This book breaks new ground in the social and cultural history of
eighteenth-century music in Britain through the study of a hitherto
neglected resource, the lists of subscribers that were attached to
a wide variety of publications, including musical works. These
lists shed considerable light on the nature of those who subscribed
to music, including their social status, place of employment,
residence, and musical interests. Through broad analysis of
subscription data, the contributors reveal insights into social and
economic changes during the period, and the types of music favoured
by groups like music clubs, the aristocracy, the clergy, and by men
and women. With chapters on female composers and listeners, music
and the slave economy, musical patronage, the print trade, and
nationality, this book provides innovative perspectives that
enhance our understanding of music's social spheres, the emergence
of music publishing, and the potential of digital musicology
research.
