Vincenzo Bellini
Komponist, 1801-1835
"Bellini gilt als Schöpfer der romantischen italienischen Oper, des ""Melodramma tragico"". Sein Hauptlibrettist Felice Romani hat an dieser Schöpfung bedeutenden Anteil. In ""Norma"", die als Bellinis und Romanis Hauptwerk angesehen wird, gelang beiden eine neuartige Verbindung von Elementen der damals aufkommenden Schauerromantik mit der Dramaturgie der klassischen Tragödie. Noch Richard Wagner hat ""Norma"" als Musterbeispiel einer musikalischen Tragödie gerühmt. Um Romanis Texten gerecht zu werden, schuf Bellini eine ebenso neuartige musikalische Sprache, die vor allem von der Abkehr vom damals zunächst noch dominierenden Stil Gioachino Rossinis gekennzeichnet ist."

From Act II, Scene 2; one page with the text. - After the enormous success of "Bianca e Fernando" in Naples (May 1826), Bellini was introduced to the librettist Felice Romani, who proposed the subject of the composer’s first project, "Il pirata". Its premiere, given on 17 October 1827, was "an immediate and then an increasing, success. By Sunday, December 2, when the season ended, it had been sung to fifteen full houses" (Weinstock, Bellini: His life and His Operas. New York, Knopf, 1971, pp.
40f.). - Margins somewhat spotty and browned. With an early certification of authenticity in the left margin, written by the lawyer (to the heirs of Vincenzo, his brothers Carmelo and Mario), Francesco Chiarenza, and dated Catania, June 21, 1902..

Unpublished letter to a Madame Catterou [?] at the Paris Hotel Lillois (rue de Richelieu 63), in search of his missing washer-woman: "Mr. Bellini prie Madame Catterou à lui vouloir donner des nouvelles de sa blanchisseuse, par ce que a trois semaines que ne la voit pas. Milles salutations - [...] 19 bis rampe de Neuilly à Puteaux". - Slight brownstaining and wrinkling; minor edge defects. Written during the composer's final one and a half years, during his stay at the small country house of the English fortune hunter Samuel Lewis (Levys) and his companion, a former opera dancer, in the Paris suburb of Puteaux. "Seduced by two adventurers, the English 'couple' named Lewis, Vincenzo Bellini accepted their offer of hospitality [...]. The musician lost all of his savings, amounting to thirty thousand francs, in the speculations of his host, receiving in exchange the favors of 'Lady Lewis' - who was known by some as the 'gay Mademoiselle Olivier' - and the tranquillity to compose 'I Puritani'" (Quatriglio, Sicily [2011], p. 68). Bellini died at the Villa Lewis in Puteaux, but months after the triumphal première of his greatest success, "I Puritani". When his friends arrived, the "couple" had vanished without a trace, which fact gave rise to speculations as to the composer's having been poisoned.
