He was small, pock-marked, slovenly, dyspeptic, homely and feroclously cross, besides being eccentric, conceited and—for the greater part of his Hfe—deaf. Incidentally, he was a sublime genius, whose rank in music fs beside that of Shakespeare in literature, From the beginning, women raved about him. When he was thirteen his drunken father took him from town to town, exhibiting him as an “{nfant prodigy” piano player and announcing that the lad was only ten. During these journeys he was much petted by women and early grew to ark Row, New York.
