This gives a rather self-satisfied impression, knocking the 50s and 60s Cambridge music scene; Thurston Dart was a remarkable pioneer in the early music scene, influencing an enormous variety of important musicians and musicologists such as Charles Cudworth, David Munrow, Christopher Hogwood, Colin Tilney and Peter Williams, all Cambridge men. The interest in early keyboard instruments, which went back to Dent, was abandoned of late so that when Chopin was being celebrated in Cambridge in 2000 no use was made of the fine Pleyel piano in the Cudworth collection.
Very interesting and insightful. So much respect for those musicians.
