The Challenges of Communication in Musical Networking of the Habsburg Monarchy: The Centres of the Society and the (Semi)Periphery

Diverse languages, political traditions, economic standards, religions, and changing national loyalties have made the Habsburg Monarchy a very pluricultural space. In line with these differences, the cultural and political milieu in which an individual artist acted greatly influenced his success and presentation in public. This paper aims to offer an overview of the challenges faced by artists to receive knowledge and promote their work in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century society. The place of residence and activity of individual artists, their regional mobility, networking within high political and social circles, personal acquaintances, economic (in)dependence and contemporary customs will be taken into account. The differences between the communication practices in early modern and modern societies will be especially emphasized. The basis of the research consists of contemporary writings, personal correspondence, and periodicals more accessible to educated circles.
