Sir J. Barnby, the late Precentor of Eton College, and newly elected
Principal of the Guildhall School of Music, writes:--
"As a rule I do not work at the piano except to test what has already
been written down. I have found ideas come most readily in the railway
carriage or during a drive, and the time I prefer for composition is
the morning."
