While every society certainly organizes itself in some form or another around age, the particular values that contemporary European and North American societies place on childhood and children are relatively recent and idiosyncratic. These include the valorization of childhood innocence (which might as easily be called naivety or even ignorance); the association of children with nature, in the sense both of animals and of essences; the expectation that children are vulnerable and must be sheltered, not only from work but also from participation in public life more generally; and the naturalization of expectations about ‘normal’ and universal trajectories of human development that have adult rationality as their end-point. In fact, as scholars in the maturing field of childhood studies often argue, the intensification of ideological and cultural investments in children and childhood was and is a defining feature of modernity. Since the early 1990s, such scholars – primarily in history, sociology, anthropology and literature – have traced how ideas about children and childhood developed in fields ranging from politics, law, philosophy and science to literature. The study of music and childhood has developed over a similar period in fits and starts, initially through the work of music-education scholars adopting ethnomusicological perspectives and then through individual efforts by music historians and ethnomusicologists, who have slowly sought each other out and begun to consolidate a subfield. I give this background because Adeline Mueller’s new book, Mozart and the Mediation of Childhood, marks a major milestone. It makes a compelling case for the centrality of music to the historical study of childhood, and it shows clearly how rethinking familiar music history through the lens of childhood can reveal striking new insights. Mueller demonstrates that music was not simply one more domain that was swept along by the social, political and ideological revolutions at the turn of the nineteenth century, but in fact that music was at the centre of the emergence of what we now recognize as the concept of the modern child. Mozart and the Mediation of Childhood is a nuanced, rigorous and thoughtful exploration of a broad range of fields in which Mozart – as a public figure and as an individual actor – was central to specific pivotal transformations in the European understanding of children and childhood. Mueller makes this case very effectively in her first chapter, which argues that modern childhood was understood very early on as a public identity, forged in and through the circulation of texts. This is an important claim, in part because modern ideologies of the public sphere emphasized rationality and the sublimation of individual particularity into the abstractions of textual circulation – qualities that were quite explicitly associated with maturity and adulthood (in addition, of course, to racial and gender hierarchies).

This concept, which broadly refers to the substitution of one culture for another, could be used to characterize the process of arrival and initial diffusion in Spain of what we now call ‘ classical music ’ . Proof that it was felt as a threat to Spanish culture is the journalistic polemic within which, at the end of the eighteenth century, the expression ‘ national music ’ was used for the first time. The controversial repertories were Italian opera and the music of Haydn, both of which delighted some of the country ’ s elite groups (see Teresa Cascudo, ‘ Territory is the Key: A Look at the Birth of “ National Music ” in Spain (1799 – 1803) ’ , in Confronting the National in the Musical Past , ed. Elaine Kelly, Markus Mantere and Derek Scott (London: Routledge, 2018), 196 – 207). The adoption by the elite of the musical practices associated with these repertories, and particularly in the case of the string quartet, has been considered as part of a much more comprehensive ‘ civilizing ’ process, to use the expression of Norbert Elias (see Carolina Queipo, ‘ Prácticas musicales y procesos de civilización de la élite financiera y comercial en la España de Fernando VII: el caso de A Coruña ’ , in Procesos de civilización: culturas de élites, culturas populares.

Two historical figures who relate to all of these issues are the London publishers John Walsh (1665/1666– 1736) and his son of the same name (1709–1766), who printed and distributed dances, instrumental pieces, selected arias and entire aria corpuses from operas and oratorios between 1694 and 1766. Research on their prints has so far taken place largely in Britain, and has focused for the most part on George Frideric Handel and on printing techniques. The conference ‘Walsh in Europe and Beyond’, held at the Alfried Krupp Wissenschaftskolleg Greifswald and at the Universität Greifswald, extended this field through a systematic investigation of European and international sheet-music collections, their provenance and the traces of their use. Its aim was to uncover Europe-wide and global distribution channels, user groups and the aesthetic or political functions of eighteenth-century music. The papers presented over the two and a half days were mainly grouped into regional areas. In our introduction, we (Gesa zur Nieden (Universität Greifswald) and Berthold Over (Universität Greifswald)) pointed to several points of departure when investigating the distribution and function of Walsh’s prints in Europe. The presence of these publications in the British Isles and Continental Europe offers many hints: frequent maritime trade facilitated the shipping of these prints, while individuals and diplomatic networks functioned as intermediaries and conduits for transmission. The uses of the Walsh prints are difficult to define with certainty; they seem to flow between categories of material for domestic music-making and objects for remembering performances, promoting celebrity and sharing in contemporaneous discourses about opera. In his keynote address ‘Cultural Transfer in Music in the Age of Enlightenment: Methodology and Research Questions’Martin Eybl (Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst Wien), starting with Gottfried van Swieten’s order for English prints, painted a cultural-historical picture that linked dissemination to the concepts of influence, cultural transfer, reception and mobility/migration, as well as discourses on translation studies and histoire croisée. He identified several aspects and agents related to the distribution of music: the buying public, cultural localization, mediators of musical material (arrangers, compilers) and limitations (such as regions not using Roman typeface, as in the case of Russia). In his paper ‘The Music Editions of John Walsh Junior and His Successors: Working Practices, Publishing Strategies and Reception’, Donald Burrows (The Open University, Milton Keynes) offered a comprehensive insight into Walsh’s operating principles and policies","PeriodicalId":11521,"journal":{"name":"Eighteenth Century Music","volume":"6 1","pages":"229 - 233"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82516471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From the back cover, readers learn that the monograph has garnered praise from leading literary critic Sianne Ngai and that Carolyn Abbate refers to it as a ‘ tour-de-force ’ . In the course of four chapters on operatic and instrumental music, Peculiar Attunements traces a central transformation in musical aesthetics, all while claiming to provide a new history of affect that places music at the centre of its discussion. First, Grant shows how early-modern and eighteenth-century music critics replaced the doctrine of mimesis – in which artworks produce human affects by imitating worldly things – with a concept that privileged an understanding of the individual body ’ s capacity to apprehend indeterminate reverberations. This is what Grant calls the notion of attunement. Second, the book discusses the persistence of eighteenth-century modes of musical attunement in affect theory today. Grant thus formulates his thesis as a critique, one that traces ‘ the structure of events in intellectual history that created these parallel historical turns away from representation and toward affect ’ (23). A self-avowed work of intellectual history, Peculiar Attunements surveys a combination of sources in aesthetic theory, canonical and otherwise","PeriodicalId":11521,"journal":{"name":"Eighteenth Century Music","volume":"11 1","pages":"183 - 186"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87426191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
