Grounded in knowledge of thousands of programs, this book examines
how musical life in London, Leipzig, Vienna, Boston, and other
cities underwent a fundamental transformation in relationship with
movements in European politics. William Weber traces how musical
taste evolved in European concert programs from 1750 to 1870, as
separate worlds arose around classical music and popular songs. In
1780 a typical program accommodated a variety of tastes through a
patterned 'miscellany' of genres, held together by diplomatic
musicians. This framework began weakening around 1800 as new kinds
of music appeared, from string quartets to quadrilles to ballads,
which could not easily coexist on the same programs. Utopian ideas
and extravagant experiments influenced programming as ideological
battles were fought over who should govern musical taste. More than
a hundred illustrations or transcriptions of programs enable
readers to follow Weber's analysis in detail.
