The organist and writer William Spark (1823-97) is best remembered
for his active role in the Leeds musical scene, notably his
involvement in the People's Concerts and the Leeds Festival. Spark
had been articled to the organist and composer Samuel Sebastian
Wesley in 1840 and accompanied him when he moved to Leeds two years
later. Following several posts as an organist, he worked with Henry
Smart on the design of the organ for Leeds town hall in 1858,
giving regular recitals on it thereafter. He wrote on a wide
variety of musical topics and the present work, first published in
1888, brings together his personal reminiscences and anecdotes. The
pen portraits of eminent musicians - including conductor Sir
Michael Costa, composer Felix Mendelssohn and soprano Adelina Patti
- offer a remarkably informed insight into the development of
musical culture in the nineteenth century.
