“Charge him with having made extraordinary variations in the chorales, and with intermixing many strange sounds, so that thereby the congregation were confounded. He must in the future, when he wishes to introduce some tonus peregrinus, continue in it, and not go off too quickly to something else, or, as he had hitherto been in the habit of doing, play a tonum contrarium. And then it is very strange that up to this time he has had no rehearsals, because he will not agree with the scholars. Therefore he is to declare whether he will play both figural and choral music with the scholars, since a capellmeister cannot be kept. If he will not do this, let him say so categorically of his own accord, that a change may be made, and some one who will undertake it can be appointed to the post.”
Ille.
“If an honest Director be appointed, he will play again.”
