8 ‘July 21st [1824]. Dinner at Mr Salomon’s (in the City) to meet Rossini … We all had plenty of Wine – this induced me to ask Rossini (who requested me to accompany a Vocal Piece) ‘whether I should do so in his style or in my own! ‘Oh! in mine’ (replied Rossini) upon which, I thump’d away upon the unfortunate P.F. as Fortissimo as possible, to the great amusement of Rossini and the Company’ (p. 169; the stray opening quotation mark before ‘whether’ seems to be an error, which may have originated with Smart).
