Music and Musicians in Vienna from the Middle Ages to the Mid Eighteenth Century

Abstract

This essay considers music-making in Vienna over five centuries, dividing attention between the court and the city’s institutions, outdoor performance spaces and homes. It discusses not only well-known individuals who elevated Vienna’s fame as a musical city but also representative figures who stand in for others whose lives and careers are less known, and many whose names are lost.
