Charles Burney in Turin - mid July, 1770
from Music, men and manners in France and Italy, 1770 / Charles Burney, page 40:
The taste in everything here is half French – except in music – at the comic opera, such a noise and inattention I never heard – but music here is cheap and common, whereas in England it is a costly exotic and more highly prized.
