Description: Based on voluminous research, this biography attempts to depict the composer "as he was seen, at different periods of his life, by his benefactor and father-in-law Antonio Barezzi, by his adoring pupil Emanuele Muzio, by Giuseppina Strepponi, by Mariani, Teresa Stolz, Boito and others. The plan of the book takes us, on a broadly chronological basis, through the whole of his life, and permits full discussion of various controversial matters." Introduction.
