Controversy over Music Education at Foundling Hospital and Duke of Wirtemberg Conservatories
A letter mocking music instruction at the Foundling Hospital contrasts with observations from Dr Burney on Duke of Württemberg's music policy. It cites Solitude and Ludwigsburg conservatories educating hundreds of children, with operatic careers expected for some, while warning that such focus on performance could fuel vice and disorder. The piece rails at religious hypocrisy and notes Methodist anecdotes about secrecy and virtue, ending with a distant lurch into political critique of a French minister and hunger hardships.
