Anton Heinrich
Room
| Anton Philip Heinrich (1781 - 1861) was a concert violinist of Bohemia. In about 1817, having lost
his fortune to misadventure and his wife to illness, he settled in a log cabin outside Bardstown.
Here, in 1818, at the request of some ladies, he made his first musical composition. Heinrich set to music an ode
How Sleep the Brave for a memorial in honor of the Bardstown Company lost in the Battle of the River
Raisin, near Detroit. This composition was played for the first time in a small concert held at the Talbott
Tavern. He spend the next several years composing the Dawning of Music in Kentucky.
Shortly before his death, Heinrich chaired the group that formed the New York Philharmonic Orchestra.
On a trip to Europe, he was acclaimed "America's Beethoven." |
