Squire
William Henry Squire (1871–1963) was a British cellist and composer born in Ross-on-Wye who studied at the Royal College of Music and went on to teach there and at the Guildhall School of Music for much of his long career. He died in 1963 at the age of ninety-one, having witnessed cello playing develop from the instrument's relatively modest orchestral role to its full stature as a solo voice. His pedagogical compositions for cello, concise, musical, and carefully graded, are still encountered in teaching studios and examination programmes, outlasting much of the concert repertoire he performed during his career.
