Robert Bremner [b.?-1789] was a Scotsman who opened a music shop in Edinburgh in 1754. His collection of keyboard music [c. 1765], like many others of the time, was printed in London and then quickly exported to the American colonies. His miscellany is subtitled: "Being a Gradation of Proper Lessons from the Beginner to the tollerable Performer, Chiefly intended to save Masters the trouble of writing for their Pupils.
