The Songs and Music of Jane Austen CD Set

Imagine listening to music Jane Austen played on her own pianoforte, such as “Soldier’s Adieu,” “The Egyptian Love Song” and “The Irishman.” This meticulously researched set brings you music collected by the Austen family during Jane’s lifetime—including pieces Jane copied by hand—to entertain their guests and themselves. Enjoy, too, cheerful chamber pieces by popular composers of Jane’s day—music she may well have heard in the drawing rooms and salons of London and Bath, where love and courtship flourished, and the only music was live. Twenty-nine selections of chamber music and song, expertly performed on authentic 18th-century instruments.
