Rossini's success 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 was the first of his contemporaries to recognize the
genius of this important Italian composer. Besides being a
fascinating and penetrating 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. Details of Rossini's early life are followed by penetrating
discussions of the operas, libretti, personalities of the period
and Rossini's own character.
