Due lettere per Firenze: Giuseppe Buonamici e Karl Klindworth

Two unpublished letters from the archives of the Fondazione Istituto Liszt permit us to become acquainted with a little known side of the life of one of the most important Italian pianists and composers of the middle of XIX century: Giuseppe Buonamici.
The first document is a testimony of his didactic activity in Florence. The second one, very much richer in news and quotations, tells us through Karl Klindworth’s pen many details about the contemporary musical life in Europe. In this letter Karl Klindworth hints at various relationships held by Buonamici with prominent musicians in Germany and in England. (gregorionardi@interfree.it)
