The Letters on Haydn are, in the main, a plagiarism of G. Carpani's Le Haydine (Milan, 1812). The biographical part of the Mozart, credited by Beyle to Schlichtegroll, is practically a reproduction of Winckler's Notice biographique sur Jean-Chrysostome-Wolfgang-Théophile Mozart (Paris, 1801) with one anecdote added from another source. The last letter of the Mozart and the letter on Metastasio are by Beyle--cf. M.H. Beyle, Vies de Haydn, de Mozart et de Métastase; texte établi et annoté par Daniel Muller, préface de Romain Rolland (Paris, Champion, 1914) The notice of Mozart, attributed by Muller to C. Winckler, is by T.F. Winckler--cf. Fétis, Biog. univ. des musiciens. 2. éd. VIII, 476; Quérard, France litt.; A. Schurig, Wolfgang Amade Mozart (Leipzig, 1923) I, 11.
