This book examines the impact of the daily life, political climate
and artistic institutions of Vienna on its musicians and musical
tastes between 1815 and 1830. Emphasis is given to Beethoven,
Schubert, Paganini and Johann Strauss where their careers reflect
typically Viennese musical life and when Viennese conventions may
explain important turns in their lives. Attention is also paid to
the incomes, service contracts and welfare of lesser-known
musicians of the same period. An entire chapter is devoted to the
regulation of music by the Austrian government, secret police and
censors, since this period coincides with the height of
Metternich's political power. Although the study is mainly intended
for music historians and listeners, the book should also interest
the Austrian, literary, theatre and political historian.
Furthermore, the research presented here suggests that many of the
intriguing questions and social issues in Vienna at the end of the
nineteenth century, currently widely discussed by Schorske, Toulim
and McGrath, are already present in Vienna in 1815.
