Patriotic Music in Valencia during the Peninsular War (1808-1814): Market and repertory
Abstract
This study discusses the evolution of trade, dissemination and types of music of patriotic inspiration distributed in Valencia during the Peninsular War (1808-1814). Different works related to this genre have been identified, as well as the sales outlets that advertised them in the local press during that period, comparing the information obtained with other foreign bookstore advertisements that sold similar music. Parallels between the volume of these advertisements and the warlike events that resonated in the life of Valencia have been found. In addition, two copyists who worked in the city have been identified. Some of their transcriptions and even compositions have also been documented in the National Library of Spain. Finally, examples of the different types of this musical genre that have been identified in Valencia are given.
