The latter replied, ^^ Sometimes mildly I am of that opinion. But who can ever do any thing after Beethoven ? " About the time that Schubert was gradually working himself before the public, Beethoven was engaged on his famous Kinth Symphony and the Mass in D. His opera "Fidelio," which, for nearly eighteen years, had lain unnoticed and musty on the library-shelves of the Opera House, was in 1823 again brought out, and per^ formed by a company of able artists. Although Beethoven was unintelligib...le to the masses, he was an object of just adoration in musical circles. In greatness and strength he towered over all of his prede- cessors. Not only were his opinions all powerful, as far as regarded the musical art, but his works were deemed marvels of genius and far above criticism. He was the great Titan, whose soul, reaching into the Infinite, drank deep of inspiration, and rendered back to earth the pro- foundest tokens of grandeur and sublimity. It is fair to suppose that a man of such gigan- tic nature, thinking mind^ and potent sway, would hardly condescend to take notice of less favored artists.
