Popis: Dr Johnson, who had no ear for music, had accustomed himself, like many other great writers who have had that same, and frequently sole, deficiency, to speak slightingly both of the art and of its professors. And it was not until after he had become intimately acquainted with Dr Burney and his various merits that he ceased to join in a jargon so unworthy of his liberal judgment, as that of excluding musicians and their art from celebrity.
