He received her into his class, and gave her, in addition, private lessons. All this instruction was gratuitous. From this time she had no opportunity for the amusements other children enjoy. She practised ten and twelve hours a day, learning harmony, solfeggi, and mastering difficulties far beyond her years. To acquire that steadiness of position for which
