Louis Spohr (1784-1859) was one of the most popular musicians of
the early Romantic period, but of his considerable output
(including 10 symphonies, 15 violin concertos, nine operas and a
large amount of chamber music), only the Octet op.32 and the Nonet
op.31 are heard regularly today. Spohr established his name as a
virtuoso violinist and completed his Violin method in 1831. As a
conductor, he contributed to the increasing use of the baton to
direct performances. He travelled widely in Europe, visiting London
for the first time in 1820, when he directed a Philharmonic Society
concert, and returning four times between 1843 and 1853. This
autobiography, begun in 1847, gives a lively (but not necessarily
always accurate) account of life as a professional musician.
Spohr's own account ends at June 1838, and the book was completed
by family members using materials provided by his wife.
