The conference aims to study the genre of the string quartet from its
origins to its culmination in the middle of the nineteenth century.
The aim is to examine the connection between structural and stylistic
facets of the genre and the social and cultural contexts that
facilitated its cultivation. Through the study of the historical
development of the genre, the conference aims to illustrate the
quartet’s progression from the aristocratic salon to the concert hall,
in the context of changing social conditions on the cusp of the
nineteenth century, involving and influencing composers, performers,
listeners, publishing markets and concert societies. The programme
