Before the French Revolution, making music was an activity that
required permission. After the Revolution, music was an object that
could be possessed. Everyone seemingly hoped to gain something from
owning music. Musicians claimed it as their unalienable personal
expression while the French nation sought to enhance imperial
ambitions by appropriating it as the collective product of cultural
heritage and national industry. Musicians capitalized on these
changes to protect their professionalization within new laws and
institutions, while excluding those without credentials from their
elite echelon. From Servant to Savant demonstrates how the French
Revolution set the stage for the emergence of so-called musical
"Romanticism" and the legacies that continue to haunt musical
institutions and industries. As musicians and the government
negotiated the place of music in a reimagined French society, new
epistemic and professional practices constituted three lasting
values of musical production: the composer's sovereignty, the
musical work's inviolability, and the nation's supremacy.
