BUSSON (M.): - Westrop (Thomas),
ed.
Busson’s Tutor
for the Organ-Accordion, or Harmoniflute (the organine and
piano-flutina). With complete instructions, exercises, scales, and
eighty melodies. Price one shilling.
Published by Charles Sheard …
, circa
1855
FIRST EDITION, with a plate illustrating the instrument,
viewed from both front and rear and hand positions, many
music examples, 46-pages, 4to, original yellow pictorial printed
paper wrappers: light signs of use, but a good to very good copy
in original state.
An early and decidedly uncommon tutor: we have failed to find a copy
in COPAC, WorldCat or elsewhere. The Parisian Busson is best known
for, and generally credited with, the invention of the Piano Accordion in
1855, though that is disputed in German sources.

Keynes 76. Hazlitt was particularly influential as an art critic, in his
lifetime and after. George Eliot refers to him in ‘Middlemarch’ as ‘the
most brilliant English critic of the day’. Ruskin, though reluctant to
acknowldge it, was strongly influenced by his ability to unite subjective
evocation and analysis.
