This brief biography of opera composer Giuseppe Verdi was a little hit and miss. There was a lot of good information about both Verdi and the musical world he inhabited, as well as some illuminating discussion of selected operas. However, the early chapters were a little confusing as far as the timeline went - in such a short and basic biography I prefer that the sequence of events be absolutely clear. On the other hand, Rosselli was refreshingly free of any tendency to idealize his subject.
