A vivid picture of the public and private life of a professional
musician in late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century London.
This well-documented life of Samuel Wesley gives a vivid picture of
the life of a professional musician in late eighteenth and early
nineteenth-century London. Wesley was born in 1766, the son of the
Methodist hymn-writer CharlesWesley and nephew of the preacher John
Wesley. He was the finest composer and organist of his generation,
but his unconventional behaviour makes him of more than ordinary
interest. He lived through a crucial stage of English musicfrom the
immediately post-Handel generation to the early Romantic period,
and his large output includes piano and organ music, orchestral
music, church music, glees, and songs. He also taught and lectured
on music, and was involved in journalism, publishing, and promoting
the music of J. S. Bach. This book draws on letters, family papers,
and other contemporary documents to offer a full study of Wesley,
his music, and his life and times. PHILIP OLLESON is Professor of
Historical Musicology at the University of Nottingham. He has
edited The Letters of Samuel Wesley: Professional and Social
Correspondence, 1797-1837, is the joint author (with Michael
Kassler) of Samuel Wesley (1766-1837): A Source Book, and has
written extensively about other aspects of music in England in the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
