Hungarian Dances and Musical Life in Eighteenth-Century Vienna
Hungarian Dances and Musical Life in Eighteenth-Century Vienna is a social history of a unique facet of the Habsburg capital's diversity, illuminating how it shaped everyday experiences, individual and collective identities, and boundaries of belonging from approximately 1750 to 1810. Each chapter presents a case study of Hungarian dances and their music in a particular setting-at court and in its theaters, in public sites of sociability, and in domestic contexts-with close attention to the mediating and intersecting effects of gender and class on personal and communal cross-cultural experiences.

Domestic musical arrangements of opera provide a unique window on the world of nineteenth-century amateur music-making. These arrangements flourished in especially rich variety in early nineteenth-century Vienna. This study reveals ways in which the Viennese culture of musical arrangements opened up opportunities, especially for women, for connoisseurship, education, and sociability in the home, and extended the meanings and reach of public concert life. It takes a novel stance for musicology, prioritising musical arrangements over original compositions, and female amateurs' perspectives over those of composers, and asks: what cultural, musical, and social functions did opera arrangements serve in Vienna c.1790–1830? Multivalent musical analyses explore ways Viennese arrangers tailored large-scale operatic works to the demands and values of domestic consumers. Documentary analysis, using little-studied evidence of private and semi-private music-making, investigates the agency of musical amateurs and reinstates the central importance of women's roles.
