finale_.

Explain them. _Interlude_ is a piece of music
played between the main parts. _Triple time_ is
time, or rhythm, of three beats, or of three
times three beats in a bar.

Give an example of triple time. It denotes
sprightliness, as in the waltz. The _agitato
finale_ means the close of the passage with a
hurrying movement.

What takes place next? Beethoven rose quickly,
promised to come again, and hurried away.

Why did he hurry? He wished to write out the
"Sonata" while it was still fresh in his mind.

What does the last short paragraph state? It
tells that this was the origin of the
"Moonlight Sonata".

Where is the theme of the whole lesson found?
In the last sentence.

What has the writer told us? He has given us
all the circumstances which combined to inspire
Beethoven to compose this great work.

RECAPITULATION

Now let us review the story and collect these
details. What are they? The time, place, the
persons going for a walk, the narrow street,
the wonderful playing, the conversation, the
appearance of the young people, the blindness
of the girl, her eagerness to hear "good
music", the moonlight admitted, the recognition
of Beethoven.

Yes, all these things had a combined effect
upon the musician. If he had gone straight to
supper, there would probably not have been a
"Moonlight Sonata". This lesson illustrates how
time, place, persons, and action are arranged
to produce a well-told story.

What is the prayer? The traveller asks for the
guidance of the Holy Spirit. See notes on this
lesson in the Manual on _The Ontario Readers_,

Describe his journey. "The night is dark", he
is "far from home", he trusts to the light
shining through the darkness to keep his fe
