SynopsisThe many and varied domestic musical arrangements of opera that circulated in Vienna provide a unique window on the world of nineteenth-century amateur music-making. This study takes a novel stance for musicology, prioritising musical arrangements over original compositions, and female amateurs' perspectives over those of composers., 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.

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?
