Excerpt: ...the first applause, and began to cheer the spirits of the disheartened composer. The air " La Calunnia" was pronounced to be magnificent and original. The Romans were not well acquainted with Mozart in 18)6, or they would have discovered that it was a close imitation of his style and manner, nay, if we may believe some critics., that it was copied from the air "La vendetta," in the "Nozze di Figaro," and other parts of the same illustrious author. This may be the case; but I would also add, that it was thus Raphael copied Michael Angelo's magnificent fresco of the prophet Isaiah, in the church of Santo Agostino, at Rome. After the air of " Basilio," a still stronger want was felt of the native grace and expression of Paisiello. At length, wearied K by the common things at the commencement of the second act, and shocked at what they considered a total absence of expression, the audience would hear no more, and the curtain fell. But, proud as they were of their musical knowledge, the Roman public found, that, by this act of haughtiness and want of dispassionate feeling, they had, as is often the case, been guilty of an act of folly. The matter was canvassed over at leisure, and in their cooler moments they began to see, that if Rossini did not possess some of the merits of Paisiello, that at least he had not that languor of style, which so often proves fatal to works of merit; that, if his airs had not all the finish of the old master, at least they were not separated from each other by such an eternal interval of wearisome recitative; like those little spots of refreshing verdure found amidst the wilderness of sand. On the second night of representation it was extolled to the clouds. The overture gave general satisfaction: it was thought...
Download or read book Life of Rossini written by Stendhal and published by Alma Books. This book was released on 2018-01-01 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rossini's success in Italy in the early 1820s was certainly not echoed in France, where he was regarded as "e;an ill-bred parvenu, whose cheap popularity was an insult to a great musical tradition"e;. 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.
Download or read book The Invention of Beethoven and Rossini written by Nicholas Mathew and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-11-07 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beethoven and Rossini have always been more than a pair of famous composers. Even during their lifetimes, they were well on the way to becoming 'Beethoven and Rossini' – a symbolic duo, who represented a contrast fundamental to Western music. This contrast was to shape the composition, performance, reception and historiography of music throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The Invention of Beethoven and Rossini puts leading scholars of opera and instrumental music into dialogue with each other, with the aim of unpicking the origins, consequences and fallacies of the opposition between the two composers and what they came to represent. In fifteen chapters, contributors explore topics ranging from the concert lives of early nineteenth-century capitals to the mythmaking of early cinema, and from the close analysis of individual works by Beethoven and Rossini to the cultural politics of nineteenth-century music histories.

Book excerpt: This book contains the memoirs of Stendahl or in his own words the 'chatter about his private life' between 1821 and 1830. It was between these dates that he moved to Paris and here looks back on his life as an eccentric bachelor. 'As well as Beyle the clairvoyant self-investigator, the sardonic analyst of Parisian salon society and deliberate cultivator of wit, here emerges Beyle the despairing lover, the shakespearean enthusiast, whose romantic sentiment run always parallel with his eighteenth-century logic'. Marie-Henri Beyle - better-known by his pen name, Stendhal - was born in Grenoble, France in 1783. He turned to writing after the final defeat of Napoleon in 1815, notable works include A Life of Rossini (1824), A Life of Napoleon (1929) and The Red and the Black published in 1830. A number of works were published posthumously, including Lamiel (1889), Memoirs of an Egotist (1892) and Lucien Leuwen (1894). Stendhal is now regarded as one of the earliest and foremost practitioners of literary realism.
