Mrs. Lucy Anderson, the eminent pianist, 1862. 'At the age of fifteen she appeared with so much success at a concert in Bath that she immediately attracted the attention of the public of that very musical city. Encouraged by this debut, she was induced to visit the metropolis, where her reputation was speedily established. At this time she became the wife of Mr. G. F. Anderson, now the eminent director of her Majesty's private band...It was Mrs. Anderson who first introduced to the acquaintance of the English public one of the greatest works of Beethoven, in which instrumental and vocal music are combined in a manner entirely original; his fantasia for the pianoforte, orchestra, and chorus, in celebration of the powers of music...In the year 1832 she...was commanded by the Duchess of Kent to give lessons to Princess Victoria; and she continued to instruct her Majesty until a few weeks before her marriage. In 1837 she was nominated pianist to the Queen. In 1845 her Majesty appointed her the musical instructress to the Princess Royal; and since that period the musical tuition of the Royal children has been, and still is, committed entirely to her care'.
