Excerpt from Offenbach in America: Notes of a Travelling Musician
Everybody in that house was more or less of a musician, from the father down to the youngest son, whom death carried off so early, and who was said to be gifted with much talent. The house in the Rue de la Cloche had a modest appearance; the family was a large one, and the father's income did not allow Of excessive expenses. I was often told in my young days that Father Offenbach had to make the greatest sacrifices to enable his son Jacques to take music lessons.
