Carlo Tedaldi Jores, “All’editore dello Spettatore”
In a letter to the editor, the writer describes how the 16-year-old Taddei was inspired, by listening to Pistrucci, to commit herself to improvised verse. Her performance and her verses resemble the enthusiasm of the Pythia, without being exaggerated. However, the writer reports that at a performance she gave near Cremona, ignorant listeners criticized improvised poetry and the innocent pleasures it arouses as pure folly.
