Then there was Signor Tamburini singing astonishingly well; further, a prodigy, seven years old, who does wonderful things with little drum-sticks on a machine of wooden keys, called the 'xylophone,' almost five octaves in compass. His rapidity was amazing; the sound of his instrument is unequal. [The Athenaeum, April 7, 1866]
然后是坦布里尼先生唱得惊人地好;此外,还有一位七岁的神童,他在一个木键机器上用小鼓槌演奏,被称为“木琴”,几乎有五个八度音程。他的速度令人惊讶;他乐器的声音无与伦比。[《雅典娜》, 1866年4月7日]
