He called the thing "Puritani di Scozia", only to be told that no such thing existed, and then set the plot in Cornwall, rather. ---- What fascinates me about Bellini is the 'bel-canto' thing, which he sort of revolutionised, in that he gave a romantic approach to things. I would NOT think he could have composed what he did without RUBINI, the greatest tenor that ever existed. ---- Etc. Speranza
