' I offer my children to my country,' he wrote to a friend at this time. ' If it will have none of them, that is not my fault, and will be my country's loss.' And so, prompted by love and gratitude, Wolfgang works on until at last the long task is finished, and the composer lays down his pen with a sigh of relief. ' What will the Archbishop think of the work ? WiU he laugh at it, and tell the father that he is mistaken in believing that his son can write good music ? Would this week of toil be ...thrown away, and the sheets be cast into the fire ?' Such are the thoughts of the chUd-musician as he glances anxiously through the manuscript. ' Yet, no ; it has some good points — as a musician he is sure of that — and surely his Grace will not fail to observe those good points.' 170 THE CANTATA Mozart's fears were groundless. When the old Arch- bishop cajne to inspect the work, his face showed the pleasure and astonishment which he felt. Boyish the workmanship may have been, yet there was nothing of boyishness about the music itself.
