Public Spaces, Private Lives: Social and Intellectual Life at the End of the Eighteenth Century

The end of the eighteenth century marked a turning point in the social and intellectual life of the great cities of Europe and America. From cafés to public houses, from drawing rooms to the great public parks, men and women enjoyed greater freedoms to socialize and debate the issues of the day. Enjoy food, drink, music, readings, and lively conversation in the spirit of these great salons as Penn State faculty offer informal presentations on a variety of topics focusing on art and culture in the late eighteenth century.

"Bringing the Public Arena into the Private Parlor with Four-Hand Piano Music"

Enrico Elisi, piano
Timothy Shafer, piano
Marie Sumner Lott, lecturer

and students of the School of Music

In an age when Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven created provocative works on a grand scale never before heard in concert halls and opera houses, middle-class music lovers experienced those works in miniature at the parlor piano. Sisters, cousins, would-be lovers, teachers and their students gathered around the piano to play and discuss original piano duos, opera medleys, and arrangements of the most cutting-edge works of the day. This salon evening will recreate that atmosphere with live musical performances and informal discussion by faculty and students of the Penn State School of Music as well as conversation among the performers, scholars, and audience members.
