Representing classical music listening practices in modern literature and cinema // Representing classical music listening practices in modern literature and cinema

Classical music (or what may more widely defined as “western learned music”) is a major part of Europe's cultural heritage. And it includes the traditional concert or opera performance, which mainly is a 19th century legacy. But ways of listening to music have changed over the last decades (from the triumphant CD's advent to the era of streaming platforms and You tube) and so has sometimes the rite of classical concerts itself. Contemporary literature and cinema reflect that evolution, associating values and meanings with those different modes of enjoying or discovering European masterworks. By doing so, one can assume that they also (re)shape our image of classical music and concerts. These interactions between literary/cinematic representations of our modern listening practices and our conception of such a musical heritage can be apprehended in a large spectrum of works varying both in genres and languages.
