In 1700, most composers were employees of noble courts or the Church. But by the 19th century, Chopin, Schumann, Brahms, Verdi and many others functioned as freelance artists teaching, performing and selling their compositions in the private marketplace. While some believe that Mozart's career marks a clean break between these two periods, this book tells the story of a more complex and interesting transition. F.M. Scherer first examines the political, intellectual, and economic roots of the shift from patronage to a freelance market. He describes the 18th century cultural "arms race" among noble courts, the spread of private concert halls and opera houses, the increasing attendance of middle-class music lovers, and the founding of conservatories. He analyzes changing trends in how composers acquired their skills and earned their livings, examining such impacts as demographic development and new modes of transportation. The book offers insight into the diversity of composers' economic aspirations, the strategies through which they pursued success, the burgeoning music publishing industry, and the emergence of copyright protection. Scherer concludes by drawing some parallels to the economic state of music composition in our own time
