Note 68 — ANCIENT CONCERTS.
Reading edition
How much good music is to be found in our libraries, that is utterly unknown to the public! It is a curious fact, that an entire opera by Haydn, the full score in his own hand-writing, and which not only has never been performed, but has never been seen, except by very few persons, is now in the possession of a gentleman in London! It was composed for the King’s Theatre, but never paid for, therefore never delivered.—Editor.
