...third base also the competition will be close. Ewer, Clay and G. C. Clark have all showed good form. Clark has had one year in the position, but is very slow. Ewer and Clay are perhaps quicker, and, like Clark, throw well. Should Clark pitch, the question will probably be one of batting ability...
...said that instruction must be adjusted to the natural instincts and tastes. The fallacy ought to be evident. All instruction which is good must be interesting--but it does not follow that all instruction which is interesting must also be good. To do what we like to do--that needs no pedagogical encouragement: water always runs down hill. . . .

Before Beethoven's time all the elements of the art existed, and were organized by Bach in such a way as to completely anticipate modern changes. But it remained for Beethoven to develop these elements into something like their present form. Before Beethoven, we had perfectly organized simplicity. Into the music of Mozart, which was merely a concord of sweet sounds, Beethoven introduced an entirely new harmony, founded openly on "discord." To people in Beethoven's time this produced an involved effect that they were unable to understand...
