James Waterson (!834-1893)

Wrote many works for the clarinet
4 Quartets, 3 Trios, several duets, solos and studies
He seems to have attached "Grand" to the title of most of his works

He was a clarinet student at Kneller Hall, the Royal Military School of
Music, Twickenham, Middlesex, England. The manuscripts of some
of his works are there. He became Bandmaster to the Viceroy of India.

Curried Mendelssohn
