[Jose Maria Usandizaga]

Jose Maria Usandizaga  Born 31.3.1887 San Sebastian -  Died 5.10.1915  Yanci, Navarre

Jose Maria Usandizaga was the son of the Uruguayan consul in San Sebastian. His mother was Ana Soraluce.  Jose was the eldest of four children.  He demonstrated his musical talents from an early age and at the age of 9 composed his first waltz. His earliest studies were in San Sebastian at the local conservatory under German Cendoya and Beltran Pagola.  Following an audition with Francois Plante, he was recommended to  Vincent d'Indy in Paris.

In 1901 he went to the Schola Cantorum in Paris to complete his training, where he studied under  Gabriel Grovlet, Jesus Guridi and Vincent d'Indy he remained in Paris until 1906 in order to work with Paul Dukas. He then returned to San Sebastian. From this time his music was increasingly harmonically daring. Some of his later orchestration has been likened to that of Puccini.

He died from consumption at the age of 28.

Charles Neate  Born London 28.3.1784  Died Brighton 30.3 1877.

Following mention elsewhere (Moscheles) on the forum, some fragmentry information on Charles Neate: When time permits I will try to find the missing opus numbers and more biographical material.

He was initially a pupil of John Field and W M Sharp. He was mostly a pianist but composed a small number of mainly piano pieces. His first public concert was at Covent Garden in 1800.  He later studied with Joseph Woelfl. He bacame a member of The Philharmonic Society, London in 1813. In 1815 he went to Vienna for eight months where he met and remained friends with Ludwig Beethoven, following which he moved to Munich where he took lessons in counterpoint with Peter Winter.

[Ignaz Moscheles]

Ignaz Moscheles Born Prague 23.5.1794  Died Leipzig  10.3.1870
I understand the date on Ignaz's birth certificate is 23.5.1794 and not as frequently erroneously quoted

This month is the 150th anniversary of the death of Ignaz Moscheles.

He initially studied music at the Prague conservatory under Dionys Weber.

After the death of his father in 1805 Moscheles settled in Vienna ,  where he studied counterpoint under Johann Albrechtsberger and composition with Antonio Salieri.  It was in Vienna that he became friends with Meyerbeer and they played duets together.
From 1821 he traveled widely including  Paris, Amsterdam and London. In 1824 in Berlin he taught Mendelssohn, forming a lasting friendship which lasted until the latter's death.
He married Charlotte Embden in Hamburg in 1825 and two months later settled in London where he remained teaching , composing and performing  until 1846. He was appointed a Director of The Philharmonic Society in 1832.

Following his appointment as Professor of Piano by Mendelssohn,  he went to Leipzig where he remained for the rest of his life.
He translated 'The Life of Beethoven ' into English n 1841.

As a pianist he believed that the pedals should be used sparingly, quite the opposite to Beethoven.
In 1871 his wife wrote 'The Life of Moscheles' which included selections from his correspondence and diaries.  It is a very entertaining work.

Oratorio  1822  believed lost

I wonder which piece of romantic and incomplete music in the 'Unsung' category members would most like to see completed. On my list is the piano concerto of John Barnett.

[Thomas Molleson Mudie]

Thomas Molleson Mudie  Born 30.11.1809 in Chelsea, London  Died 24.7.1876 London

Mudie was the son of Scottish parents. In 1823 he was one of ten successful candidates for entry in the first examination for entry to the Royal Academy Of music in London. He studied under William Crotch and Cipriani Potter. He also studied clarinet under Thomas Willman.  Having completed his studies he was appointed a professor of piano at the RAM. In 1844 he went to Edinburgh as a teacher, he also gave a number of piano recitals while there.  He returned to London in 1863, where he remained for the rest of his life. 

According to Grove all his music was deposited at The RAM, however they seem to have lost a worrying amount of it. If readers can fill in the gaps it would be helpful. On a personal note; I have found the Library at the RAM to be the most unhelpful in the UK for bona fide researchers.

