Full title: A Collection of Original Strathspey Reels with Variations, Waltzes, Marches, Irish Airs &c and A New Sonata for the Piano Forte Violin or German Flute Dedicated to the Right Honourable Lady Madelina Sinclair by a Young Lady Never before Published.

Publisher: Edinburgh: Urbani & Liston

Printer: Urbani & Liston

Date: 1804

Description:

At GB-En, the Glen copy is signed NCE [HCE?]. The collection includes a piece based on the birds in Stedman's Narrative of Surinam, and some geographical references are colonial; the last page juxtaposes Walthamstow and Merchiston.

Notes:

The settings are mostly pianistic, but a few strathspeys and reels towards the end of the book show a halfway house between 'classical' piano writing and the familiar bassline styles.

Gore: L2

Biographical info: The ‘Young Lady’ may have been Catherine E. White, who registered the book in Stationers’ Hall on 17 August 1804.
