"Interest in music sociability during the eighteenth century, including domestic and semi-domestic music-making, has been steadily growing. As scholars have noted, musical salons were crucial in providing a space where women could perform in public, which was otherwise impossible, for the most part. In this book, music scholar and performer Rebecca Cypess focuses on the figure of the salonnière, the female host at the center of most musical salons in Europe and America in the second half of the eighteenth century. Through case studies include the salons of Anne-Louise Brillon in Paris, Marianna Martines in Vienna, Sara Levy in Berlin, Elizabeth Graeme in Philadelphia, and the painter Angelika Kauffman in Rome, Cypess addresses several far-reaching issues in Enlightenment musical culture. Among them are questions having to do with collaboration and improvisation vs. authorship, sensual vs. intellectual experiences, the role of women in 'governing' the salons and collecting musical scores and instruments, and how these collections can function as texts that illuminate the lived experiences of eighteenth-century music. In this richly written book, Cypess draws on letters, diaries, and other written documents, as well as iconography, to make connections with non-musical practices, including games, and to recreate the salon as an immersive musical and creative environment"--

Ce volume étudie les cardinaux et l’art musical à l’époque moderne. À travers le prisme de l’innovation musicale, il examine la question de la musique comme outil de la puissance cardinalice, revient sur le phénomène du patronage et montre qu’un cardinal mélomane est davantage qu’un noble amateur de musique.

Il y a cent ans, Ferdinant Halphen mourait d'une maladie contractée au front. Fils d'une riche famille israélite parisienne, rien ne le prédestinait à créer et diriger pendant deux ans et demi l'orchestre officiel des armées du nord. Les mélodies et la musique de chambre qu'il a composées reflètent l'atmosphère raffinée des salons de la IIIe République, âge d'or de la mélodie française. Le riche fonds d'archives qu'il avait réuni permet de retracer avec précision le parcours d'un compositeur français à une époque dominée par la mode wagnérienne et l'affaire Dreyfus. Proche de Gabriel Fauré et élève au Conservatoire, où il côtoie Reynaldo Hahn, Henri Büsser, Alfred Cortot, Charles Koechlin et Edouard Risler, avant d'obtenir le second prix de Rome, il aida fiancièrement les musiciens toute sa vie et même au-delà, prévoyant un important legs en faveur des élèves du Conservatoire, institué et soutenu par sa veuve Alice.
