Synopsis
Excerpt from My Musical Recollections
Some years ago, at a banquet of musicians, at which the wine was excellent and the music (with the exception of that which I contributed myself) execrable, I was called upon to make a speech. Having on several previous occasions intensified the melancholy of an after-dinner company in this fashion, I could not very well plead that I was 'unaccustomed to public speak ing,' but I sought to be excused on the ground that, as I had enhanced the enjoyment of the assembly by playing one of my own composi tions on the piano, it would be a pity to spoil the good impression thus created by taking also a share in the post-prandial oratory. But the chairman would listen to no such beautiful reason ing, and the next minute found me on my legs.
