...Brontosaurus were to snort in Wall Street, it would sound no stranger than did a two-column ad in the Wall Street Journal, fortnight ago. "WANTED FAST! . . .

Then he went still further by putting a pause at a given point in the music over the rest in the accompaniment, with the words, "Organun ad Libitum" which meant that the player was free to improvise. This was one of the first attempts at the development of the cadenza. Both of Handel's concertos which are to be played on Tuesday night are subtitled, "For organ and harpsichord."
