MOZART'S OPINION
A musical professor of Vienna took a malicious pleasure in searching the compositions of Haydn for little inaccuracies which might have crept into them. He often went to show Mozart symphonies or quartets of Haydn's, which he had put into score, and in which he had by this means discovered spme inadvertencies of style. Mozart always endeavoured to change the subject of conversation. At last, unable any longer to restrain himself, "Sir," said he to him, sharply, "if you and I were both melted down together, we should not furnish materials for Haydn."
