Two hypostases Arrigo Boyto
We have already talked about the writers who composed music. But there are, of course, reverse examples. Tchaikovsky, say, sinned with poems, translated Mozart to the Russian libretto of Figaro's Wedding. But it was a hobby of the great composer. And the one we will talk about today was both of the one and the other, he himself recognized his dualism and could not and did not want to choose one field out of two. Arrigo Boyto. He, perhaps, is best known as Verdi's librettist.
