Excerpt from Balfe: His Life and Work
To pursue the course of this prologue, and to Show the condition of the musical inheritance Balfe was destined to augment and to improve, it is necessary to say a few words more upon the subject of music at the beginning of the present century in this kingdom.
The people had not wholly cleared their minds of prejudice against the foreigner, and it was only the enlightened few who knew the works of the great geniuses living and working abroad. Handel, for all that he had lived the greater part of his life in England, and had written and produced all his best works in this country, was little known to the masses. Haydn was alive, but old and weak, Mozart had only been laid in his unknown pauper's grave some dozen years, but to the people of England all these great men were for the most. Part only names, if so much.
