Description:

The composer G. G. Ferrari (1759-1842) was a composition student of Paisiello and Latilla, and during his peripatetic career met many of the leading musical figures in the Europe of his day, including Dussek, Haydn, Clementi, Steibelt and many others. His memoirs were first published in England in 1830 (in Italian), republished in Palermo in 1920, and were issued in an annotated edition in Bergamo in 1998. According to the New Grove, they are “highly entertaining” and “contain much historical information”. This will be their first publication in English.
