Marie-Henri Beyle (1783 1842), better known by his pen name
Stendhal, is remembered today for such novels as Le Rouge et le
Noir. In his lifetime, he wrote in a variety of literary genres and
under a multitude of names. Louis-Alexandre-Cesar Bombet was his
choice of pseudonym for these early works, originally published in
French in 1814. His lives of Haydn and Mozart were substantially
derived from works by Giuseppe Carpani and Theophile Winckler
respectively. Despite this audacious plagiarism, Stendhal's passion
for music is evident, especially for Mozart, whose Clemenza di Tito
he had enjoyed in Konigsberg during the winter of 1812 whilst
serving in Napoleon's army. Of especial interest to the modern
reader are Stendhal's frequent digressions expressing his
forthright opinions on the issues and figures of his day. This
reissue is of Robert Brewin's English translation of 1817, with
additional notes by the composer William Gardiner.
