  • Summary

  • Rossini made a new visit to the workshops of our protagonist, Adolphe Sax, showing particular interest in his innovations, especially regarding the bass clarinet and the new saxophone. He was so impressed that he went as far as to say he had never heard anything so beautiful. Rossini's influence on the musical scene of the time opened doors for our protagonist's musical career, allowing him to establish connections with prominent figures in Italian music, such as Mr. Liverani, a distinguished Italian clarinet teacher, as well as Gaspare Spontini, a renowned opera composer and orchestra director in Italy.
