Duni. 1765. The same general characteristics, but no exact resemblance.
Monsigny.
“Le Roi et le Fermier.” Written for performance at the opening of the new theatre at the Petit Trianon, August 1, 1780, when the Queen first acted herself. Up to 1908 it had not been republished. In it the figure of the first of the twelve bars was found.
“Le Déserteur.” No published edition was found after 1830. In one published before that date the last three bars of the music were found, and the melody of the first bars was assigned to the second violins, and very freely, in inversions and variations, in other places. The character of the accompaniment was reminding.
Thirds and sixths constantly occur in Monsigny’s music.
Grétry. The same phrases were used and the ascending passage was found. Also, hidden consecutive fifths.
Pergolesi.
“Largo and Andante in D.” Similar phrases were used.
The Tall Gardener
Miss Lamont then went along the upper path, and when between the Escargot hill and the Belvédère, she met a very tall gardener of apparently great strength, with long muscular arms. She thought that with his long hair and grizzled, untidy beard and general appearance, he had the look of an Englishman rather than a Frenchman.
