AN ADMIRER OF GENIUS
Mozart was a. very great admirer of his master Haydn, and never missed an opportunity of impressing the originality and masterly character of Haydn's work upon others. One day, lie was at a concert with 3vozelueh, a popular and capable composer of that time, at which a now quartet of Haydn's was played. At one point Haydn had written something that was very bold and modern, at which Kozeluch whispered to Mozart, "I would not have clone that."" "No, neither would T,"' replied Mozart; "and do you know why? Neither you nor I could have invented such a splendid idea." Kozeluch, being of a jealous nature, never quite forgave Mozart for making such a remark.
