Rossinis 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 Rossinis early life are followed by penetrating discussions of the operas, libretti, personalities of the period, and Rossinis own character. Besides being a fascinating account of the Italian composers most creative years, and of contemporary musical events and opinionsthis work is one of the finest items in the Stendhalian literary canon. Richard Coes elegant revised translation and careful annotations
