From Alina D’Wonnik
August Arnold, who came to London from Germany in 1854. taught at Kneller Hall which eventually became the Royal Military School of Music. He was Professor of Music there but I have so far been unable to locate any additional information. The RMSM has now relocated to Portsmouth and Kneller Hall has become a school. There is a fascinating history of the evolution of military bands in the UK and how a recruitment drive for musicians was initiated in the mid-19th century to improve the standard of playing. Unrest within the Germany during that time would have made the UK an enticing proposition for anyone looking to escape the turmoil and take a position teaching/composing music.
