Great music, as usual.

 

I did have a chuckle at the typo in the in-video title. 😛

Smashing!

 

Before I took up music, for more than 20 years I lived about 15 minutes walk from the National Library of Scotland in Edinburgh. The NLS has a huge archive of music like this. That was a missed opportunity if ever there was one!!!
