Here you are, the LAST photo on the extreme right, (use the scroll bar at the bottom ) that’s a start anyway!
( I’m pleased with myself now !!)
http://www.andre-caplet.fr/iconographie.htmThey were Erards nos 4242 and 3008. Fancy that, I made a note and found it just now, stuck it in a book when I checked today.
I have “Concertino in an Old Style” by Maciej Malecki, published by Salvi, for strings and 2 harps. Then there is Sospiri by Sibelius, a very short piece and the Adagietto in Mahler 5 of course.
I’ll keep thinking…I once saw two old Erard harps in a residential house in Falaise in Normandy, France, and was told they had been her’s.
The 2nd harp sits on the 1st harp’s right, slightly behind, I think, so that s/he can look to the left and see the 1st harpist’s instrument and follow the cues, when playing together.
A Lyon and Healy style 11 (it’s golden and so pretty) and a larger property, with space for a music room, or build one myself.
Erica, this might be a logistical nightmare.
Holywell are in London, Pilgrim further south and Camac in South Wales. If when you arrive, you find you have to buy or need further ideas contact Jack Hayward in Reading for running list of secondhand harps and rentals – you are more likely to find harpists in the north and Scotland that way.
