Collection Overview

Collection Description & Creator Information

Scope and Contents

First and second violin parts only. Not in ESTC online, although as a significant part of the book (title and subscription list) is in letterpress, it should be. Festing (1705-52) was a leading figure on the London musical scene for almost thirty years, but is dismissed by Burney but his compositions were highly praised by Hawkins. The subscription list here shows that he was well connected, with subscribers including the Prince of Wales, the Countess of Chesterfield, the Hon. Edward Walpole, Richard Nash (i.e. Beau Nash), and others of the musical nobility.
