Description

This database has been produced for the project "Canon and Concert Life: Formation Processes within Stockholm's Music Life 1848-1914" (financed by the Riksbankens Jubileumsfond). The data comprises information about concerts and concert repertoire in Stockholm during the period 1848-1908. Data has been recorded for every tenth year during this period. For each year, as much data as possible has been collected regarding public music activities in the city. The main source material has consisted of digitized Swedish newspapers. The material has been manually reviewed by Anne Reese Willén, and all information discovered about public music performances has been recorded in the database. The database is structured around individual musical events and includes metadata about actors (concert organizers, musicians, composers, and institutions/organizations), information about actors (nationality, instrument, gender, birth/death years, profession, composition activity, other information, etc.), repertoire (composers and works), concert venue, time, date, ticket price, ticket sales, references to source
