The French virtuoso pianist and composer Henri Herz was not only a star in Dublin and London, but was also well-known in 1830s Sydney, where pianos he had specially selected in London and Paris were exported to NSW and sold here by his friend William Vincent Wallace. Sheet music of Herz’s latest compositions was also highly sought after in Sydney, such as this set of ‘brilliant variations’ on a theme from Ferdinand Hérold’s new 1832 opera of ‘Zampa’.
