Boieldieu, Adamand Meyerbeer (the latter in LAfricaine )have used it, but the effect is very disagreeable. Arpeggios for all the Stringed Instrumentswould create an extraordinary and extremely grand effect if used in the appropriate place ;according to my knowledge the possibilities ofsuch arpeggios have not been made use of totheir fullest extent, by any composer. An im-portant example of the Arpeggio as employedin modern orchestral scoring may be found inthe love-song of Siegmund in R. Wagners Walkiire (Arpeggios of the Violas); and inthe arpeggio passages for Violins and Violasas employed by R. Wagner in the 4th scene ofhis Rheingo
