The writer, composer and organist Thomas Busby (1754–1838) published this three-volume work in 1825. Gossipy, informative and highly entertaining, it yields all manner of insights into musical life through history. The anecdotes are presented across the three volumes as a delightful potpourri, interspersed with pen portraits of eminent musicians.
