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.","lang":"eng"}],"ddc":["780"],"status":"public","publication":"German History","user_id":"73564","date_created":"2023-01-22T15:18:59Z","type":"journal_article","year":"2012","date_updated":"2023-01-22T15:20:29Z","has_accepted_license":"1","volume":30,"file":[{"date_updated":"2023-01-22T15:16:38Z","file_size":3755314,"file_name":"ghs064.pdf","access_level":"closed","file_id":"37916","content_type":"application/pdf","date_created":"2023-01-22T15:16:38Z","relation":"main_file","creator":"tsteup","success":1}],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["0266-3554"]},"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"citation":{"bibtex":"@article{Grotjahn_2012, title={Playing at Refinement.
