1826. 2 vols. 8vo. ]; a delightful series of life-like descriptions, edited by Theodore Hook. Kelly describes the first performance of Figaro as a triumph ; yet, Mozart's share of the proceeds — the profits of the third night's representation — was so contemptible, that he deter- mined never to bring out another Opera in Vienna. F f 434 John Braham. [a. D. I 774-1856. Spectre, in 1797, and Bluebeard, in 1798, than John Frederick Lampe, whose famous Opera, The Dragon of Wantley, was received, in... 1737, with so much enthusiasm, that even Handel himself openly ex- pressed the pleasure he felt in listening to it. Much of their Music, chronologically separated by a gap of sixty years, might be introduced into a still later work, by Shield, or Davy, without exciting a sus- picion of incongruity. Yet it is excellent Music, thoroughly artistic, free from all taint of vulgarity, and, in every important characteristic, superior to nine-tenths of that to which we are expected to listen in the lighter pieces of the present day, either in England, or on the Continent.
