HOLMES
(William Henry or W.H., 1812-1885, Pianist and Composer, Teacher at the Royal Academy of Music)
Long Autograph Letter Signed to Mrs Lloyd Roberts
acknowledging receipt of “5/- for my ‘Notes upon Notes’ & to thank you very much. A lady wrote to me last year... I can hardly recollection now, what it was about unless connected with the Royal Academy of Music. I hope your Concert will be a success. I shall indeed be proud to again have the privilege of giving you lessons - I have two piano fortes, side by side, which I consider a great advantage in giving lessons... Yesterday, I continued a series of lessons, to a noble lady, who played well about two years before I was born - and about that period Beethoven began to be talked about in Germany - & this Lady got a Composition of Beethoven, & took it to her Master; who requested she wd never bring such rubbish to him again - music has advanced since then...” he continues about the many eminent teachers the pupil has had and sends him “a piece of mine called ‘The Presentation’ dedicated to a pupil of mine of the 3rd Generation... her paper happened to be in attendance on the Queen...”, 4 sides 8vo., 36 Beaumont Street, Marylebone, 26th August
