Overview
This book reconsiders the significance of the salon as a social and cultural phenomenon and as a source of artistic innovation and exchange in the long nineteenth century. This collection explores the idea of music in the salon during the long nineteenth century, both as a socio-cultural phenomenon, and as a source of artistic innovation and exchange. Drawing on a wide range of scholarly approaches,this book uses the idea of the salon as a springboard to examine issues such as gender, religion, biography and performance; to explore the ways in which the salon was represented in different media; and to showcase the heterogeneity of the salon through a selection of case studies. It offers fresh considerations of familiar salons in large cultural centres, as well as insights into lesser-known salons in both Europe and the United States. Bringing together an international group of scholars, the collection underscores the enduring impact of the European musical salon.

Reviews
[The] chapter, by Maren Bagge and Clemens Kreutzfeldt, entitled 'Observing Musical Salon Culture in England c. 1800 through the Lens of the Caricature'... gives a brief glimpse into the largely amateur sphere of music-making in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and raises many interesting points about what can be learnt from these engaging though mainly hostile caricatures. THE CONSORT This collection contains much enlightening material, and is a thought-provoking volume for anyone researching the music of the long nineteenth century in general. As we have come to expect from Boydell, the book is attractively produced and set, with plenty of well-produced illustrations and musical examples. I heartily recommend it to all those involved in this area of study and to serious music libraries. FONTES ARTIS MUSICAE
