My Music
I perform
music that Jane Austen would have known, heard and even
played herself.
My choice has been largely influenced by the collection
of music held by the Jane Austen Memorial Trust at Chawton in Hampshire.
It includes sonatas, sonatinas and smaller works by
Pleyel, Clementi, Dussek, Haydn and many others. I also
play music from operas and musical theatre of late
eighteenth century England. Arrangements of songs by
Dibdin, Arne, Linley, Hook and Storace, as well as a wide
variety of country dance music, complete the repertoire.
