Part 1 Chapter 2

Fu stupor¹, fu vaghezza, fu diletto!

“Gerusal. Lib.,” cant². ii. xxi.

(“Desire it was, ‘t was wonder, ‘t was delight.”

Wiffen’s Translation.)

Now at last the education is accomplished³! Viola is nearly sixteen. The Cardinal⁴ declares that the time is come when the new name must be inscribed⁵ in the Libro d’Oro,— the Golden Book set apart to the children of Art and Song. Yes, but in what character?— to whose genius is she to give embodiment and form? Ah, there is the secret! Rumours⁶ go abroad that the inexhaustible Paisiello, charmed with her performance of his “Nel cor piu non me sento,” and his “Io son Lindoro,” will produce some new masterpiece to introduce the debutante⁸. Others insist upon it that her forte¹⁰ is the comic, and that Cimarosa is hard at work at another “Matrimonia Segreto.” But in the meanwhile there is a check in the diplomacy¹¹ somewhere. The Cardinal is observed to be out of humour. He has said publicly,— and the words are portentous,—“The silly girl is as mad as her father; what she asks is preposterous¹²!” Conference follows conference; the Cardinal talks to the poor child very solemnly in his closet,— all in vain. Naples is distracted with curiosity and conjecture¹³. The lecture ends in a quarrel, and Viola comes home sullen¹⁴ and pouting¹⁵: she will not act,— she has renounced¹⁶ the engagement.

Pisani, too inexperienced to be aware of all the dangers of the stage, had been pleased at the notion that one, at least, of his name would add celebrity¹⁷ to his art. The girl’s perverseness¹⁸ displeased¹⁹ him. However, he said nothing,— he never scolded in words, but he took up the faithful barbiton. Oh, faithful barbiton, how horribly thou didst scold! It screeched²⁰, it gabbled, it moaned, it growled²¹. And Viola’s eyes filled with tears, for she understood that language. She stole to her mother, and whispered in her ear; and when Pisani turned from his employment, lo! both mother and daughter were weeping. He looked at them with a wondering stare; and then, as if he felt he had been harsh, he flew again to his Familiar. And now you thought you heard the lullaby which a fairy might sing to some fretful changeling it had adopted and sought to soothe²². Liquid, low, silvery, streamed the tones beneath the enchanted²³ bow. The most stubborn grief would have paused to hear; and withal, at times, out came a wild, merry, ringing note, like a laugh, but not mortal laughter. It was one of his most successful airs from his beloved opera,— the Siren in the act of charming the waves and the winds to sleep. Heaven knows what next would have come, but his arm was arrested. Viola had thrown herself on his breast, and kissed him, with happy eyes that smiled through her sunny hair. At that very moment the door opened,— a message from the Cardinal. Viola must go to his Eminence²⁴ at once. Her mother went with her. All was reconciled and settled; Viola had her way, and selected her own opera. O ye dull nations of the North, with your broils²⁵ and debates,— your bustling²⁶ lives of the Pnyx and the Agora!— you cannot guess what a stir throughout musical Naples was occasioned by the rumour⁷ of a new opera and a new singer. But whose the opera? No cabinet intrigue²⁷ ever was so secret. Pisani came back one night from the theatre, evidently disturbed and irate²⁸. Woe²⁹ to thine ears hadst thou heard the barbiton that night! They had suspended him from his office,— they feared that the new opera, and the first debut⁹ of his daughter as prima donna, would be too much for his nerves. And his variations, his diablerie of sirens and harpies, on such a night, made a hazard not to be contemplated³⁰ without awe³¹. To be set aside, and on the very night that his child, whose melody was but an emanation of his own, was to perform,— set aside for some new rival: it was too much for a musician’s flesh and blood. For the first time he spoke³² in words upon the subject, and gravely asked — for that question the barbiton, eloquent³³ as it was, could not express distinctly — what was to be the opera, and what the part? And Viola as gravely answered that she was pledged to the Cardinal not to reveal. Pisani said nothing, but disappeared with the violin; and presently they heard the Familiar from the house-top (whither, when thoroughly³⁴ out of humour, the musician sometimes fled), whining³⁵ and sighing as if its heart were broken.

