An
imaginative first violin
book, featuring 12 music
sketches with fingering
and tips on technique and
reading music, inspired
by the composer's
experience teaching a
young boy named Peter,
and the musical pictures
they painted
together.
Comp
oser and critic Cyril
Carr Dalmaine graduated
from the Royal College of
Music and was Music
master at Uppington
School before going on to
become chorus master to
the BBC. He is most
famous for coining the
term 'Lord Haw-Haw' in
his work as radio critic
of the Daily Express
under the pseudonym Jonah
Barrington, in reference
to the Nazi propaganda
broadcasts of William
Joyce during the Second
World
War.
Dalmaine was
also a record presenter
in the pre-1955 days and
responsible for the
'discovery' of the then
deceased Italian tenor,
Alessandro Valente,
giving Valente enjoyed a
considerable posthumous
vogue. As a composer
Dalmaine wrote chamber
music, and transcribed
the cantatas of J.S. Bach
to piano as well as a
wide range of piano and
string works published by
Forsyth. His works such
as Variation from
Versailles and Pathway to
the Proms remain in print
and are well worth
re-discovering, while his
arrangements of popular
classics in our
Silhouette Series remain
best sellers.
