ABSTRACT

This study employs a comparative cultural-historical approach to examine the Liederabend of nineteenth-century Europe and the Pungnyubang of late Joseon Korea, focusing on the musical practices of their respective emerging middle strata. Both traditions originated in private, room-centered spaces and served as participatory musical settings where the line between performers and listeners was fluid. The study investigates how repeated performances and social interactions within these spaces fostered the accumulation of shared repertoires and performance conventions. This process ultimately contributed to the formation of the Western art song recital and the Korean jeongak tradition. The findings indicate that private musical practices organized by the middle strata were crucial in sustaining and canonizing specific musical cultures. Moreover, despite their distinct historical contexts, the Liederabend and Pungnyubang traditions exhibit structural similarities in the development of room-based musical culture and performance traditions.
