A study of musical salons in Europe and North America between 1760
and 1800 and the salon hostesses who shaped their musical worlds.
In eighteenth-century Europe and America, musical salons-and the
women who hosted and made music in them-played a crucial role in
shaping their cultural environments. Musical salons served as a
testing ground for new styles, genres, and aesthetic ideals, and
they acted as a mediating force, bringing together professional
musicians and their audiences of patrons, listeners, and
performers. For the salonniere, the musical salon offered a space
between the public and private spheres that allowed her to exercise
cultural agency. In this book, musicologist and historical
keyboardist Rebecca Cypess offers a broad overview of musical
salons between 1760 and 1800, placing the figure of the salonniere
at its center. Cypess then presents a series of in-depth case
studies that meet the salonniere on her own terms. Women such as
Anne-Louise Brillon de Jouy in Paris, Marianna Martines in Vienna,
Sara Levy in Berlin, Angelica Kauffman in Rome, and Elizabeth
Graeme in Philadelphia come to life in multidimensional ways.
Crucially, Cypess uses performance as a tool for research, and her
interpretations draw on her experience with the instruments and
performance practices used in eighteenth-century salons. In this
accessible, interdisciplinary book, Cypess explores women's agency
and authorship, reason and sentiment, and the roles of performing,
collecting, listening, and conversing in the formation of
eighteenth-century musical life.
