Merchant's Category: Media> Books
The English musical renaissance owes a double debt to Sterndale Bennett which has been repaid by total neglect. Sir William Sterndale Bennett (13 April 1816 - 1 February 1875) was an English composer, pianist, conductor and music educator. At the age of ten he was admitted to the London Royal Academy of Music , where he remained for ten years. By the age of twenty, he had begun to make a reputation as a concert pianist, and his compositions received high praise. Among those impressed by Bennett was the German composer Felix Mendelssohn, who invited him to Leipzig. There Bennett became friendly with Robert Schumann, who shared Mendelssohn's admiration for his compositions. Bennett spent three winters composing and performing in Leipzig. this copy signed by the author - 'For my friend Eric Parkin by Geoffrey Bush'
