A Pianoforte Recital by Mrs. NORMAN O'NEILL

Mrs.' Norman O'Neill was born in Paris, and received her first musical training at the Conservatoire there, later studying with Clara, 
Schumann in Frankfurt. It was in Frankfurt that she first met her future husband, Norman O'Neill , also a student in that city. Her debut was made at the Salle Erard in Paris. Coming to London, she played at the old St. James's ' Pops,' later at the ' Proms,' under Sir Henry Wood , and at many important concerts throughout the country. When St. Paul's Girls' School was founded in 1904, Mrs. O'Neill was appointed principal music mistress. In 1906, Gustav Holst took over the direction of the singing, the orchestra, harmony, and composition in this school. 
Of late years Mrs. O'Neill has devoted a good deal of time to teaching, but has found time to broadcast on many welcome occasions. Her interpretation of Scarlatti is a very personal feature of her recitals, but, as this programme shows, she is at home in every period-classical, romantic, and modern. 
Domenico Scarlatti wrote operas, but his great claim to fame lies in his harpsichord music. He is said to be the founder of modern keyboard execution, and, by his study of the peculiar characteristic of the harpsichord, a pioneer of the free style in composing keyboard music. His compositions for the harpsichord number many hundseds, but modern interest centres mainly in the sonatas, of which some sixty are available in published form.
