Marie Sumner Lott examines the music available to musical consumers
in the nineteenth century, and what that music tells us about their
tastes, priorities, and activities. Her social history of chamber
music performance places the works of canonic composers such as
Schubert, Brahms, and Dvorák in relation to lesser-known but
influential peers. The book explores the dynamic relationships
among the active agents involved in the creation of Romantic music
and shows how each influenced the others' choices in a rich,
collaborative environment. In addition to documenting the ways
companies acquired and marketed sheet music, Sumner Lott reveals
how the publication and performance of chamber music differed from
that of ephemeral piano and song genres or more monumental
orchestral and operatic works. Several distinct niche markets
existed within the audience for chamber music, and composers
created new musical works for their use and enjoyment. Insightful
and groundbreaking, The Social Worlds of Nineteenth-Century Chamber
Music revises prevailing views of middle-class influence on
nineteenth-century musical style and presents new methods for
interpreting the meanings of musical works for musicians both past
and present.
