About the Composer (from Wikipedia<\/a>):<\/h3>\n

Jacques Blumenthal (October 4 1829\u2013May 17 1908) was a German pianist and composer. Born in Hamburg, he began his musical studies at an early age, receiving instruction from Friedrich Wilhelm Grund, Carl Maria von Bocklet, and Simon Sechter. In 1846 he entered the Conservatoire de Paris, where he studied the piano under the tutelage of Henri Herz and Fromental Hal\u00e9vy. In 1848 Blumenthal settled in London, where he became the pianist to Queen Victoria. The position contributed to his demand as a teacher in London society, and he prospered greatly. Blumenthal also composed a number of works; his short piano pieces and songs achieved considerable popularity, though his efforts at larger pieces did not meet with similar success. He died at his home in Chelsea in May 1908; his widow, L\u00e9onie Souvoroff Blumenthal, n\u00e9e Gore, assigned the copyrights of his music to the Royal Society of Musicians.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Silke Aichhorn has edited “La Source,”\u00a0a caprice for piano arranged by John Thomas for pedal harp, to include enharmonic changes and clearer note-setting. The piece features “typical water motifs,” says Aichhorn, resembling the\u00a0Zabel and Hasselmans pieces of the same name.<\/p>\n
