Jacques Blumenthal (4 October 182917 May 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 Halévy.〔Frederick Corder, rev. by David J. Golby, "Blumenthal, Jacques (Jacob), in ''The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', H.C.G. Matthew and Brian Harrison, eds. (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2004), vol. 6, p. 331.〕 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, Léonie Souvoroff Blumenthal, ''née'' Gore, assigned the copyrights of his music to the Royal Society of Musicians.〔 ==Selected works== * "The Message" (1864) * "The Requital" (1864) * "We Two" (1879) * "Christ the pilgrim" (1884) * "My Queen" (1885) * "O Waly, Waly" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jacques Blumenthal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
