Johann Schetky was a well-known and celebrated Cellist in his day, i.e. the 1700's. When he moved to Edinburgh, Scotland he was already a sought after musician and found employment in the North because of his acquaintance with J.C. Bach. He apparently liked the Capitol of Scotland enough to fall in love and settle there permanently.
Whether you are into details about individuals or history in general, you'll want to listen to Schetky's own preface to his Op. 7 Cello Duets. He is a straight talker that does not give a student any false sense of ease when it comes to perfecting the art of music. This is a document that sheds light onto the business of educating students in a broad sense.
You might like to see me in action in several of these Duets. I have recorded videos of the first three and uploaded them to my YouTube channel: Traveling Cello
