Musical salons served as a testing ground for new styles, genres, and aesthetic ideals, and they acted as a mediating force, bringing together professional musicians and their audiences of patrons, listeners, and performers. For the \u003ci\u003esalonnière\u003c\/i\u003e, the musical salon offered a space between the public and private spheres that allowed her to exercise cultural agency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eWomen and Musical Salons in the Enlightenment\u003c\/i\u003e, musicologist and historical keyboardist Rebecca Cypess offers a broad overview of musical salons between 1760 and 1800, placing the figure of the \u003ci\u003esalonnière\u003c\/i\u003e at its centre. Cypess then presents a series of in-depth case studies that meet the \u003ci\u003esalonnière\u003c\/i\u003e on her own terms. Women such as Anne-Louise Brillon de Jouy in Paris, Marianna Martines in Vienna, Sara Levy in Berlin, Angelica Kauffman in Rome, and Elizabeth Graeme in Philadelphia come to life in multidimensional ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCrucially, Cypess uses performance as a tool for research, and her interpretations draw on her experience with the instruments and performance practices used in eighteenth-century salons. In this accessible, interdisciplinary book, Cypess explores women’s agency and authorship, reason and sentiment, and the roles of performing, collecting, listening, and conversing in the formation of eighteenth-century musical life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47601392845036,"sku":"9780226817910","price":104.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/c3fc6da0bac2dbbaaffd8a355a8c313d.jpg?v=1778017717"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/rebecca-cypess.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
