About

Throughout the 18th century, Bohemia’s finest musicians were emigrating to other countries. On the other hand, musicians from the west were traveling to Eastern European countries and beyond to expand their musical activities. The music scene everywhere was stirring with musicians from abroad. In Russia, Italian composers and music teachers who fled from the French revolution were contributing to music society there. In particular, the Russian capital St. Petersburg, with all its splendour and wealth, had a great attraction for talented musicians coming from Europe.

From Krumpholtz to Glinka is a remarkable journey in the history of the single-action harp. Through this journey one will be able to savour the aromas of the countries in which these composers have lived or travelled.

While the history of the single-action harp slowly moved towards its end when Sebastien Erard invented the double-action harp in 1810, the melancholic resonance of the single-action harp still remained for a while until the middle of the 19th century. Who could forget so easily the infinite nuance and the delicate sound of the single-action harp?
