chronological error
[edit]There might be something wrong with the timetable. It states:
"February-July 1844: concerts in London at "Royal Philarmonic Society" and at "Princess Concert Room" where he performed the "Gran Concerto in C major for harp and orchestra op. 60", some of his most famous Fantasias, the"Overture: The Legend of Teignmouth", the "Concerto in G minor for piano and orchestra op. 90" and the "Concertino in D minor for 2 harps and orchestra op. 91""
But the Alvars' autograph of op. 91 suggests that the piece was finished April 14th 1845; if that's true, it can't be performed in 1844. (look at http://www.parishalvars.com/images.html) I don't have time to look in to it, but perhaps someone else has.

"His health worsened suddenly"
[edit]This is all hogwash. Parish fell ill already in 1846 which is also the reason why he died in poverty, because his medical treatment had used up all his assets.--146.255.63.11 (talk) 10:24, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
