Jelajahi sheet piano oleh Sigismond Thalberg di Zen Virtual Piano. Classical-pianists.net describes Thalberg’s playing as marked by grace, elegance and perfection of finish in detail, with a style that was suave, courteous and aristocratic. It names his specialty as wrapping a melody in arabesques and ornamental scale and arpeggio passages, played with rapidity, clearness and brilliancy. A melody kept in front while scales and arpeggios wrap around it suggests a style in which the tune and its decoration were heard together. Sigismond Thalberg was born in Geneva on 8 January 1812. At the age of ten he visited Vienna and received his first instruction from a bassoonist of the Imperial Court Opera Orchestra, and he then studied under Sechter, a master of composition theory, and under the pianists and composers Hummel and Czerny. He became a favourite of the salons at fourteen and published his first work at sixteen. A salon favourite at fourteen who published a first work at sixteen can be read as a young musician already working in public life while still in his teens. Britannica notes that he began performing in Viennese salons at fourteen, toured Germany and England in 1830, and in 1834 took the post of court pianist in Vienna. In 1836 he moved to Paris, where, according to Britannica, a famous rivalry developed with Liszt. In 1842 he was decorated with the Cross of the French Legion of Honour. Salons in Vienna, tours across Germany and England and a post at court suggest a reputation that grew in many rooms across borders. Between the late 1830s and the 1850s Thalberg toured the world with artists such as Bernard Ullmann, Strakosch and Henri Vieuxtemps, travelling to the United States, Brazil, Belgium, Holland, Russia and Spain. In 1855 he set out on a concert tour through Brazil and then visited the United States in 1856; he made a second Brazilian tour in 1863 and in 1864 retired to Naples, finally settling in Posillipo, where he died in 1871. He also arranged opera productions, married the daughter of the opera singer Luigi Lablache, and wrote two operas of his own, Florinda (1851) and another in 1855, both of which had little success. Long tours that ended in a settled home in Posillipo, next to two operas that found little success, leave the impression of a musician whose reputation rested on the keyboard more than on the opera house.
