Description: | The t��rogat�� is a national instrument of Hungary, originating from the shawm. This twelve-keyed, ebonised wooden t��rogat�� resembles a large, wide clarinet in appearance. It has silver-plated nickel ferrules, springs, and keywork. The pads of the t��rogat�� are made from leather.
The t��rogat�� was brought to Covent Garden, London by Hans Richter at the turn of the 20th century. Richter used the t��rogat�� for the part of the Shepherd's pipe in Wagner's Tristan and Isolde.
At Richter's suggestion, the t��rogat�� was also used as a substitute for the shofar in performances of Elgar's Apostles by the Hall�� Orchestra, Manchester. This particular t��rogat�� was played, by Leonard Brough, on many such occasions. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Horniman Museum and Gardens | Rights holder: | Horniman Museum, London | Subjects: | Leisure | Temporal: | 1850-1875 | Source: | Horniman Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
