John George Keysler in Nuremberg - at the end of 1730

from Travels through Germany, Bohemia, Switzerland, Italy and Lorrain. Vol. 4, page 393:

 

The vocal musicians, or singers, who have a great affinity with the bardi and scaldi among the ancient Germans, generally hold their meetings on festivals, and perform even in private houses for money. Music flourishes greatly at Nurenberg [sic], where they have musical meetings, or concerts, which they call krantzel. Fischer on the violin, and Tenner on the German flute, are no mean performers.
