Schetky was a great power in musical Edinburgh in his day, and held a high place as a teacher. His son, John Christian, was a painter of some celebrity. The melody of Mary’s Dream has been attributed to him, but is now known not to have been his composition. See Wood’s Songs of Scotland, edited by Graham, first edition.
