An English critic said of Rigoletto
when it reached London in 1858:
There is little offensive music in
Rigoletto; the ears are schooner
stunned than In most of the COM
posers other works and there is, we
fancy, less pretense in the writing.
Nevertheless Verdi's sins are apparent
In every scene. Poverty Of ideas, an
eternal effort at acknowledgement &C
complished-strange and odd phrases.
lack Of coloring, and perpetual swag-
ger in the dramatic effects, are unmis-
takably true Verdi. Yet there are airs
