She
possesses much talent and cleverness, and, in particular, a very
remarkable memory, which enables her to play all her pieces, of
which there are at least two hundred, without book. She is
doubtful whether she has genius for composition-particularly with
respect to thoughts or ideas; her father (who, between ourselves,
is a little too much in love with her) affirms that she certainly
has ideas, and that nothing but modesty and a want of confidence
in herself prevent their appearing. We shall now see. If she
really have no ideas, and I must say I have as yet seen no
indication of them, it will be all in vain, for God knows I can
give her none. It is not her father's intention to make any very
great composer of her. 'I do not wish her,' he says, 'to write any
operas, airs, concertos, or symphonies, but merely grand sonatas
for her instrument, as I do for mine.'
"I gave her the fourth lesson to-day, and, as far as the rules of
composition go, am tolerably satisfied with her; she put the bass
to the first minuet which I placed before her, very correctly.
