About this title

Synopsis

Rossini��s popularity in Italy in the early 1820s was certainly not echoed in France, where he was regarded as “an ill-bred parvenu, whose cheap popularity was an insult to a great musical tradition.�� Stendhal, always an obstinate individualist, was the first of his contemporaries to recognize the genius of this important Italian composer. Details of Rossini��s early life are followed by penetrating discussions of the operas, libretti, personalities of the period, and Rossini��s own character. Besides being a fascinating account of the Italian composer��s most creative years, and of contemporary musical events and opinions—this work is one of the finest items in the Stendhalian literary canon. Richard Coe��s elegant revised translation and careful annotations

About the Author

Stendhal is the pen name of Marie-Henri Beyle, a 19th-century French writer considered one of the earliest and foremost practitioners of realism in his two novels La Chartreuse de Parme and Le Rouge et le Noir.
