• Inscription/Labeling: Reward Card (gedruckt, Vorderseite) ; Giuseppe Verdi | Born October 10, 1813. Died January 27, 1901. | Born at Le Roncole, near Busseto, Italy. His | parents kept the village inn and shop. The | child was so delighted by a passing fiddler that his | father bought him an old piano. At ten he was | appointed village organist, and his duties beginning | before dawn, he was nearly drowned in a canal, | because of a misstep in the dark. Next he was made | organist in a cathedral. At fifteen he wrote a sym- | phony. Afterward he went to Milan to study and in | 1836 to live. |; In 1839 his first opera was brought out. In 1840 | he lost his wife and children, and was so overcome by | grief, that he gave up music. He began composing | again after a time, and gained a world-wide reputation. | He wrote many operas, but his greatest works after he | was 70 years old. |; He is one of the greatest of operatic composers. | His early operas, "Il Trovatore' and "La Traviata" are | in the old Italian style, but others "Aida," "Otello," | and "Falstaff" in the modern style. He also wrote | a great "Requiem" mass. He is one of the greatest | composers to Shakespeare's dramas.; ; From Ms. in British Museum (gedruckt, Rückseite)
