[Footnote 82: Grimm, Corr. Litt., VIII., p. 321. Garat, Mém. sur M. Suard, II., p. 238. La Harpe, Corr. Litt., I., p. 86. Rudhart, Gluck in Paris, p. xo. A speaking testimony of his reverence for Gluck is the "Réponse sur un morceau de l'Orphée de M. le Chev. Gluck," and the unfinished "Observations sur l'Alceste Italien de M. le Chev. Gluck," where some striking observations are made.] [Footnote 83: Grimm, Corr. Litt., VIII., pp. 78, 322. When he remarked that Gluck influenced other composers, such as Grétry, he turned the full sharpness of his criticism upon them.] [Footnote 84: Berlioz, À Travers Chants, p. 127.] [Footnote 85: Mdlle. de l'Espinasse, in Stendsal, Vie de Rossini, p. 607. As might be expected, Grimm bestowed his highest praise upon "Orphée" (Corr. Litt., VIII., p. 390).] [Footnote 86: Winterfeld, Zur G each. heil. Tonk., II., p. 308.] [Footnote 87: Berlioz, Voy. Mus., II., p. 279; À Travers Chants, p. 142. Schelle, N. Ztschr. f. Mus., LV., p. 205. LVI., p. z.] [Footnote 88: Galiani, Corr. inéd., II., p. 106.] [Footnote 89: Marmontel, Mém. Litt., IX.; Ouvr., II., p. no.] [Footnote 90: Grimm, Corr. Litt., IX., p. 348. Dorat describes very comically in an Irishman's letter the party-fight in the pit (Coup d'Oeil sur la Littér., I., p. 211). Amusing incidents were not wanting. At one concert a song by Gluck was announced; as it began the Piccinnists ostentatiously left the hall, and the Gluckists applauded noisily; it afterwards appeared that the song was by Jomelli (Grimm, Corr. Litt., X., p. 440).] [Footnote 91: An account of the whole dispute from this side is given by Garat, Mém. Hist, sur M. Suard, II., p. 231.] [Footnote 92: Grimm, Corr. Litt., X., p. 34. Schelle, N. Ztschr. f. Mus., LV., p. 197.] [Footnote 93: Grimm, Corr. Litt., IX., p. 352. Galiani, Corr. inéd., II., p. 292.] [Footnote 94: Marmontel, Mém. Litt., IX.; Ouvr., II., p. 115. P. L. Ginguené, Not. sur Piccinni, p. 25.] [Footnote 95: Grimm, Corr. Litt., IX., p. 352. Galiani, Corr. inéd., II., p. 291.] [Footnote 96: To Marie Antoinette's question as to whether his opera, "Armida," was finished, and how he liked it, Gluck is said to have answered composedly: "Madame, il est bientöt fini, et vraiment ce sera superbe!" (Madame Campan, Mém., 7 p. 131.)] [Footnote 97: Grimm, Corr. Litt., IX., p. 428.] [Footnote 98: Grimm, Corr. Litt., IX., p. 469.] [Footnote 99: Grimm gives a minute and amusing account of all this.] [Footnote 100: So Grimm says. His friendliness towards Piccinni is confirmed by Galiani (Corr. inéd., II., p. 248), and Madame de Genlis (Mém., II., p. 248). Cf. Gin-guené, Not. sur Piccinni, p. 45] [Footnote 101: Grimm, Corr. Litt., IX., p. 500; X., p. 23.] CHAPTER XIX. PARIS, 1778.
