[CHAPTER XIV]
THE CONCERT
Mitzi decided to hold the concert in a park. The market square was too noisy and bustling. She wanted her brother's beautiful music to have a beautiful setting. The two children walked through Mendelssohn Street, Bach Street, Beethoven Street, and Mozart (Mō´tzärt) Street.
"Leipzig is a wonderful city," thought Fritz. "They have named their streets after their musicians."
What would Father think of that? There was no street named after a toy maker!
Bismarck Street was named for a great German leader. The strength and wisdom of Prince Otto von Bismarck helped Germany to become a powerful nation.
| THE PARK IN LEIPZIG |
In the park many people strolled to and fro. Some were reading. The children came upon a silver pond with beautiful shady trees all about it.
"Now, Fritz," said Mitzi, "you must stand here beside the pond. See how peaceful it is. Your music will float across the water. It will sound like music from heaven."