The affections of Pisani were little visible on the surface. He was not one of those fond, caressing³⁶ fathers whose children are ever playing round their knees; his mind and soul were so thoroughly in his art that domestic life glided³⁷ by him, seemingly as if THAT were a dream, and the heart the substantial form and body of existence. Persons much cultivating an abstract study are often thus; mathematicians³⁸ proverbially so. When his servant ran to the celebrated³⁹ French philosopher, shrieking⁴⁰, “The house is on fire, sir!” “Go and tell my wife then, fool!” said the wise man, settling back to his problems; “do I ever meddle⁴¹ with domestic affairs?” But what are mathematics to music — music, that not only composes operas, but plays on the barbiton? Do you know what the illustrious Giardini said when the tyro⁴² asked how long it would take to learn to play on the violin? Hear, and despair, ye who would bend the bow to which that of Ulysses was a plaything, “Twelve hours a day for twenty years together!” Can a man, then, who plays the barbiton be always playing also with his little ones? No, Pisani; often, with the keen susceptibility of childhood, poor Viola had stolen from the room to weep at the thought that thou didst not love her. And yet, underneath⁴³ this outward abstraction of the artist, the natural fondness flowed all the same; and as she grew up, the dreamer had understood the dreamer. And now, shut out from all fame himself; to be forbidden to hail even his daughter’s fame!— and that daughter herself to be in the conspiracy⁴⁴ against him! Sharper than the serpent’s tooth was the ingratitude⁴⁵, and sharper than the serpent’s tooth was the wail⁴⁶ of the pitying barbiton!

The eventful hour is come. Viola is gone to the theatre,— her mother with her. The indignant musician remains⁴⁷ at home. Gionetta bursts into the room: my Lord Cardinal’s carriage is at the door,— the Padrone is sent for. He must lay aside his violin; he must put on his brocade coat and his lace ruffles⁴⁸. Here they are,— quick, quick! And quick rolls the gilded⁴⁹ coach, and majestic⁵⁰ sits the driver, and statelily prance⁵¹ the steeds. Poor Pisani is lost in a mist of uncomfortable amaze. He arrives at the theatre; he descends⁵² at the great door; he turns round and round, and looks about him and about: he misses something,— where is the violin? Alas⁵³! his soul, his voice, his self of self, is left behind! It is but an automaton⁵⁴ that the lackeys⁵⁵ conduct up the stairs, through the tier, into the Cardinal’s box. But then, what bursts upon him! Does he dream? The first act is over (they did not send for him till success seemed no longer doubtful); the first act has decided⁵⁶ all. He feels THAT by the electric sympathy which ever the one heart has at once with a vast audience. He feels it by the breathless stillness of that multitude; he feels it even by the lifted finger of the Cardinal. He sees his Viola on the stage, radiant in her robes and gems,— he hears her voice thrilling through the single heart of the thousands! But the scene, the part, the music! It is his other child,— his immortal⁵⁷ child; the spirit-infant of his soul; his darling of many years of patient obscurity and pining genius; his masterpiece; his opera of the Siren!

This, then, was the mystery that had so galled⁵⁸ him,— this the cause of the quarrel with the Cardinal; this the secret not to be proclaimed till the success was won, and the daughter had united her father’s triumph with her own! And there she stands, as all souls bow before her,— fairer than the very Siren he had called from the deeps of melody. Oh, long and sweet recompense of toil⁵⁹! Where is on earth the rapture⁶⁰ like that which is known to genius when at last it bursts from its hidden cavern⁶¹ into light and fame!

He did not speak, he did not move; he stood transfixed, breathless, the tears rolling down his cheeks; only from time to time his hands still wandered about,— mechanically they sought for the faithful instrument, why was it not there to share his triumph?

At last the curtain fell; but on such a storm and diapason of applause! Up rose the audience as one man, as with one voice that dear name was shouted. She came on, trembling, pale, and in the whole crowd saw but her father’s face. The audience followed those moistened eyes; they recognised with a thrill the daughter’s impulse and her meaning. The good old Cardinal drew him gently forward. Wild musician, thy daughter has given thee back more than the life thou gavest!

“My poor violin!” said he, wiping his eyes, “they will never hiss⁶² thee again now!”
