18th century

Charles Burney (1726–1814) was an English organist and composer who became the leading music historian of his generation. Born in Shrewsbury and active in London, he is remembered above all for the four-volume A General History of Music (1776–1789), a landmark Enlightenment survey built from wide reading and contemporary enquiry. He also chronicled major public musical life in Britain, including the Handel commemorations documented in his Account of the Musical Performances in Westminster Abbey

Quotes

  • “He certainly over-heated himself at Venice by walking at a season when it is said that only Dogs and Englishmen are seen out of doors at noon, all else lie down in the middle of the day.”
  • “With respect to excellence of Style and Composition, it may perhaps be said that to practised ears the most pleasing Music is such as has the merit of novelty, added to refinement, and ingenious contrivance; and to the ignorant, such as is most familiar and common.”
  • “The umbrage given to Cuzzoni by her [ Faustina Bordoni's] coming hither, proves that as Turkish monarchs can bear no brother near the throne, an aspiring sister is equally obnoxious to a theatrical Queen.”
