This book traces the daily working life and aspirations of British musicians during the sweeping social and economic transformation of Britain from 1750 to 1850. It features working musicians of all types and at all levels - organists, singers, instrumentalists, teachers, composers and entrepreneurs - and explores their educational background, their conditions of employment, their wages, the systems of patronage that supported them, and their individual perceptions. Deborah Rohr focuses not only on social and economic pressures but also on a range of negative cultural beliefs faced by the musicians. Also considered are the implications of such conditions for their social and professional status, and for their musical aspirations. 606 $aMusic$zGreat Britain$y18th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMusic$zGreat Britain$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMusic$xSocial aspects$zGreat Britain 606 $aMusicians$zGreat Britain 615 0$aMusic$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMusic$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMusic$xSocial aspects 615 0$aMusicians 676 $a305.9/78/094109033 700 $aRohr$b Deborah Adams$01843851 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970466803321 996 $aThe careers of British musicians, 1750-1850$94425754 997 $aUNINA
