George J. Elvey - late 19th Century
from Life and Reminiscences of Sir George J. Elvey, page 290:
"The church we attend here is badly off for music, and the organist, who seems to have plenty of command of the instrument, cannot play a chant or hymn tune properly. He cannot keep quiet, but is always trying to embellish the music with runs and shakes ; he could not let even poor old Nare's 'Kyrie ' alone yesterday
morning.
