Diary entry 13th October 1730 Went to Miss Young’s second concert. There was much company at a crown a ticket, and all came away pleased. They agreed that her voice is better than any of the Italian women’s, but that she wants their perfect manner, which is not to be attained but by residing some years in Italy. She has a clear shake above E-la-mi, which the others have not. She is under the disadvantage of singing compositions adapted to the voices of others, and composed purposely for them. She is besides, as yet, only a scholar, and does not propose till some years hence to sing in the opera. Geminiani, the famous violin, and a good composer, is her master. |
