They ask me to come on this or that day-I play, and then
they say, '_O_c'est_un_prodige,_c'est_inconcevable,_c'est_
etonnant;' and then '_a_Dieu_.'"
"All this, however," Mr Holmes observes, "might have been endured,
so far as mere superciliousness and _hauteur_ to the professional
musician were involved, if these people had possessed any real
feeling or love for music; but it was their total want of all
taste, their utter viciousness, that rendered them hateful to
Mozart. He was ready to make any sacrifice for his family, but
longed to escape from the artificial and heartless Parisians.
"If I were in a place," he writes, "where people had ears to hear,
hearts to feel, and some small degree of perception and taste, I
should laugh heartily over all these things-but really, as it
regards music, I am living among mere brute beasts. How can it be
otherwise? It is the same in all their passions, and, indeed, in
every transaction of life; no place in the world is like Paris.
