This Element considers the art and culture of arranging music in
Europe in the period 1780–1830, using Haydn's London symphonies
and Mozart's operas as its principal examples. The degree to which
musical arrangements shaped the social, musical, and ideological
landscape in this era deserves further attention. This Element
focuses on Vienna, and an important era in the culture of
arrangements in which they were widely and variously cultivated,
and in which canon formation and the conception of musical works
underwent crucial development. Piano transcriptions (for two hands,
four hands, and two pianos) became ever more prominent, completely
taking over the field after 1850. For various reasons, principal
composers of the era under consideration, including Haydn, Mozart,
and Beethoven, participated directly in the practice of
arrangement. Motivations to produce arrangements included learning
the art of composition, getting one's name known more widely,
financial gain, and pedagogical aims.
