Then he adds: “What a wonder is that Fingals Cave-that vast cathedral oi the seas, with its dark lapping waters within, and the brightness =0! the gleaming waves outside.” Almost instinct- ively he sat down at the piano, and began to play. as ii his feelings must ilnd expression in tones rath- sr than words. I-lis playing was‘ most remarkable for its orchestral quality. Unsuspected power ley ill those delicate hands, ior at will they seempd able to draw from the piano a iull orchestral volume, and to suggest, if desired, the actual tones of solp instruments. This overture to ‘The Isles oi Fingar" ls made of sounds oi the sea. There is first a theme that suggests the monotonous wash oi theqsters and the crying of sea-birds within the vast spaces oi the caves. | Then follows a noble rising pas- sage, as ii the spirit oi the place were ascending irom the depths oi the sea, and pervading with his presence the imrnensltyoi his ocean faho. This, in turn, is succeeded by a movement that seems to carry us into the brightness outside, though still the plaint of crying birds pur— slles us in haunting monotony. It is a wonderful piece. theml-lebrldeu Overture," with all the magic and mystery or the Islands about it.
