Memories of a Musical Career (Classic Reprint) by Clara Kathleen Rogers Pdf

Excerpt from Memories of a Musical Career I had never kept a diary, not dreaming that I should ever be called upon to narrate the story of my life, neither had I made a collection of newspaper clippings and programmes as many artists are wont to do; con sequently I found myself without any written data and had to depend entirely on my own memory of events and of impressions received. My great perplexity was - where to begin? What to select from the mass of incidents with which my life had been replete? When something whispered, What is the first thing that you can recall? Begin with that, I did so. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Musical Memories of Hartford by Frances Hall Johnson Pdf

Excerpt from Musical Memories of Hartford: Drawn From Records Public and Private A foreword! Hartford! With its fifty years and more of musical history, which it would be impossible to relate in full. Where begin, where end! At first it was my intention to write only of what was within memory, with the hope that to those who are living, many pleasant events, long since forgotten, would be recalled. Then the past, with its traditions became fascinating, and I found myself dipping into the far past the beginnings of music in Hartford. This led to encouragement that possibly the next generation would find interest in reading about the musical events that had come within the lifetime of this gen cration. It has been my idea not only to tell about Hartford's musicians of note and what they accomplished, but also as far as was practical to speak of the opportunities we have had in listening to artists and the fine music brought to us. The accounts naturally were obliged to be fragmentary. As a small contribution to my much beloved city of Hartford, I have gladly gathered together these facts about the friends and musicians who made the days of progress possible. To all those who have helped and many have been called upon to clear fading memories, supply old pro grammes, answer many questions and give kindly criticism my deep gratitude is felt and warmest thanks are given.

In 1812, be fore he was twenty, he heard of an open ing in a bank in Savannah, Georgia, and having secured the position, he went there. After business hours he continued his studies in music with an instructor named F. L. Abel, under whom he made rapid progress. He soon attempted com position, his first efforts being hymn-tunes and anthems. He arranged a collection consisting of a group of selections from William Gardiner's Sacred Melodies.

Musical Memory and Its Cultivation by Frederick G. Shinn Pdf

Excerpt from Musical Memory and Its Cultivation: Also an Investigation Into the Forms of Memory Employed in Pianoforte Playing, and a Theory as to the Relative Extent of the Employment of Such Forms The publication of a work upon a subject so interesting and so important as Memory, in its connection with Music and Musical Performance, and about which, as far as the author has been able to discover, absolutely no literature exists, seems to call for no apology. But, because it is the first attempt to deal with this subject, because the territory which the author has endeavoured to map out was largely an unexplored one, in the survey of which he has been obliged to make his own high roads, and erect his own sign posts, he therefore wishes to claim the indulgence of his reader, if, in the investigation which he now presumes to Offer to those interested in musical education, his foot has slipped, and he has taken, not perhaps one, but many wrong turnings. The purpose of this work is chie y twofold. First, it is an inquiry into the various forms of memory employed in piano playing, and the presentation of a theory with regard to the relative extent of the employment of the various forms by different individuals, and whatever be the amount of light or darkness this inquiry may shed upon the subject, the author feels that no earnest and intelligent teacher of the piano can feel altogether uninterested in an attempt, however imperfect and incomplete, to grapple with the unsolved problems which thrust themselves before him at every lesson.

My Musical Memories by H. R. Haweis Pdf

Excerpt from My Musical Memories I think it was Lord Beaconsfield who said that a man is usually interesting in proportion as his talk runs upon what he is familiar with; and that as a man usually knows more about himself than about anything else, he seldom fails to be tolerable if his self-centred talk turns out to be unaffected and sincere. To talk about one's self and to be dull is nevertheless possible. In the early pages of this volume I shall have to do the first to a considerable extent; let me hope to avoid the second. Music is not the business of my life, but it remains its sweetest recreation; and there is one opinion which used to be widely held by my friends in the old days, and to which I subscribed for many years. Nature, they often said, intended me for a violinist. In fact, my musical life starts from the violin; and, "Stradivario duce" - Stradivarius leading the way - I feel inspired, "after long years," to retrace with a certain keen pleasure these labyrinthine passages of Musical Memory. There is something about the shape of a violin - its curves, its physiognomy, its smiling and genial 's - which seems to invite and welcome inspection and handling.

Musical Memories by Camille Saint-Saens Pdf

Excerpt from Musical Memories In bygone days I was often told that I had two mothers, and, as a matter of fact, I did have two - the mother who gave me life and my maternal great-aunt, Charlotte Masson. The latter came from an old family of lawyers named Gayard and this relationship makes me a descendant of General Delcambre, one of the heroes of the retreat from Russia. His granddaughter married Count Durrieu of the Academie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres. My great-aunt was born in the provinces in 1781, but she was adopted by a childless aunt and uncle who made their home in Paris. He was a wealthy lawyer and they lived magnificently.
