CHATTERTON, John Balsie, eminent harpist, born at Norwich 1810 [App. p.584 "about 1802"], studied under Bochsa and Labarre [App. p.584 adds "first appearance at a concert of Aspull's in 1824"]; succeeded Bochsa as professor of the harp at the Royal Academy, and in 1844 [App. p.584 "1842"] was appointed harpist to the Queen. He retained both appointments till his death, which took place in London in 1871 [App. p.584 "April 11"]. Chatterton wrote much for the harp, chiefly operatic selections.
