In the most unexpected of circumstances, a chance discovery of discarded music books on a street lead me to learning about Adolf Ruthardt. While his name may not be widely known, the influence of this composer is resurfacing. Born into a musical household and eventually becoming a distinguished piano professor, Ruthardt's contributions to the world of music have been overshadowed by the passage of time. Let us have a little look at the legacy of Adolf Ruthardt. Countless talented individuals have faded into obscurity, their contributions nearly lost. Among them, is Adolf Rutherhard. Sure some other Adolf artists are more remembered such as, Adolphe Adam famous for writing O’ holy Night, or Adolphe Sax, the inventor of the saxophone. Let us celebrate the talents of the forgotten Adolfs and bring their melodies back to life, one note at a time. |
