Vita
Fast alle Lexika schweigen, wenn es um Informationen zu W[illiam] Fish geht. Lediglich ein Londoner Musik-Diktionär des Jahres 1824 kennt seinen Namen und führt ihn als lebenden Komponisten: |
Since this period, Fish has exercised his profession in various ways. On the death of his former preceptor, the justly celebrated Michael Sharp, it fell to his lot to be appointed to the situation he vacated as principal hautboy at the public concerts at Norwich, then under the direction of the Rev. E. Glover. On his instrument he continued to perform several years, occasionally playing concertos. The last five years he has been leading the principal professional concerts at Norwich, and the annual oratorios at the cathedral, for the benefit of the Norfolk and Norwich hospital, also himself giving series of concerts at intervals. The following is a list of his principal works: […] 'Fantasia, Harp', dedicated to Miss Beevor […]." [aus: Dictionary of Musicians, London 1824, Vol. 1, S. 249 f.] |
