Music: Vocal and Instrumental Music ....The orchestra was not very strong, consisting of no more than sixty persons, but it was incomparable-; Signiora Margarita del'Epine; sang, but she was by no means as pleasing as in the opera....She was the only person who sang. The instrumental music was extremely beautiful: Pepusch; who directs everything, and played the thorough-bass, excelled all the others. The violins too could scarce have been better. But most notable of all was a most charming concerto played with Pepusch by a flute and a viol di gamba. The person who plays the flute is a Frenchman called-Paisible; whose equal is not to be found....The second man, who played the viol di gamba with such uncommon excellence, is an Italian called-Signor Pietro
