[Footnote 45: An imaginary musical enthusiast of whom Hoffmann has written much; under the fiery, sensitive, wayward character of this crazy bandmaster, presenting, it would seem, a shadowy likeness of himself. The _Kreisleriana_ occupy a large s.p.a.ce among these _Fantasy-pieces_; and Johannes Kreisler is the main figure in _Kater Murr_, Hoffmann's favorite but unfinished work. In the third and last volume, Kreisler was to end, not in composure and illumination, as the critics would have required, but in utter madness: a sketch of a wild, flail-like scarecrow, dancing vehemently and blowing soap-bubbles, and which had been intended to front the last t.i.tle-page, was found among Hoffmann's papers, and engraved and published in his _Life and Remains_.]

[Footnote 50: Translator: A.I. du P. Coleman.

This is a working-over of an old popular song in imitation of the swallow's cry, found in various dialect-forms in different parts of Germany. The most widespread version is:

Wenn ich wegzieh', wenn ich wegzieh', Sind Kisten and Kasten voll!'

Wann ich wiederkomm', wann ich wiederkomm', Ist alles verzehrt.]
