My heart, which was hurt greatly when I went into the music-room, came forth from the holy bath of con- cords greatly refreshed, strengthened and quieted, and so remaineth to-day. I also feel better than in a long time before. Moreover, I am still master of the flute, A Foet's Musical Impressions 73 and she hath given forth to me to-day such tones as I have never heard from a flute before.
For these things I humbly thank God.
San Antonio, Texas, February 14, 1873.
. Last night I went to the par...ty of Colonel W- I found a very elegant-looking company of ladies and gentlemen — among the most so, General A and his daughters — already assembled.
First came some very good concerted pieces for violin and piano, then a piano solo, then a song. Then they called for the flute. I had not played three seconds before a profound silence reigned among the people, seeing which, and dreaming wildly, and feeling somehow in an eerie and elfish and half-uncanny mood, I flew off into all manner of trills, and laments, and cadenza- monstrosities for a long time, but finally floated down into " La Melancolie " (which, on the violin, ran every- body crazy some weeks ago, here, at a concert), which melted itself forth with such eloquent lamenting that it almost brought my tears — and, to make a long story short, when I allowed the last note to die, a simulta- neous cry of pleasure broke forth from men and women that almost amounted to a shout, and I stood and re- ceived the congratulations that thereupon came in, so wrought up by my own playing with [hidden] thoughts, that I could but smile mechanically, and make stereo- typed returns to the pleasant sayings, what time my heart worked falteringly, like a mouth that is about to cry.
