Sir Charles V. Stanford, Mus; Doc;, M. A., D. C. L (Classic Reprint) - John F Porte

Excerpt from Sir Charles V. Stanford, Mus; Doc;, M. A., D. C. L
The case of Stanford is not exactly a happy one. He is undoubtedly one of the Parry Group and his early work is wrapt in their idiom. Unlike Elgar, Stanford was brought up in academical surroundings. He was a known prodigy-pianist and child-composer. His parents were well connected and were in a position to carry his education to a University finish and see him win a Classical scholarship and ma. Degree. Elgar was, on the other hand, left for the most part to his own devices. What music he learned was picked up by Observation, and long, laborious study.
Recognition came at long last to be almost invariably in the ascendant.
Stanford's career was brilliant at first, and he was famous before Elgar was generally known to exist.
