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 o'clock 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
