Haydn, suivies d'une vie de Mozart, et de considérations sur Métastase et l'état présent de la musique en France et en Italie; fancifully attributed to pseudonymous Louis-Alexandre-César Bombet; 300 unsold copies republished 1817 with much shorter title, by which work is known today: Vies de Haydn, de Mozart et de Métastase; borrowed to the point of plagiarism from other sources, principally from Giuseppe Carpani's Le Haydine (1812); Carpani discovered the theft and complained in the French press, but the matter was never taken seriously; comparison of Stendhal's text with Carpani's reveals much translation and adaptation, but also considerable originality in style, scope, and critical judgment)
