
| 5307 | Why? |
| 5307 | Why? |
| 5307 | Why? |
| 5307 | Why? |
| 5307 | Wish Herr von Heffner a happy journey from me, and ask him if he has seen Annamindl? |
| 5307 | Would you like to know how I was received by him? |
| 5307 | You desire to have a faithful portrait of Rothfischer? |
| 5307 | You do not write to me how Herr Esser accompanied my sonatas-- ill, or well? |
| 5307 | You probably know that the worthy musico Marquesi, the Marquessius di Milano, has been poisoned in Naples, but how? |
| 5307 | You say I ought to have practised with her? |
| 5307 | You think she put off being bled too long? |
| 5307 | You write that you have heard nothing for a very long time of my pupil in composition; very true, but what can I say about her? |
| 5307 | [ Footnote:"Fine writing, is it not?" |
| 5307 | and do they live in bliss or in strife? |
| 5307 | and in what does the art of reading prima vista consist? |
| 5307 | and still whistle? |
| 5307 | avez- vous entendu le premier coup d''archet?" |
| 5307 | from Paris, I suppose? |
| 5307 | how could I find words sufficient? |
| 5307 | must you have permission to wear it? |
| 5307 | net wor? |
| 5307 | que veut dire cela?" |
| 5307 | said I,"still no answer?" |
| 5307 | said I,"to puzzle me, I suppose?" |
| 5307 | said Madame,"so it has all come to nothing?" |
| 5307 | said she,"is this quite certain? |
| 5307 | said they,"shall we permit a man who does us so much honor to leave this without even hearing him? |
| 5307 | three ducats? |
| 5307 | what is to be done in such a case? |
| 5307 | what would you do with the cross?" |
| 5307 | whither does my grief lead me?" |
| 5307 | why are we so far apart, dearest Signor Maestro? |
| 5307 | why should I not ask her pardon? |
