Professionalisation was a key feature of the changing nature of
work and society in the nineteenth century, with formal
accreditation, registration and organisation becoming increasingly
common. Trades and occupations sought protection and improved
status via alignment with the professions: an attempt to impose
order and standards amid rapid social change, urbanisation and
technological development. The structures and expectations
governing the music profession were no exception, and were central
to changing perceptions of musicians and music itself during the
long nineteenth century. The central themes of status and identity
run throughout this book, charting ways in which the music
profession engaged with its place in society. Contributors
investigate the ways in which musicians viewed their own
identities, public perceptions of the working musician, the
statuses of different sectors of the profession and attempts to
manipulate both status and identity. Ten chapters examine a range
of sectors of the music profession, from publishers and performers
to teachers and military musicians, and overall themes include
class, gender and formal accreditation. The chapters demonstrate
the wide range of sectors within the music profession, the
different ways in which these took on status and identity, and the
unique position of professional musicians both to adopt and to
challenge social norms.
