Bombet, as "Lettres ... sur le célèbre compositeur J.h Haydn [etc.]" The life of Haydn is, in the main, plagiarized from G. Carpani's Le Haydine (Milan, 1812) The biographical part of the Mozart, credited by Beyle to Schlichtegroll, is practically a reproduction of Winckler's Notice biographique sur Jean-Chrysostome-Wolfgang-Théophile Mozart (Paris, 1801) with one anecdote added from another source. The last letter on Mozart and the letter on Metastasio are by Beyle. cf. p. lxix-lxxiii. The Life of Mozart, attributed by the editor to C. Winckler, is by T. F. Winckler. cf. Fétis, Biog. univ. des musiciens. 2. éd. VIII, 476; Quérard, France litt.; A. Schurig, Wolfgang Amade Mozart (Leipzig, 1923) I, 11
