BAZZINI was one of the composers—there were several—who anticipated Puccini by writing an Opera on the subject of Turandot. It was given at La Scala in Milan, in 1867, but made no great success.
It was as a brilliant solo violinist that he was first known, and for some years toured throughout Europe as a virtuoso. Though he was born and educated in Italy he made his home in Paris for some years, returning to his own country only when he had deserted the concert platform in order to devote himself to composing. He held the posts of Professor of Composition, and afterwards of Director at the Milan Conservatoire, and exercised a considerable influence on the succeeding generation.

NEAR the beginning of Faust Mephistopheles carries his victim to Auerbach's cellar in Leipzig where a number of young people are making merry over their cups. One of them sings a grimly satirical song, making the most scornful fun of courts and royalties. It tells how an emperor chose a flea as one of his favourites and dressed him up in velvets and laces. Moussorgsky's setting brings out the bitter irony of the song in the most vivid way.
