Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Madame von – honors me with a visit at my villa in Peterhof; after the usual salutations she expresses a wish to inspect my home surroundings; in the music-room she notices the busts of J. S. Bach, Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin, and Glinka on the walls, and, greatly surprised, asks:<br><br>- Why only these and not also Handel, Haydn, Mozart and others?<br><br>- These are the ones whom I most revere in my art.<br><br>- Then you do not revere Mozart?<br><br>- Himalaya and Chimborazo are the highest peaks of the earth; that does not imply, however, that Mt. Blanc is a little mountain.
