Sydney Smith opposed concerts and disliked music in the minor key noting that 500 people fiddling about the Israelites in the Red Sea was absurd. G W E Russell says he found minor key music melancholy and had to abandon it at St Pauls, though late in life he praised music as an engaging, joyful pursuit.
