By this means, with a comparatively low pressure
of wind an extraordinarily rich quantity
of tone is produced. The Sohulzes carried the
same principles into their wooden ilute pipes.
Their organs are also celebrated for their stringtoned
stops, but the drawback in all of these
is a certain slowness in their speech. Besides
the organs at Doncaster and Northampton,
the Schulzes have instruments in England at
churches at Armley ; Leeds (in conjunction
with Hill) ; Hindley, Wigan ; Tyne Dock, South
Shields ; Harrogate ; also at Northampton Town

SCHUMANN, Claka. Josephine, wife of
Robert Schumann, one of the greatest pianoforte
players that the world has ever heard, was the
daughter of Fribdkich Wieok, and was born at
Leipzig, Sept 13, 1819. She began the PF. at
a very early age under her father's guidance ;
and on Oct. 20, 1828, when she had just completed
her ninth year, made her ddbut iq public
at a concert of Frl. Perthaler's, where she played
with Emilie Eeinhold in Kalkbrenner's 4 -hand
variations on the March from 'Moise.' The
notices in the Leipzig Tageblatt and A.M.Z.
show that she was already an object of much
interest in the town. At this time she was
accustomed to play the concertos of Mozart and
Hummel with orchestra by heart, and thus early
did she lay the foundation of that sympathy
with the orchestra which so distinguished her.
On Nov. 8, 1830, when just over eleven,
she gave her first concert at the GewandhsCiis
under the good old name of 'Musikalia^e
Akademie '
; and her performance igse^WlfJ"by
