In recent years there has been a considerable revival of interest
in music in eighteenth-century Britain. This interest has now
expanded beyond the consideration of composers and their music to
include the performing institutions of the period and their
relationship to the wider social scene. The collection of essays
presented here offers a portrayal of concert life in Britain that
contributes greatly to the wider understanding of social and
cultural life in the eighteenth century. Music was not merely a
pastime but was irrevocably linked with its social, political and
literary contexts. The perspectives of performers, organisers,
patrons, audiences, publishers, copyists and consumers are
considered here in relation to the concert experience. All of the
essays taken together construct an understanding of musical
communities and the origins of the modern concert system. This is
achieved by focusing on the development of music societies; the
promotion of musical events; the mobility and advancement of
musicians; systems of patronage; the social status of musicians;
the repertoire performed and published; the role of women pianists
and the 'topography' of concerts. In this way, the book will not
only appeal to music specialists, but also to social and cultural
historians.
