Autograph annual report of the RMCM

This report appears incomplete. Brodsky pays tribute to the piano teacher Dayas who died the previous spring. Dayas taught at the college for 7 years until his untimely death at the age of 39. Brodsky has had difficulty in replacing Dayas but has now found Mr. Arthur Friedheim who like Dayas was also a pupil of Liszt and had been mentioned by Dayas to his pupils. Brodsky has made another new appointment: Thomas Poulter, who gained the Teachers' Diploma with distinction has been appointed violin teacher. Brodsky is delighted at the increasing number of their students in the Hallé Orchestra.
