Dr. Burney, in his Present State of Music, relates the following story.
“Among the anecdotes,” says he, “relative to the strange effects
of music, which were given to me by Lord Marshal, he told me of a
Highlander, who always cried, upon hearing a certain slow Scots tune,
played upon the bagpipe. General G. whose servant he was, stole into
his room one night, when he was fast asleep, and playing the same tune
to him very softly, on the German flute, the fellow, without waking,
cried like a child.”