Guglielmo Zuelli  Born 22.10.1859  Reggio Emilia  Died  8.10.1941 Milan

After losing his parents at a young age, he went to live with his grandmother who was  extremely poor and they were both arrested for begging and imprisoned for three days.  He was then brought up in an orphanage and was fortunate to be able to study music there with Giuseppe Grisanti. After leaving the orphanage he continued his music studies at the Liceo Musicale di Bologna under Alessandro Busi and Luigi Mancinelli. He went on to hold several conducting and educational posts and was director of the Parma Conservatory in the years 1911-1929

[Stanley Harry Hawley]

Stanley Harry Hawley  Born Ilkeston, Derbyshire  17.5.1867  Died Ilkeston  13.6.1916

Stanley was the youngest of four children¹. He remained unmarried. He received most of his musical training at the Royal Academy of Music, London. He became a composer, pianist and organist and held a number of administrative posts including Hon. Secretary of the Royal Philharmonic Society.  Perhaps the least fashionable genre of classical music during the last hundred years are melodramas and recitations with musical accompaniment.  Hawley was quite prolific in composing these and was clearly successful. Some of the compositions were orchestrated as well as being for solo piano. Given a good actor, many of these are worth reviving as part of a chamber concert.  There are recordings of some of his works.

There are clearly a lot more choral and song works.  I am hoping to arouse interest in the orchestral music and quartets

There will be a very rare performance of Litolff's Piano trio No.1 in D minor on 21st November at St Pauls church Knightsbridge, London.  It is coupled with the Kakadu Variations, Beethoven and Brahms piano trio  Op.8.  Simon Callaghan,piano, Benjamin Roskams, violin and Ashok Klouda, cello.  This was composed in the period between Litolff's 3rd and 4th piano concertos.

[Frederick John Nettlefold]

Frederick John Nettlefold  Born Hastings, Sussex 1.10.1867  Died 25.4.1949

On a recent visit to a member of this forum I was shown box sets of recordings of works by Nettlefold. These were 78's on the HMV label. Never having heard of him I 'googled' the following information: He was a wealthy industrialist, principally in the manufacture of glass bottles.  He was a great patron of the arts, had a fine collection of paintings, bronzes and Martinware. He left a substantial collection of paintings to Tate Britain. He was involved in the theatre and was an amateur composer.  He was married to Vera de Villiers and following her affair with the conductor/composer Albert Coates, he terminated his patronage with a London based symphony orchestra.  It also had a lasting affect on Coates career, he never had a permanent conducting post.

The compositions which I have managed to trace are;

"Il Pensoroso"  for soprano, organ and orchestra
Dramatic song "Edward, Edward"  for tenor and orchestra
Suite for strings
Piano Trio in A major
Trio in D major for flute, cello and piano
"May Night" song for flute, cello and piano
"Youth of year"  song with piano accompaniment

"The Midnight Hour" concert waltz for piano and orchestra
"Olivia" concert waltz for piano and orchestra

Parents:
Frederick John Nettlefold 1867-1913 and Mary Catherine Warren  1834-1906

John was the eldest of 6 children:
Frederick John Nettlefold  1867-1949  inherited £349,009 from his father in 1913
Mary Edith Nettlefold  1869-1961
Archibald Nettlefold  1870-1944
Christine Mina Nettlefold  1872-1945
Dorothy Nettlefold 1874-1918
Sydney Warren Nettlefold  1878-1883

Frederick was married three times:
Ellen Maud Pratt divorced 1907
Lucy Eleanor Louisa Atcherley married 1922 divorced
Joanna Veronique Waterston Graff 1891-1973 (3 children by previous marriage)
Children with Frederick:
Mary April Nettlefold  1926-2011
Frederick Nettlefold  1927-2003
Dorothy Ann Nettlefold  1931-2014


If members are able to add to the composition list or other relevant information, it will fill in yet another small gap of long forgotten composers and music history

[Arseny Nikolayevich Koreshchenko]

Arseny Nikolayevich Koreshchenko  Born Moscow 18 December 1870 –  Died Khakiv 6 January 1921

From the age of three he began playing the piano and was soon after making up his own compositions.  At eight he played before Anton Rubenstein who, very impressed, suggested he study more formally. He studied piano with Nikolas Zverev and composition and theory with Anton Arensky. He started at the Moscow Conservatory in 1884 and graduated in 1891.  His principal teachers being Sergei Taneyev and Anton Arensky. He followed this by teaching at the Conservatory while also appearing as a pianist and composing.  In 1919 he moved to Kharkiv where he remained for the rest of his life.
