Extraordinary Effect of Music in Piedmont Woman
A Paris paper recounts a 28 year old Piedmont woman who had never heard music until a ball with an excellent orchestra. She entered a stupor during the performance and felt intense emotion afterward. From then on she heard melodies day and night, could not sleep, grew apathic, and died within a month as her nerves weakened. A violin being played elicited instant recognition. Also notes Luther opposed long song sermons, preferring brief preaching.

Opera of the Mountain Sylph ends with mixed praise
The reviewer commends the overall plan of the opera but criticizes the fairy music and some songs as mismatched or incongruous. They compare Barnett’s effort to Weber and Oberon, fault the Phillips song, praise the strong concerted pieces and incantation music, and note omitted numbers improved the show on a second night while urging continued acclaim for Arnold’s treasury. A separate note records a gamekeeper’s poetic warning against poaching on the estate.
