Thomas Linley the younger (7 May 1756 – 5 August 1778), also known as Thomas Linley Junior or Tom Linley, was the eldest son of the composer Thomas Linley and his wife Mary Johnson. He was one of the most precocious composers and performers that have been known in England.[1] A highly talented violinist, Tom Linley was also the most promising of all native English composers between Purcell and Elgar, combining prodigious talent with a delightful personality.[2] He is sometimes referred to as the "English Mozart".[3][4] His early promise was cut short when he drowned in a boating accident, aged just 22 years.
