Grove, George
Sir George Grove (13 August 182028 May 1900) was an English engineer and writer on music, known as the founding editor of ''Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians''. Grove was trained as a civil engineer, and successful in that profession, but his love of music drew him into musical administration. When responsible for the regular orchestral concerts at the Crystal Palace, he wrote a series of programme notes from which eventually grew his musical dictionary.

Grove was the first director of the Royal College of Music, from its foundation in 1883 until his retireme ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
