Beschreibungen/Notizen
Salons, in the broadest sense, are regular social gatherings in a private space that encouraged a wide range of activities: philosophical and/or political discussion, the art of conversation, music, poetry and drama recitals, dance, tableaux vivants, painting, board games and quizzes, tea and food sampling, and crafts. [...]music performed in salons is not primarily part of compositional history but, rather, is both reason for and result of cultural practice. [...]music that was heard in salons should be considered within the context of cultural history rather than solely through the lens of music and/or compositional history.1 However, a large part of nineteenth-century salon repertoire is unknown today and its examination is not always easy due to accessibility issues. [...]salon culture primarily has been researched with respect to such important cultural centres as Berlin, Paris or Weimar.2 However, much can be learnt from the scrutiny of certain socio-culturally less sophisticated locations. [...]this may be true for America and Spain; however, much scholarship has been devoted to social aspects of French and German private music-cultural practice, for example.6 Weliver then explains that Mendelssohn's Sonntagsmusiken turned Leipzig into an attractive centre for British composers and musicians due to Felix Mendelssohn's presence in that city.
