Eventide by Catharina Josepha Pratten (1824-1895)
 Catharina Josepha Pratten (1824-1895) was a German guitar virtuoso, composer and teacher, also known as Madame Sidney Pratten. Catharina began touring in Europe from the age of eight, and by 1844 was well known in England as a composer and guitar teacher. She soon established her own school – Madame Sidney Pratten’s Guitar School – and published tutorials. Her pupils included Queen Victoria’s daughters Louise, Princess of Wales and Beatrice, and the actor, singer, guitarist and composer Ernest Shand. Pratten composed some 250 works, most of them for solo guitar or voice and guitar. |
