Me (Mistissimo) at the grave of the composer and pianist Sydney Smith (1839-1889)
Edward Sydney Smith was a prolific composer of delightful pieces for the piano (and a handful of songs) who enjoyed immense renown in his own day, but whose popularity faded after his early death at the age of 49. With a couple of friends I decided to post my unique collection of all his known works on the net to mark his anniversary in 1989. The site is at www.sydneysmitharchive.org.uk - where anyone can download for free some 400 compositions.
