| Zusammenfassung: | "Hundreds of volumes filled with hand-copied music sit in archives and libraries across the United States. Created by amateur musicians who came of age in the years following the American Revolution, these manuscript books reveal the existence musical culture that was deeply intertwined in people's everyday lives and at the same time in powerful historical forces that were shaping the new nation. Cultivated by Hand is a social and material history of musical amateurism that traces the structural forces that shaped amateurs' experiences and delves how those forces manifested in individuals' lives. This book argues that amateur music making played an important and heretofore unacknowledged role in the making of gender, class, race, and nation in the early American republic. Moreover, much of the repertoire collected by relatively elite, white amateurs was imported from Britain, undermining concurrent efforts to foster a national musical style. Cultivated by Hand situates the making of manuscript books in a broader cultural context, exploring manuscript's relationship to print as well as changes in music consumerism in the late eighteenth century. Creating manuscripts required hour upon hour of work, yet the labor of amateur musicians, particularly women, was discursively and economically devalued. The gendered attacks obscured the importance of copying and performing for the self-fashioning of amateurs, who used their efforts to cultivate gentility, piety, and erudition, as well as sensible connection to others"-- |
