About
Son of a shoemaker, Simpson composed pieces for the viol in all the styles prevalent in English viol music in the 17th century. He was also a revered theoretician. His book "The Division-Violist" (London 1659) was highly praised. The Late Sophie Watillon conveys the fantasy and imagination of the improvising violist in seventeenth-century England.
