by W. H. SQUIRE
W H. SQUIRE , one of the most popular of English
'cellists, made his first appearance as long ago as 1891 at the old St. James' Hall in Piccadilly. It was not long before he was made principal 'cellist at the Royal Opera, Covent Garden, and when the Queen's Hall Orchestra was formed, he became inevitably an important member of it.
Since then he has played in ; most of the principal London orchestras, but for many years now he has confined his appearances on the concert platform to the rôle of soloist. He has written a number of very popular pieces for his own instrument, and as a composer of successful songs he is known to every amateur singer in the country. '
