- Abstract:
- Manuscript, in a single hand, of a detailed plan for a public music school in England, to be established at the Foundling Hospital in London. Burney, with his friend violinist Felice Giardini, gives reasons why the plan would be financially beneficial to the hospital and economically effective for the country, how the school would "contribute greatly to the maintenance & instruction of a considerable number of the children of the Hospital," how the school would help remedy "the neglect of music as a profession" in Great Britain, and how to find students among "numerous charity schools, work houses, etc." He also includes a proposed schedule and salary for its instructors.
