Jane Austen and her music
Jane Austen’s novels are rich in musical interludes, from practice sessions at home, to performances at parties, to accompaniments to dancing. This reflects the author’s own love of music. According to Austen’s niece Caroline, ‘Aunt Jane began her day with music’ and her extensive collection of music books, many of them handwritten, are on display at the Jane Austen House at Chawton. My talk will begin with the place of music in Austen’s life and end with a discussion of music in her novels.
Throughout I will intersperse words with sounds. All of the pieces I am going to play are from Jane Austen’s music
