Although widely known and respected in their day in Bath and beyond, the Windsors' swift fall into obscurity is emblematic of the nineteenth century's changing attitudes, a shift in focus towards London, and burgeoning romantic ideals. The family's patriarch, James William Windsor (1779-1853), achieved eminence not only as teacher to some of the nineteenth century's most prominent concert pianists, but as a universally respected and admired musician, esteemed for his kindness and modesty just as much as his musical ability. Supported by the Royal College of Music’s Windsor Collection, the story of his rise from humble beginnings to middle-class respectability is told alongside those of his wife, Alicia (née Daniels), and their several musical children. As one whose career began firmly in the classical period and ended in the romantic, the many debates and upheavals in England's musical world in which Windsor operated are considered along the way, besides the slow and steady decline of Bath's relevance as a fashionable destination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJonathan Frank \u003c\/b\u003eis an Assistant Librarian at the Royal College of Music, London.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e05 May 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTaylor \u0026amp; Francis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRoutledge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781032879383\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e256\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63761392631948,"sku":"9781032879383","price":210.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781032879383","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
