[5] He also specialised in editing early classical symphonies by composers such as Carl Friedrich Abel, Thomas Arne, J C Bach, Gossec and Stamitz.
[8] Carse died in 1958 at his home - Winton, Martin's End Lane, Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire - aged eighty.
Alongside the donated instruments at the Horniman is his personal library, containing research papers, manuscript notes, copies of lectures, correspondence, makers catalogues, sales lists and concert programmes.
[10] According to Arthur Eaglefield Hull, Carse had "a pleasant and well finished style of writing, which concerns itself more with sound construction than original or atmospheric effects".
[12] Early orchestral works included a prelude to Byron's Manfred[13] and two symphonic poems: The Death of Tintagiles (1902) and In a Balcony, (after Browning) the latter performed at the Proms on 26 August 1905.
