Another issue (pp. iv, 78) has an ornamental title, an index (pp. iii and iv), and four additional pages of music at end. Price altered, in ink, to 7s. 6d. I am uncertain which is the earlier edition. 1774. *The Cave of Enchantment, an Entertainment of Music and Dancing. The music by Mr. Dibdin. Sadler's Wells. The only knowledge I have of this piece is from advertisements; it is in no list of Dibdin's works. The list given in his Musical Tour' (1788) does not, however, include the titles of twenty-four Sadler's Wells pieces which he claimed to have produced. I have recovered a number of them from advertisements. 1774. The Masque in Amphytrion as Performed at the Theatre Royal in Drury Lane by Mr. Bannister & Mrs. Scott Compos'd by Mr. Dibdin. 1774.

Printed by T. Becket. Price 6d. It is probable that the vocal score of this piece was published, and that more or less of the music appeared contemporaneously in other forms, but I have not seen any positive evidence of it. 1775. *Harlequin Neptune; an entertainment of music and dancing; the music composed by Mr. Dibdin. Mentioned in Sadler's Wells advertisements. |
