In 1876, young Croatian violinist Franjo Krežma (on the photo), then at the age of 14, had a series of three consecutive concerts at the Ristori Theatre in Verona, on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th December. The concerts have been announced by beautiful verses written by anonymous Italian author G.D. The verses have been translated into Croatian in 2018 by Ivana Marija Vidović, distinguished Croatian pianist, poetesse and writer. Franjo Krežma was a violin prodigy: he earned his diploma at the Conservatory of Vienna at the age of 13! He died very young, at the age of 19.

S Vašim čarobnim gudalom / dovodite nas do suza i do osmijeha / duše nam ispunjate s radošću rajskih zvukova.

Četrnaestogodišnjem koncertantnom violinisti
Francescu Franju Krežmi

prilikom njegovih triju koncerata u kazalištu Ristori u Veroni
U večerima 2.,3. i 4. prosinca, 1876. godine

Krežma dragi,
iako ste još toliko mladi
svijet Vas već veliča pljeskom i
časti
kad bude vrijeme i kad još sazrijete
dostojna kruna dal će okrunit Vaše zasluge?
Toliko je vrijednosti u Vašemu biću
da li su Vas nebu oteli?
S Vašim čarobnim gudalom
dovodite nas do suza i do osmijeha
duše nam ispunjate s radošću rajskih zvukova.

Letite posvuda uz aplauze i salve
na krilima slave!

Nek Vas ovo veliko priznanje u Veroni
prati, časti i blagosliva.

U znak divljenja,
G.D.
Verona, 1876.
