An idealized image of European concert-goers has long prevailed in
historical overviews of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
This act of listening was considered to be an invisible and
amorphous phenomenon, a naturally given mode of perception. This
narrative influenced the conditions of listening from the selection
of repertoire to the construction of concert halls and programmes.
However, as listening moved from the concert hall to the opera
house, street music, and jazz venues, new and visceral listening
traditions evolved. In turn, the art of listening was shaped by
phenomena of the modern era including media innovation and
commercialization. This Handbook asks whether, how, and why
practices of music listening changed as the audience moved from
pleasure gardens and concert venues in the eighteenth century to
living rooms in the twentieth century, and mobile devices in the
twenty-first. Through these questions, chapters enable a
differently conceived history of listening and offer an agenda for
future research.
