10 A TWENTY-FIVE YEARS’ SECRET. Revelations That Will Stir the Musical World. REMENYI AND JOHANNES BRAHMS. “Brahms' Celebrated Who Composed Hungarian Dances ?” A few weeks ago a representative of the Henarp was present at one of the Philharmonic concerts in the Academy of Music when the society played the second symphony of Johannes Brahms, and Edouard Reményi, the great violinist, performed for the first time in this conntry the concerto pathétique by Ernst. A gentleman who occupied an adjacent seat observed to his companion :—“It is a remarkable fact that but for Reményi we should probably never have heard of Brahms or his great symphonies. There is a curious romance connected with the two artists.” Attracted by the strange assertion the writer re- quested further information, “I cannot give it,” was the reply, “for I only know the general fact. Go and sec Reményi himself; he may be willing to tell the story.” Acting on the suggestion the writer called at the Westminster Hotel, and, after repeated attempts, succeeded in finding the great virtuoso at home, or rather, as he put it, in his “musical den.” It was, in fact, little less, A grand piano occupied the centre of the apartment, the top of ‘which was littered with music in manuscript and print, letters, books and artistic paraphernalia. On the mantelpiece were pictures of Wilhelm, Gerster, Sanford, the wealthy amateur pianist, and scores of well known celebri- ties, intermingled with cigarettes and empty coffee cups. His favorite violin lay in its open case, and the lounge and all of the surroundings betokened the carelessness of a man whose bump of order had been largely neglected in his early education. Reményi, however, quickly kept the eye from wan- dering to any other object than himself, for there is about him a certain kind of animal magnetism that makes you an attentive observer in his presence and a wondering critic of ,his every thought and motion. In person he is somewhat below the average stature, but compactly built and well proportioned. His forehead is high, broad and intellectual, eyes restless and expressive, mouth mo- Dile and face clean shaven, good natured and gen- erally indicative of great force, in which, however, nervous impulse is the predominating characteristic. A SECRET OF TWENTY-FIVE XFARS, When the writer broached the subject of his visit and expiained the incident that occasioned it a cloud temporarily passed over the features of the artist, and he remarked, “What you heard at the Academy istrue, but Iam reluctant to give you any further detaiis. Itis secret which I have carried for twen- ty-tive years, and I see no necessity for making it public now. “Then you knew Brahms intimately?” ‘Quite 80; yes,” and acurious smile was apparent, ‘Did you save his life, or anything of that kind?” “Oh, no” (the smile broadened), ‘but we were very good friends in our boyhood, as you may infer from this picture,” taking from an escrtoire an old” fashioned daguerreotype, dated on the back “Ham burg, 1853,” and representing two beardless youths; one, Reményi, sitting, and the other, Johannes Brahms, standing with his hand resting familiarly on the shoulder of his companion, “Then you must have known Brahms before he met Robert Schumann?” “Yes, I did.” “Yet did not Schumann write to a musical journal in Leipsic in 1853 the startling statement that in the person of Brahms he had ‘discovered a new Messiah in music?’ "” “That is trne. I think it was in the month of Octo- Ser, but never mind.” “There must, therefore, be some basis for the re- mark that I overheard at the Academy and which has brought me here.” “Well,” saia Mr, Reményi, impulsively, “I will tell you, although, as 1 said before, I am reluctant to re- ‘veal that which I have carefully withheld for a quarter of acentury. Listen!” and with picture in hand he commenced to pace nervously up and down the floor. THE sToRY. “T was in Hamburg toward the end of the year 1852, a kind of enfant gaté, a spoiled child of the élite of the city. There was scarcely a concert or soirée where my presence and assistance were not required, Probably much of this kindness and attention were due to the fact that I was then a Hungarian exile, During these concerts it wax, of course, neces- sary for me to employ the services of an accompanist. In January, 1853, a fashionable musical entertainment was announced at the house of one of the great merchant princes of Hamburg—a Mr. Helmrich. On the very day the soirée was to take place I received a Jetter from my usual accom- panist stating that he would be unable to be prea- + ent that evening, owing to illness. I went across the street from my hotel—Le Soleil—to the music estab- lishment of Mr. Auguste Bim, to ascertain where I could find a substitute. In answer to my inguiries ‘that gentleman remarked in a nonchalant manner that ‘little Johannes’ would perhaps be satisfactory. I asked what sort of ‘Johannes’ he was. He replied, ‘He is ® poor piano teacher, whose name is Johannes Brahms. He is a worthy young man, a good musician and very de- voted to his family.’ ‘All right,’ I said; ‘send him to the hotet in the afternoon and I will see him.’ About five o’clock of the same day, while practising jn my room, somebody knocked at the door, and in came a youth with a very high soprano voice, but whore features, owing to the dusk of the evening, I could not well discern. Ilighted a candle and then saw standing before me & young man who ent to be about sixteen or seventeen years of Se. th of ‘us ut that time were mere boys, and probably looked younger than we were in reality. o! ine modest way, ‘My name is Johannes Brahms. I have been sent here by Mr. Béhm to accompany you, and sball be very happy if 1 can satiety you as an assistant.” We jan to rehearse at once, but he had scarcely touched his piano be- fore I found that he was « far better musicisn than my previous accompanist, and I became interested at once in my new-made friend, I don’t know why, but at that very instant a sort of auréole seemed to linger around his face, it lighted up so beautifully, oma I distinctly remember soliloquizing to myself, ‘There is agenius here. This is no ordinary Dian- ist. Fate has laid ber fingers on my friend.’ Iad- dressed to him question after question concerning his career and learned its most important details— among other things that he had made many compori- tions of his own. We rehearsing, and when he began to piay one of his sonatas, violin, « soirée engagements, everything, was he nena ju the intense enthusiasm that was engendered by tho occasion. Iwas electrified and sat in mute amaze- ment. Icoald not help making the involuntary re- mark, ‘My dear Brahms, you are a jus!’ He smiled in @ melancholy sortof way—in his faco at that time always wore @ sad and thoughtful ex- pression—and replied, ‘Well, if 1 am a genius, I cer- tainly am not much ized in this good city of ogy “But they will recognize you,’ I sai ‘and I shall henceforth tell to everybody whom I ineet that I have discovered in you @ rare musical m.’ You may imagine the charac. ter of at interview when tell you that we did not separate until four o’clock in the morning. A TOSKLE WITH FATE. “The people at the house of Mr. Helmrich were, of course, disappointed and angry at my non-appear- ance, but I was a mere boy and cared little for conse- quences at that time. The result was that I lost many similar opportunities and became a sort of lunging stock among the citizens of Hamburg. Bome of them snecringly said, ‘As you don't want us we don’t want you. Since you have found a “genius” go aud help yourselves. I took up the gauntlet. “Not to be too long with you,” said Mr. Reményi, “I have only to say that all of my engagements but I clung to my Johannes Brahms through thick and thin, feeling that all I bad eaid about Lim must and would prove true, Thind against me even Marxsen, his teacher of conn- terpoint—a very dignified man—who told me plainly, ‘Well, well, lam sorry for your judgment.

