A Musicological Approach to Music, Gender and Class Around 1900","publication":"German History","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"An unremarkable collection of music, examined by the author, is found to yield some interesting early-twentieth-century social history. The music from which Lucia König, a lower-middle-class girl, learned the piano, becomes a means of exploring her lifeworld. König described herself as a höhere Tochter: her parents, keen to improve her social standing, could afford to pay for a piano and some lessons, and thus offer her an opportunity for social improvement. Information gleaned from markings on König’s music, and from its physical condition, reveal her as hard-working student and a talented pianist. König’s music is in many respects typical of a höhere Tochter, as described in previous social-historical research, but it differs in ways that show her to have developed her own tastes and self-determined practice. The article also shows that apparently unpromising material can provide useful research material for both musicology and gender studies."}],"file":[{"content_type":"application/pdf","success":1,"relation":"main_file","date_updated":"2023-01-22T15:16:38Z","date_created":"2023-01-22T15:16:38Z","creator":"tsteup","file_size":3755314,"file_name":"ghs064.pdf","file_id":"37916","access_level":"closed"}],"ddc":["780"],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"has_accepted_license":"1","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0266-3554"]},"related_material":{"record":[{"relation":"translation","id":"37909","status":"public"}]},"intvolume":" 30","page":"395–411","citation":{"short":"R.
