Stendhal was the first of his contemporaries to recognize the genius of this important Italian composer. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBesides 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stendhal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1847494471\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781847494474\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Alma Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 600\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.00w x 1.70d","brand":"Stendhal","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48241526374655,"sku":"9781847494474","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_08b29e3e-6c54-430c-bab0-39b053c8c0ed.jpg?v=1772654793","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-life-of-rossini-stendhal-9781847494474","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
