Richard Walthew
Concerto for Clarinet and Piano
Richard Walthew
Richard Henry Walthew (1872–1951) is one of music history’s unjustifiably neglected composers. As a student he was a contemporary (and friend) of Ralph Vaughan Williams at the Royal College of Music, where he studied composition with Hubert Parry. Walthew built a varied career of teaching, lecturing, writing program notes for various concert series, performing (as a pianist), and of course, composing. Some of his works attained great popularity in his lifetime. He composed in most genres, but was especially regarded as a chamber music composer, and among his chamber works are numerous compositions including the clarinet.
