In the first half of the nineteenth century, London provided an excellent environment with abundant musical activities that attracted outstanding musicians all over the Continent to be here for their careers. Both the Industry Revolution and the French Revolution brought essential changes of political and economical activities into London, and consequently influenced the musical environment. In addition, the enthusiasm for music, from the Royal to the civics, provided a stage for the development of piano music.
