‎Summary During the 19th century, music thrived in a variety of private and public spaces beyond the confines of theatres and concert halls throughout Europe. This volume decisively examines these unconventional venues, including outdoor locations such as gardens, municipal parks, squares, and fairs, alongside indoor environments such as spas and casinos. With over eighteen chapters, this collection provides a comprehensive overview of musical activities across diverse urban settings and social contexts during the long 19th century. The narratives take place in vibrant cafes, gardens, amusement parks, and seaside resorts, significantly highlighting the festive periods of Carnival. Furthermore, this volume underscores the critical role of music in exhibition spaces, equestrian arenas, the world of the circus, and military parades. By delving into these diverse spaces, we gain valuable insights into the musical landscape, where traditional concert hall and opera house audiences interacted with amateurs, dilettantes, and working-class individuals who often lacked formal education. This exploration encompasses 19th-century Europe, focusing on key Romantic cities such as Paris, Vienna, Amsterdam, Brussels, Lisbon, Madrid, and Barcelona, while also considering other alternative urban contexts like Astorga, Pula, and the Austrian Riviera in Abbazia. Additionally, the outlook is completed by an authoritative study of a circus itinerary in 19th-century England.
