Rossini's popularity in Italy in the early 1820s was not echoed in France, where he was regarded as 'an ill-bred parvenu, whose cheap popularity was an insult to a great musical tradition'. Stendhal, always an obstinate individualist, was the first of his contemporaries to recognize the genius of this important Italian composer.
