Excerpt from Some Musical Recollections of Fifty Years Richard's school-days were cut short at the age of sixteen when he was sent to this country to the care of an uncle, but where he soon began an independent career, te lying entirely upon his own efforts for sup port. His mother, a sweet and gentle creature, was the daughter of a Lieutenant Harries Of the Navy. Her brother - In-law had a posi tion in the Navy Yard at Portsmouth, and Richard's greatest delight was to take his vacations with this uncle. Thus at an early age he became familiar with the war vessels stationed there and much of the routine of the Royal Navy; one of his uncles was also an Officer on the ship that conveyed Napoleon to St. Helena.

Excerpt from Recollections of an Old Musician This conjuring up of life's past events before the mind's eye is familiar to all thoughtful per sons, but it is a half-dreaming habit and enter tains the dreamer only. I hope that it will not be thought that I have rashly undertaken the task of making my dreamy recollections interesting to other people I think there must be many who would like to know how we of the earlier musical force worked, and what kind of an environment we had fifty years ago. If I succeed in interesting my readers in my recollections, I shall be amply repaid for the labor of jotting them down.

From Paris To Peoria written by R. Allen Lott and has been published by Oxford University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2003-02-06 with Music categories.

It's difficult to imagine Franz Liszt performing in Peoria, but his contemporary and foremost rival, Sigismund Thalberg, did just that. During the mid-nineteenth century, Americans in more than a hundred cities--from Portland, Maine to Dubuque, Iowa to Mobile, Alabama--were treated to performances by some of Europe's most celebrated pianists. From Paris to Peoria deftly chronicles the visits of five of these pianists to the America of Mark Twain. Whether performing in small railroad towns throughout the Midwest or in gold-rush era California, these five charismatic pianists--Leopold de Meyer, Henri Herz, Sigismund Thalberg, Anton Rubinstein, and Hans von Bülow--introduced many Americans to the delights of the concert hall. With humor and insight, R. Allen Lott describes the glamour and the drudgery of the touring life, the transformation of American audiences from boisterous to reverent, and the establishment of the piano recital as a viable artistic and financial enterprise. Lott also explores the creative and sometimes outlandish publicity techniques of managers seeking to capitalize on prosperous but uncharted American markets. The result of extensive archival research, From Paris to Peoria is richly illustrated with concert programs, handbills, caricatures, and maps. A companion website, www.rallenlott.info, includes a comprehensive list of repertoires and itineraries, audio music examples, and transcriptions of selected primary sources. Certain to delight pianists, musicologists, and historians, From Paris to Peoria is an engaging, thoroughly researched, and often funny account of music and culture in nineteenth-century America.