His mother, by the way, was older than his father.”” “What were the mental characteristics of Brabins ? “He was a great reader, especially of German poetry, and kuew the best of it more or less by heart. ‘Yo strangers he was monosyllabic in conversation, inclined to be moody and reticent; but when alone with me he was joyous and communicative, In fact, had reliance in my judgment that he would succeed, and seemed to accept my predictions just as much as if they were 4 matter of fate, At this time he was giving lessons tor the paltry sum of fifteen cents an hour. I determined to take’ him away from Hamburg, but ermpbede with the exception of his mother smiled at Suggestion and regarded it as fraught with folly, However, in the spring of 1853 we left the city for the purpose of going to Weimar, but to get there we required moncy, und we had none. We had, therefore, to play our way from station to station, giving concerts in the small villages and towns, writ- ing and Sirinting te progenies ourselves, and content with receipts that did not average more than 35 or $10, From an efant gate you see I came down toavery humble position, out I never despaired. Everywhere en route I recommended my Johannes to everybody as a genius, for I desired him in my enthusiasm to be recognized by the whole world. At last we reached Hanover, when I went straight to Joseph Joachim, with whom I had studied in the Conservatoire at Vienna. He was at this time about twenty-one years of age and a favorite of the blind King (who is now dead), occupying the position of concert meister to His Majesty. Lat once told him Thad no money and that he must assist me. I also said that I had left behind me in the little inna young companion, named Johannes Brahms, who ‘was a musical genius, At this stereotype statement he smiled, and said he would willingly reeommend me and my companion to the King, in order that we might, perhaps, obtain the privilege of giving a con- cert before him and thus secure # sufficient sum to carry us on our way. BELORE THE KING. “In the afternoon of that day { was called, with Joachim, to the presence of His Majesty. He in- quired who I desired for an accompanist, and I re- Plied, ‘Your Majesty, 1 want none, because 1 have one with me whom I regard us a great musical enius.’ The blind King replied, ‘Well, we will ear your “genius” in the evening, when you shall give a concert betore the court circle,’ “In the course of the evening the King asked Brahms to play some of his compositions. When he had finished His Majesty, teking my hand, led me to the window and said:—‘My dear Mr. Reményi, 1 believe your enthusiasm is overdone; your “‘musi- cul genius’ has no genius at all.’ “This historical moment was recalled to me by the King himself when in Paris in 1874. At acon- cert at the Salle Herz, after I had finished playing, he observed to me:—‘With reference to your friend Johannes Brahms, you were ‘right and we all were wrong. I remember your prediction in 1853 con- cerning that young lad, and his present reputation is an honor to your Sangmank’ “The present Duke of Cumberland, the son of the King, anc the whole suite were standing near by when His Majesty recapitulated the circumstances in detail. They all stared at me. A RRMINISCENCE OF LIszT. “From Hanover we went to Weimar, the then home of Liszt, the maestro, and proceeded to the Hotel do Russie. I dressed in my finest clothes for the great event of presenting myself to him. I went to his residence alone, and had scarcely arrived before I was ushered into a beautiful drawing room full of the most exquisite objects of art, where I tremblingly awaited the ap, nce of the great man. As he came in the sight of his fine Dantesque tace, which once seen never can be forgotten, almost overwhelmed me, but ina very few moments his kind manners and, charming conversation put me completely at ease and restored my self-possession. He asked me concerning my plaus and purposes. I told him fravkiy that I desired to avail myself of his instruc- tion in music. would give him an especial pleasure to teach me because I was a fellow countryman—a Hun- garian. He said he heard of me, and made many inquiries concerning my past experi- ence. In the course of the conversation he tacetiously inquired if I was well supplied with money. I told him I had little or none, ‘Where do you live ? said he. I told him ‘at a neighboring hotel.’ He an- swerel, ‘Put your things together and come and live with me.’ You cannot imagine my feelings. I was again overwhelmed, but this time with joy and grati- tude. Isaid to him, ‘But, my dear master, I am not alone,’ and in a few hurried words explained the dis- covery I had made in Hamburg, and described ny friend Johannes. ‘Oh, well,’ said he, ‘it does not matter. Come and live here together.’ A heavy weight fell from my breast, and I ran back to the hotel carrying the good news. Brahms was as much overjoyed us myselt, We packed our baggage, and the next morning went to the Altenburg—the resi- dence of Liszt. After being comtortably installed the great master said:—“Well, what’ is your * us,” a8 you call him, able to do? ‘Master he will play you some of his composi- which I hope will satisfy your high judg- Brahms was therefore invited to sit down at the piano, but hesitated, not daring to do so in the resence of so illustrious personage. Seeing this, iszt kindly said:—'If you have your compositions at hand I will play them for you.’ He read two or three of them as only the great maestro is able to ply Co ge Brahms was overpowered, and I we] finishing them Liszt lett the piano and up and down the room, saying nothing ex- cept ‘Well, well! We shall re shall see! thing more, 2nd relapsed into silence. After this pupils came in, and one of those interesting less was given which are are only to be witnessed at the Altenburg, where music was better taught andin a more genial way than anywhere else in the world. it was a sublime combination of theory and practice illustrated by the brain and fingers of the greatest exponent of music who lives. I have no need to tell you that his pupils regarded Liszt with veneration—in fact, almost worshipped him. A SLEEPY MUSICIAN, “and now comes an incident which has been a puzzle to me until the present time, While Listz was playing most #ublimely to his pupils Brains calmly slept in a fuuteui/, or at least seemed to do so, It wus an act that produced bad blood among those present and everybody looked astonished and annoyed. I was thunderstruck. In going out I questioned Brahms concerning his behavior. His ouly excuse wa ‘Well, I was overcome with fatigue; 1 could not help it.’ My friend, William Mason, a distinguished American pianist and teacher, who is now in this city, was preseat on this ‘memorable occasion and’ will corroborate the circumstance I have described. 1 mentioned it to him only the other day, and he remembered it perf I said to Brabina:— ‘Whatever the cause that moment was no time tor sleep, and I see clearly that there is no staying for you here.’ I commenced to think about his rewoval to a more congenial place, still deteraiined, however, to adhere to my first judgment. After revk’s resi- dence at Altenburg, 1 said to Brahms :—‘It is useless for you to remain in this neighborhood any longer; still I cannot go with you, because the great master is kind to me and I must continue my studies with him; therefore I will write a letter for you to Joseph Joachim, praying that he will send you to Robe at Dusseldorf,’ He agreed ert Schumann, to the proposition. We put our little funds together, with which Braums was enabled to reach Hanover, whence he went straight to Robert Schumann with a letter of introduccion trom my triend Joachim. Strange enough I did not hear anything from Brahms jor some time; ly he forgot me (and Reményi said it fully) until one day while sitting at dinner with . Linzt (it was his habit to open his letters and news- papers when eating) he turned to me suddenly with the remark :—‘Well, Remenyi, itsecms that your judg- ment is right, after all. Here is a letter in the new Leipsic Musical Journal, written by Robert Schumann, ‘that will astonish the musical world. It says that a “new musical Messiah has arrived and that Minerva stood at the cradle ot Johannes Brahms.""’ I burst into tears, for I os _ an moe oon it was a recompense for my devotion and the persistency with which I had unselfishly adhered to the fortunes of my friend. Liszt became very thoughtful, but said nothing more. From this moment I waited for & letter from Brahms, but it never came. And this,” said Mr. Reményi, “isthe plain narrative of the inci- dent which you have asked me to divulge, and which for twenty-five years I have held sacred. NOT A QUESTION OF CHANCE. “By the way,” added the speaker, turning to a vol- ume, “I see it stated here ‘tnut in 1553 young Brahms made his first coucert tour, and by mere chance went to Dusseldorf, where he took occasion to make the acquaintance of Schumann.’ You see from what I have said that this is absointely not true. The visit to Schumann was most deliberately plauned by my- selt, and my letter to Joachim and the letter from Joachim to Schumann were simply stepping stones in tho career of Johannes Brahms.” ve you ever met Brahms in person since that ti “Yes; twice. Wo were a few hours together, but ‘no reference was made by either of us to the past. If he remembered it he may have had his own reasons for shunning the subject, and I certainly did not care to recall it to his mind. Our conversation was ot a general character.” THE HUNGARIAN DANCK8—ANOTHER CURIOUS REVELA- ‘TION. “Now, let me ask you another question. Why is it that you never play Brabms’ Hungarian dances, being a Hungarisn yourself and @ natural lover of your own national music?” At this question Mr. Reményi's face became sud- denly clouded; iu fact, it was covered with a shadow of pain. He replied atter a moment, fn agp in above mentioned daguerreotype, “Ah! there is an- other point ot history. You will remember I told you that we traveiled from village to village, carning ‘a few dollars by the wayside. In the hotels at night, for the purpose of killing time, it was my habit to compose Hungarian melodies. Some of these I showed to him, To several, for the purpose of mak- ing an innocent deception, Tt gave the name of national airs, without saying by whom they were written, aud my pleasure was always boundless when I heard him describe them as good, knowing that he was an im- partial judge and appreciated that which was excel- jen! our art.

