Publisher Synopsis
... an excellent example of combining extensive research with a simple but effective presentation of its results. Hudebni veda (Musicology) There is plenty here to engage the historian of London musical life of the time and to deepen our knowledge of it. Early Music Today To characterize the book as providing the most thorough documentation of the habits of a mid-18th-century music-loving family is accurate, but hardly does justice to the wealth of facts, opinions and desires of the individuals here laid bare. No one is going to fault Donald Burrows and Rosemary Dunhill for their editorial efforts. The front and back matter and notes are exemplary. The editors explain the complex interrelationships of families and friends in admirably concise and understandable prose ... The typesetting and printing are excellent. Early Music Admirable ... a rich resource ... The mass of material makes an excellent hunting ground for scholars of eighteenth-century music and drama.
