He was a friend of Samuel Johnson and David Garrick, corresponded with Diderot and Haydn and was made Fellow of the Royal Society in 1773. Although he was a music teacher by profession, it was his writings on music which brought him widespread recognition. Following publication of the General History, he began his memoirs but did not complete them. It is likely that he intended his daughter, the novelist Fanny Burney, to publish the memoirs after his death using his manuscript and other papers. Instead she created her own embellished version, adding stylised accounts of events emphasising the literary and social, rather than the musical aspects. Volume 2 is concerned with events from the mid-1770s to mid-1780s, including the Handel commemoration concerts in 1784.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eMemoirs of Dr Burney.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Baroque music [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Baroque music\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Baroque%20music%20%5Bc%201600%20to%20c%201750%5D%20%5BAVGC3%5D%22\"\u003ec 1600 to c 1750 AVGC3\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46006017130776,"sku":"9781108013727","price":33.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108013727i_eed6c250-e17c-49a1-bde0-398ce38a7c2d.jpg?v=1694869281","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/memoirs-of-doctor-burney-arranged-from-his-own-manuscripts-from-family-papers-and-from-personal-recollections-paperback-9781108013727","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
