Eliza Wesley (1819-1895), born to Samuel Wesley and Sarah Suter was an organist and music editor. Her mother was Samuel Wesley's second wife. Eliza is the granddaughter to Charles Wesley, grandniece of John Wesley, and sister to Samuel Sebastian Wesley (1810-1876).[1] She lived to the age of 76.
Eliza Wesley worked as the organist at St Katherine Coleman's, Fenchurch Street[2] and St Margaret Pattens Rd Lane.[3]
Throughout her life, Eliza Wesley advocated for her father's musical legacy to receive public recognition.[4]
The publication of Letters of Samuel Wesley to Mr. Jacobs, Organist of Surrey Chapel, Relating to the Introduction into This Country of the Works of John Sebastian Bach Edited by His Daughter Eliza Wesley (London: William Reeves) in 1875 was seen as a crucial influence in making Bach's music more widely known at the time.[5]
Eliza Wesley indexed her father's musical repertoire for Sir George Grove's "Dictionary of Music".
Eliza Welsey's autograph album of notable persons of her time, such as Dickens, Macready, Garibaldi and Mendelssohn,[6] is now available at the British Museum .[2]
Her Obituaries emphasize her strong role in publishing through regular contributions to musical periodicals and her connection with other organists and musicians of her time.[3][2]
She is laid to rest at Highgate Cemetery.
