[ The rehearsal was of Handel's "Messiah," but Mozart did not sit it out, being very much fatigued by the previous rehearsal of a Magnificat by Vogler, which lasted a whole hour (October 31, 1777). He does not mention the performance on November 1. In the observations of the Mannh.Tonsch., I., p. 119, it is noticed that all the audience yawned during the "Messiah," admirably as it was performed, while Vogler's Magnificat "excited indescribable delight." It was afterwards announced that the second part of the "Messiah" would not be performed, because no audience would stand the dry music.]
