Note 8 — INTRODUCTION
Mary Blaiklock translation
"A passable baritone," says Berlioz (Mémoires, I, 58). In 1830, in the streets of Paris, he sang "a bass part" (Mémoires, I, 156). During his first visit to Germany the Prince of Hechingen made him sing "the part of the violoncello" in one of his compositions (Mémoires, II, 32).
