Ear and Taste fob Music. — Coleridge notes: "An ear for music is a very different thing from taste for music. I have no ear whatever ; I could not sing an air to save ray life ; but I have the intensest delight in music, and can detect good from bad. Naldi, a good fellow, remarked to me once at a concert, that I did not seem much interested with a piece of Rossini's which had just been performed.. I said it sounded to me like nonsense verses. But I could scarcely contain myself when a thing of Beethoven's followed."
