Handwriting on sheet music
« on: Saturday 29 January 22 18:53 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone decipher what this says? I'm hoping it was written by the composer (my 4 x gr gdad) circa 1810

Edited to add the composer is Domenico Corri
Bugden, Corri, Bussey, Skinner

I can see where you are coming from Erato. I was thinking on the lines of Louis Shaw actually because of the 'dot' -- although it may just be a mark on the paper.

Without looking at the other replies, I immediately saw Jonathan.

Not really sure, though, as the first "a" seems to have one squiggle too many...

I would have said Louie because it looks too spaced out to be one word like Jonathan.

I think the cross stroke makes Jonathan more likely.

I agree. Jonathan because of the cross stroke.
