FROM THE PRIVATE TO THE PUBLIC SPHERE
International Conference

LUCCA, COMPLESSO MONUMENTALE DI SAN MICHELETTO

The conference aims to study the genre of the string quartet from its origins to its culmination in the middle of the nineteenth century. The aim is to examine the connection between structural and stylistic facets of the genre and the social and cultural contexts that facilitated its cultivation. Through the study of the historical development of the genre, the conference aims to illustrate the quartet’s progression from the aristocratic salon to the concert hall, in the context of changing social conditions on the cusp of the nineteenth century, involving and influencing composers, performers, listeners, publishing markets and concert societies. The programme committee encourages submissions within the following areas, although other topics are also welcome:

· The Birth of the String Quartet

· The Viennese ‘Classical’ String Quartet

· From the quatuor concertant to the quatuor brillant: The String Quartet in France

· Boccherini: A Composer sui generis

· Production and Reception in European Countries and Overseas

· Aristocratic Music Rooms; Middle-Class Domestic Salon; Public Concert Halls

· Professional Quartets and Chamber Music Societies

· The String Quartet and the Music Publishing Trade
