Well, England was a touch weak on world class clasical composers in 1820, that's true.Yet taking the period 50 years either side of that date, English fiddlers laboriously jotted down recently created fiddle tunes in their notebooks. Nobody has come up with a staisfactory estimate of just how many tunes, but way in excess of 20,000 I should guess.And then there are the songs.... So, "land without music"? Yes, and no.
