Bibliographic reference (only) in Randall C. Merris, Instruction Manuals
for the English, Anglo, and Duet Concertina: An Annotated Bibliography:
Blagrove, Richard Manning,

Elementary and Progressive Exercises.

“Blagrove (1826/27-1895) was a major figure among classical concertina
performers and arrangers. He was a member of the
Case-Blagrove-Regondi-Sedgwick quartet (founded in 1844), gave hundreds
of concertina recitals, including one in 1868 at
Windsor Castle at the invitation of Queen Victoria, and actively commissioned
chamber music for the instrument.
Blagrove’s father (also Richard) and brothers, Henry Gamble and William,
were well-known violinists; see Atlas, The
Wheatstone English Concertina, especially Chapters 4-6, and on the family,
The New Grove Dictionary of Music and
Musicians, 2nd ed., ed. Stanley Sadie and John Tyrrell
(London: Macmillan, 2001) 3, 670-671.” (Full tutor not available.)

The Lachenal Sisters Visit Edinburgh, 1865–1866
-
by Robert Gaskins
-
At Christmas of 1865–1866, three young daughters of the late Louis Lachenal gave a
series of concerts in Edinburgh introducing “concerted music” played
on treble, tenor, and bass concertinas. We think this was also exactly the period when
Lachenal & Co. had lost their contract to manufacture concertinas for Wheatstone,
making it important to publicize Lachenal’s own brand.
Based on clippings from The Scotsman newspaper, Edinburgh, notices of
concerts and reviews, October 1865 through January 1866.
