Note 18 — "FAUST" IN MUSIC
Reading edition
Henry Hugh Pearson was born at Oxford in 1815. He settled in Germany, where he found a more congenial musical atmosphere than was to be had at that time in England. After writing for a little while under the pseudonym of "Edgar Mansfeldt," he reverted to his own name, but metamorphosed it into Henri Hugo Pierson. His "Music to the Second Part of Goethe's Faust" was brought out at Hamburg in 1854. Pierson died in 1873.
