lochiels: ♡ Marie Antoinette had a special affection for music and the arts in general, in which she offered patronage to. According to the Première femme de Chambre, Madame Campan, “music was the accomplishment in which the Queen most delighted. She did not play well on any instrument, but she had become able to read at sight like a first-rate professor.” Marie’s personal library contained plenty of music books, from sonatas, operas and harpsichord music, in which case was one of her favourite instruments to play alongside the harp. ♡ -- source link
