The Dead March in tiaul is the most eoleinn miißical conception of Handel. Its solemnity is tlio more astounding, as it is in the major koy. All funeral marches were and are composed In the minor key, with a solution into the major, returnine again to the minor. This is the only "Dead Maroh" in the vast domain of musical literature in tho lr rjor key. Edouard Remcnj 1 conceived the daring idea of transcribing it for the \iolin alono, and to heighten its gloomy grandeur he comDoscd vni added an interpola ted cadenza to tno March, which, if posßiblo. still hoightens its funereal impression, until, atter the cadenza, he entones again the opening grand themo of the March, and concludes it in a spirit of hopeful grandeur and stupendous joyfulnesv ' _ , , Cappriccio Pagan'ni Dre»s Circle; 4a; Stalls. 2s 6d; Pit, ONE BHlliaNiS.'
