During the second half of the eighteenth century, the pace of
London's concert life quickened dramatically, reflecting both the
prosperity and the commercial vitality of the capital. The most
significant development was the establishment of the public concert
within the social and cultural life of fashionable society. The
subscription concerts that premiered symphonies by J. C. Bach and
Haydn were conspicuous symbols of luxury, even though they were
promoted on broadly commercial lines. Drawing on hitherto untapped
archival sources and a comprehensive study of daily newspapers,
this book analyses audiences at venues as diverse as the Hanover
Square Rooms, Vauxhall Gardens and City taverns. The musical taste
of the London public is investigated in the light of contemporary
theories of aesthetics, and there is detailed discussion of the
financial and practical aspects of concert management and
performance, in a period that encouraged enterprise and innovation.
