Edinburgh Excitement!

Our friends at Edinburgh University Library’s Centre for Research Collections have been Edinburgh Treble Clefcataloguing their historical music collections, and it was with great excitement that I found these Excel spreadsheets online this evening!  Looking at the Reid Concert Hall Cupboard sequence, I found Thomas Hamley Butler’s Gin a body meet a body – a piano rondo from 1810.  It was registered at Stationers’ Hall on 13 April that year.  It’s very late at night, so I didn’t keep looking, but this certainly entices me to look much, much more closely.  Extraordinary useful lists, and fabulously fun!
