Dear friends of music.

Welcome to the seconds edition of EUROPEAN MUSIC CULTURES

This year, we throw light on Piano Music from so-called European “Salons”

European “Salons” were places of intellectual exchange, where music intersected with other arts and philosophical ideas/debates took place. Musicians mingled with poets, writers, and intellectuals, discussing the latest artistic trends and political ideas. Many composers premiered their latest compositions in in such environments before they were performed in public concert halls.

The “Salon” offered a more experimental and less formal atmosphere where composers could test new ideas and receive immediate feedback. This was a significant element of the cultural life in Europe.
