Introduction
​

The debate that this conference proposes to launch stands at the intersection of two perspectives that shape the agenda of the current musicological research. On the one hand, the emergence of performance studies has placed music performance and listening at the core of the debate. These research topics, which are by no means new, have recently acquired a renewed prominence. On the other hand, the study of the reception of the Viennese triumvirate of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, established in the 19th century, has been moved away from the main cities (namely Vienna, Paris, London, Berlin and Leipzig) towards other urban centres. By looking beyond the usual major cities, it may be possible to observe, in all its extraordinary complexity, the phenomenon of the significant impact made by these composers in the long 19th century (c.1780 - c.1920).
Based on these two premises, this conference aims to promote reflection on the practices of performing and listening to the music of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven outside the main European centres. From this perspective of a ‘decentralised’ world, it will be possible to reveal unknown connections between musical practices, spaces and social groups. Implied by this approach, cultural transfer and mediation processes between regions and cities of different sizes (from provincial capitals to small urban centres) will also be analysed.

 Presentación

​El debate que propone lanzar este congreso se sitúa en el punto de intersección de dos perspectivas que conforman la agenda de la actual investigación musicológica. Por un lado, la reciente eclosión de los performance studies ha situado la interpretación y la escucha de la música en el centro del debate. Estas perspectivas de investigación, que en absoluto son nuevas, han adquirido en los últimos tiempos un renovado protagonismo que invita a impulsar su desarrollo. Por otro lado, el estudio de la recepción del triunvirato vienés formado por Haydn, Mozart y Beethoven, ya consagrado desde el mismo siglo XIX, ha reivindicado la necesidad de alejarse de los centros principales (en esencia, Viena, París, Londres, Berlín y Leipzig) para adoptar la suficiente distancia. Al poner el foco más allá de las grandes ciudades habituales, será posible observar, en toda su extraordinaria complejidad, el fenómeno del gran impacto provocado por estos compositores en el largo siglo XIX (c.1780 – c.1920).
A partir de estas dos constataciones, este congreso se propone promover la reflexión sobre las prácticas de interpretación y escucha de la música de Haydn, Mozart y Beethoven fuera de los principales centros europeos. Desde la perspectiva de un mundo “descentralizado”, el congreso aspira a desvelar conexiones entre prácticas musicales, espacios y grupos sociales. Asimismo, se pretende analizar procesos de transferencia y mediación entre regiones y ciudades de tamaños diversos (desde capitales de provincia hasta pequeños núcleos urbanos).
