Hungarian Dances and Musical Life in Eighteenth-Century Vienna is a social history of a unique facet of the Habsburg capital's diversity, illuminating how it shaped everyday experiences, individual and collective identities, and boundaries of belonging from approximately 1750 to 1810. Each chapter presents a case study of Hungarian dances and their music in a particular setting-at court and in its theaters, in public sites of sociability, and in domestic contexts-with close attention to the mediating and intersecting effects of gender and class on personal and communal cross-cultural experiences.
