An Early Evening Stroll

tue 28 feb 2023 19:00 hour
Composer: Thomas Linley

Broken in the bud – Thomas Linley jr.

 

 

Today, another episode in the series about young deceased composers titled “In de knop gebroken” (Broken in the bud). In this episode, we pay attention to the Englishman Thomas Linley Jr. (1756-1778). The “junior” in his name is to distinguish him from his father, who was also a composer, as well as a harpsichordist and singing teacher.

Young Thomas played violin concertos at the age of seven and was an experienced composer when he went to Italy at the age of twelve to study violin and composition. Upon his return, he quickly became one of the leading musicians in London. But his life was abruptly ended shortly after his 22nd birthday when he drowned during a boating trip on a lake.
