“This morning I visited the two Signor Bezozzis, whose talents are well known to all travellers of taste in music. Their long and uninterrupted regard for each other is as remarkable as their performance. They are brothers; the eldest seventy, and the youngest upwards of sixty... The eldest plays the hautbois, and the youngest the bassoon, which instrument continues the scale of the hautbois, and is its true base... So much expression! Such delicacy! Such a perfect acquiescence and agreement together, that many of the passages seem heart-felt sighs, breathed through the same reed.”1
