Notice Although Picquot had a job far from music - he was a tax collector in Bar-le-Duc - his work reached a general recognition. among musicologists, musicians, music historians, publishers etc. In his patient compilation effort, Picquot contacted all those who may have information and documents about the composer, particularly François de Fossa (who played the Quintets with guitar), or the son, Josef Mariano and grandson Fernando, as well as his widow. The 135-page book, published in 1851, was printed "at Philips, a publisher of music," with a long title, as was customary at the time, but at the same time modest, for he opted for the word "Notice" to describe it.

The 19th century was characterized by vast social upheaval. Slavery was abolished in much of Europe and the Americas.

It was also marked by the collapse of the large ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
