Classical music of the United Kingdom - Music of the 19th century
In the early 19th century, the Irish composer and virtuoso pianist John Field was highly influentual in his style of playing which is thought to have been an inspiration to Schumann, Chopin and Liszt. He is credited with having invented the nocturne as a musical form. Later in the century, another Irishman, Charles Villiers Stanford would also exert a strong musical influence.
During this period, the Edinburgh-born Sir Alexander Campbell Mackenzie was renowned in Britain as a composer and conductor. He celebrated his native Scotland in his two Scottish Rhapsodies for orchestra and in a fantasia for pianoforte and orchestra on Scottish themes.
Sir Arthur Seymour Sullivan is best remembered for his collaborations with the dramatist and librettist William S. Gilbert and for their operettas, such as The Pirates of Penzance (1880), The Mikado (1885) and The Gondoliers (1889).
Towards the end of the century, Edward Elgar gained public acclaim with, for example, the Enigma Variations (1899), his first major orchestral work.
This century saw the trend towards larger orchestras and correspondingly larger musical venues, permitting public concerts for mass audiences. Covent Garden's Royal Opera House was opened in 1858, on the site of an earlier theatre; the Royal Albert Hall was built in 1878. The Crystal Palace concerts were inaugurated in 1855, with August Manns as the principal conductor, directing some 20,000 concerts.
Orchestras which were founded in this period include the Hallé Orchestra, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra was not founded until 1946.
