The Activities of the Società Filarmonica di Firenze under Józef Poniatowski’s Direction (1840–1846)
Abstract
This article examines the significance of the Società Filarmonica di Firenze within nineteenth-century Italian musical culture during the period in which Józef Poniatowski served as its director. Particular attention is paid to his role in the development of Italian instrumental music. Poniatowski’s initiatives fostered the dissemination of the Austro- German classical and contemporary repertoire, thereby helping to consolidate an instrumental tradition in the age of bel canto.
Contemporary press reports are examined in this article in relation to the scholarship on Poniatowski and on the history of musical life in nineteenth-century Florence.
