23Thalberg, Sigismund (Geneva, 1812–1871, Naples). Distinguished Swiss pianist (natural son of an Austrian nobleman), brought up in Vienna, pupil of Mittag, Sechter and Hummel, appearing privately when about fourteen and from 1830 recognized as a virtuoso of extraordinary capacity, so that from 1834 he held the title of court-pianist at Vienna. From 1835 he was somewhat steadily on tour, securing great applause in Paris, London and most of the other leading capitals. In 1856–57 he visited Brazil and the United States. In 1851 and '55 his operatic experiments resulted disastrously. After 1858 he lived mostly at his villa in Posillipo (n. Naples), but in 1862 made a tour to Paris and London and in 1863 to Brazil. He was one of the most finished executants of his time, excelling in every device of agility and effect, with notable control of melodic smoothness and tone-color. But his capacity as interpreter was not remarkable and his taste ran mainly to showy and shallow salon-music. His works (about 100 in all) include a concerto in F min., a piano-trio in A, a sonata in C min., a long line of fantasias, divertissements, impromptus and variations on themes mostly derived from operas from Weber to Verdi, 3 chief Nocturnes and 5 others, 2 Caprices, a Scherzo, a Tarantelle, a Ballade, a Marche Funèbre, several Valses, Romances, Études, etc., besides over 50 songs and the operas Florinda, 1851, and Cristina di Svezia, 1855.
