Sir George Smart (1776 1867), conductor, composer, singing teacher
and organist, was a central figure in nineteenth-century British
musical life. He is best remembered as one of the founder members
of the Philharmonic Society, for which he often conducted. Notably,
in 1826 he presided over the first performance in England of
Beethoven's ninth symphony. Smart was also much in demand as a
conductor at the major English musical festivals and on royal
occasions. These edited journal entries, first published in 1907,
provide insightful accounts of concert life at the time, and they
are particularly valuable for Smart's detailed observations -
gathered during his extensive tour of 1825 - on musical practice in
Europe, including conducting methods and performing speeds. The
journal extracts end in 1845 with an account of Smart's visit to
Bonn for the unveiling of Beethoven's statue."
