chronological error
editThere 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"
editThis 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)
