BACHE, See also:FRANCIS See also:EDWARD (1833–1888) , See also:English musical composer, was See also:born in See also:Birmingham on the 14th of See also:September 1833. The See also:pupil of See also:Alfred Mellon for See also:violin and Sterndale See also:Bennett for See also:composition, he afterwards went to See also:Leipzig in 1853 and studied with See also:Hauptmann and Plaidy. Considering the See also:early See also:age at which he died, his compositions are fairly numerous, and the best, a trio for piano and strings, is still held in high esteem. Two operettas, a piano See also:concerto and a number of published See also:pianoforte pieces and songs do little mbre than show how See also:great was his promise. He died at Birmingham of See also:consumption on the 24th of See also:August 1858. His younger See also:brother, See also:WALTER BACHE (1842-1888), was born in Birmingham on the 19th of See also:June 1842, and followed him to the Leipzig Conservatorium, where he became an excellent pianist. From 1862 to 1865 he studied with See also:Liszt in See also:Rome, and for many years devoted himself to the task of winning popularity for his See also:master's See also:works in See also:England. At his See also:annual concerts in See also:London nearly all Liszt's larger works were heard for the first See also:time in England, and on the occasion of Liszt's last visit to England in 1886, he was entertained by Bache at a memorable reception at the Grosvenor See also:Gallery. Walter Bache was See also:professor of the pianoforte at the Royal See also:Academy of See also:Music for some years before his See also:death, and the See also:foundation of the Liszt scholarship at that institution was mainly due to his efforts. He died in London on the 26th of See also:March 1888. An interesting memoir of the two See also:brothers, by See also:Miss See also:Constance Bache. appeared in 1901 under the See also:title Brother Musicians.