Mr. Reményi, how- ever, took occasion to say, hurriedly, that during his stay in New York he had found another artist—a brother Hungarian—who might be appropriately described as “the coming man in musical composition,” and who is destined for a remarkable career, He said:—‘“If as a boy I judged so well for Brabms I have now the cour- age, after twenty-five years of experience, without fear of denial, to declare that I have discovered another musical genius. I know that when Iannounce his name it will be the signal for the opening of all the vials of malice and professional jealousy, but if the Almighty preserves him in health believe me that you will yet see masterpieces by a man who has been rodigally endowed by nature and who will illustrate Ris gifts in a manner that will astonish the lovers of ‘He has the head of a Mozart.” all truly great music. «What is his name?” “] will reserve that until I see you again.” FINE ARTS. GAZETTE DES BEAUX ARTS. ‘The Gazette des Beaux Arts for December is again a double one and makes its appearance even later than its predecessors. In the present number the last of the series of articles on the late art display at Paris are given. Distributed through the 227 pages are two full page etchings, two heliogravures of similar size, 116 reproductions of admirable pen and ink drawings and a couple of woodcuts. The etchings are—a good one by Gilbert, after the portrait head of Moliére, owned by the Duc d’Aumale, and a careful rendition by Champollion of Wattcau’s three-quarter length of M. de Julienne, owned by M. Chazeaud. The helio- gravures are of Lagneau’s drawing of a portrait] of Jean Pierre Acarie, owned by M, B. Fillon, and of Fritz August Kaulbach's superb drawing, after his icture of a noble Bavarian lady and her son in Mid- dle Age costumes. Paul Mantz opens the text of the number with his article on the “Historical Portraits at the Trocadero.” Among the illustrations we note in addition to those already mentioned those of the Duchesse de Pha- laris, by F. de Troy, and of Mme, d’Orvilliers, by David. M. P. Gasnault’s paper on the “Ceramics of the Far Orient” is accompanied by exquisite little drawings by H. Valentin. Among those given with the concluding article by Paul Sedille on “Architec- ture” we note the groups from Lameire’s friezes in the Salie des Fétes. “Japanese Lacquers” receive due attention from Charles Ephrussi. Alfred Dar- cel’s concluding notes on “The Middle Ages and the Renajssance at the Trocadero” are jltust by that skilful draughtsman, Ch . Of the remeining drawings ia noted the reproduction of M, Machard’s fine design, ‘‘Selene,’’ of a tapestry exhibited by the Gobelins. Henry Havard writes the concluding article of the volume on “Books of Art at the Champ de Mars,”’ which is illustrated by draw- ings extracted from the books written about. Officer Brown, of the Eleventh precinct, was on duty in East Ninth street last night, when he was informed that Mrs. Ellen Mitchell, who resides at No. 636 East Ninth street, wae acting rather strangely, and her friends believed her to be insane. As the officer was ascending the stairs to the third floor Mrs. Mitchell, who was half naked, stood on the landing above. On seeing him she became fran- tic and ran up to the roof. Officer Brown promptly gave chase and was close at her heels when she closed the scuttle door. In an instant it was forced back and the woman was seen making her way through the snow to the gutter of the adjoining house, Fear- ing that Mrs. Mitchell would spring from the roof to the pavement and be killed, the officer exerted himeclf, and succeeded in grasping her when she was but a few feet from the parapet. She struggled hard to free herself, but the policeman held her until assistance arrived. She was then taken to her room and an ambulance being telegraphed for she was re- moved to Bellevue Hospital, where, for safe keeping, she was placed in a cell. Ellen Mitchell is thirty. one years old, a married woman and the mother of several children. Her friends say that only a fow days ago she exhibited the first symptoms of in- sanity. DELAYED MAILS.
