Popular Song in the (Semi-)Private Domain? Considering the Nineteenth-Century Salon within the Context of Popular Culture
Original language description
Scholars scrutinising the nineteenth-century German Lied have grappled with difficulties in situating this genre as regards its aesthetic (and commercial) value, because it is positioned somewhere between popular culture and high art. While the works rooted in this genre vary in terms of their compositional aesthetics, and indeed, may bear similarities with their pendants in other languages, they share their performance contexts: distributed as sheet music, many of these compositions were performed in (semi-)private settings beyond their own regional and/or national realms. These settings range from high-calibre musical salons (for instance those of Fanny Hensel, Berlin, and Václav Jan Tomášek, Prague) to less musically-oriented gatherings in the homes of writers, politicians, and/or people holding other forms of social responsibility. This article offers first ideas as to how the salon, as a semi-private platform, took an active part in shaping nineteenth-century popular culture and in inspiring and disseminating popular song. I focus especially on the gatherings hosted by Fanny Hensel in Berlin and Elise von Schlik in Prague.
