ABSTRACT
A manuscript of 11 folios held in the British Library (MS Add. 4919, fols 1–11) is the first evidence we have for Salmon’s musical activities after the publication of his Proposal in 1688. The text bears the date 1702, and the following title:
The Practicall Theory / of Musick / To perform Musick in perfect proportions / and / To set out the proportions upon the Viol / so that they may fall right / upon the frets.
