OK, here it is: "After dinner, which was elegantly served, and chearfully eaten, I prevailed upon him to sit down to a clavichord, and he played, with little intermission, till near eleven oclock at night. During this time he grew so animated and possessed, that he not only played, but looked like one inspired. His eyes were fixed, his under lip fell, and drops of effervescence distilled from his countenance. He said, if he were to set to work frequently, in this manner, he should grow young again." Charles Burney, The present state of music in Germany, the Netherlands, and United Provinces (1775), p. 270-271 -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
