The Centro Studi Opera Omnia Luigi Boccherini and the Palazzetto Bru Zane are pleased to invite submissions of proposals for the symposium «Musical Competitions in Europe (1700-1920)», to be held in Lovere (BG) Italy, Accademia Tadini, from 09 to 11 June 2023.
Multiplication of musical competitions during the 18th and 19th centuries is one aspect of this art’s development that has been neglected until now. It concerns instrumental or vocal performances as well as composition or instrument making. It can be a way to bring people together, to promote an institution or an industry, to encourage emulation, or to develop a certain way to practise or write music.
In the 18th century composers and musicisans used to compete each other in performance, especially with organ, harpsichord or violin. But the modern form of competition develops in the 19th century.
The conference aims to examine these competitions and to analyse their flourishing on a large geographical and temporal scales. We encourage studies that focus on the purpose of these events, and on the way they work: competition programmes, members of the jury, evaluation criteria, rewards, etc. Facing the declining influence of patronage, are musical contests an expression of a certain democratization of this art?
