Hulett

Biography

Hulett is named by Spillane, together with Von Hagen and Gilfert, as one of the pianists and teachers whose names 'stand out' among the earliest exponents of the pianoforte in the United States. Spillane places this trio in relation to the 'early chapters of this work,' indicating they were treated in fuller detail earlier in the book than the pages excerpted here. In this passage the author credits early figures such as Hulett with helping establish musical culture and the pianoforte as an art instrument in America during the nation's first century of independence, but provides no further individual biographical detail — no dates, full name, or specific achievements — beyond this collective acknowledgment.

Highlights
