A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Rousseau's Dream
ROUSSEAU'S DREAM. A very favourite air in England in the early part of this century. Its first appearance under that name is presumably as 'an Air with Variations for the Pianoforte, composed and dedicated to the Rt. Hon. the Countess of Delaware, by J. B. Cramer. London, Chappell' [1812].
