Miscellaneous information
Scuderi is occasionally mentioned for his compositions in the British press from 1871 and performed in several concerts that year. In 1874, he gave his address as 56 George Street, Euston Square. By 1887, for a concert at Steinway Hall, London, he was described as a "composer, violinist, tenor vocalist, conductor, and player of the mandolin and cetra-banjo." In 1894, he gave a concert at St James's Hall, along with other artists, where he was described as "an esteemed and popular professor of the London Academy of Music" and had added the guitar to his repertoire of instruments. His address in 1895, as recorded in the London Post Office Directory, was 16 Bishop Road, Bayswater, where he was listed as a "Teacher of Music." According to his probate valuation of 1927, he died at 5 Robertson Street, St Leonards-on-Sea, Sussex, England, leaving an estate valued at £281 11s 7d. Coincidentally, there is also a recorded "Professor of Music" living in the United Kingdom named Antoni Scuderi (1844 or 1846–1901), who may have been a brother. He is listed in the 1881 census as living in Mannheim, Yorkshire, and giving his birthplace as Trapani in Sicily. He had been a violinist at the Covent Garden Opera and also for the Hallé Orchestra.
