Memoirs of the Life and Writings of the Abate Metastasio: In which are Incorporated, Translations of his Principal Letters - Cambridge Library Collection - Music
Charles Burney
This biography, first published in 1796, recounts the life of Italian poet and librettist Pietro Metastasio (1698–1782). Alternating biographical narrative with translations of the poet's correspondence, it provides a faithful account of Metastasio's complex life and affairs. Volume 1 covers Metastasio's life from his early childhood until 1751.
