Colonel Thorn’s Salon – Adrien Garreau and Sigismond Thalberg

I have enjoyed finding out which artists performed at Colonel Thorn’s salon in Paris. It helps paint a vivid picture of the times. Most recently, I have found a mention of Mr Adrien Garreau, an exalted cellist.

Mr Garreau has come to this country on the recommendation of the Ambassador of France to Washington and was heard in Paris at Colonel Thorn’s…

There is also mention of virtuoso pianist, Sigismond Thalberg who was a direct rival of Liszt’s.
