Summary "The Harmonicon. Part the First" by Various is a collection of essays, criticisms, biographies, and foreign reports written in the early 19th century. It serves as a significant periodical focusing on musical trends, key figures, and cultural critiques of its time, offering insights into the musical landscape of that era. The opening of the work reveals a structured approach to music criticism and reporting, featuring a biographical memoir of Vincenzo Righini, an Italian composer, which emphasizes the challenges of merit recognition for composers across Europe. The text discusses Righini's early life, education, and contributions to the opera, highlighting the disparity between his talent and the acknowledgment he received during his career.
