Dined at Forster’s to meet Bishop. Some talk about music. B. said that Handel was the first who studied general effect, and brought his voices and instruments into masses, as a painter would call it: Mozart carried this to perfection: Haydn had not so much of it; too fond of finishing up bits to the injury of the whole. Does not think that Rossini’s music will live. Had some singing in the evening. Tried over Mi manca la voce, which he owns to be perfectly beautiful. Had a hackney coach home for Bessy, who came after dinner. |
