Opis

The Longy Club was a large chamber wind ensemble made up entirely of members of the Boston Symphony and founded by the principal oboist, Georges Longy. Longy and several of the other players had been students of the musicians of the famous Societe de Musique de Chambre pour Instruments a Vent in Paris which had commissioned the well-known Petite Symphonie by Gounod. Repertoire lists--This book includes a complete repertoire list of both the Longy Club and the Societe de Musique de Chambre pour Instruments a Vent. The numerous reviews of several Boston newspapers provide a fascinating view of musical taste in Boston during the first years of the 20th century."
