Pergolesi

Pergolesi never felt, perhaps, any harmonies but those of his own delicious art.

This brilliant genius, Pergolesi, died in 1736, at the age of twenty-six.

(A piano starts playing in the adjoining room—an ancient lune, full of soft and solemn melody; the "Nina" of Pergolesi).

He belonged to the school of the Adams and Pergolesi, and like them frequently designed the enrichments of furniture.
