Scattered in archives and historical societies across the United States are hundreds of volumes of manuscript music, copied by hand by eighteenth-century amateurs. Often overlooked, amateur music making played a key role in the construction of gender, class, race, and nation in the post-revolution years of the United States. These early Americans, seeking ways to present themselves as genteel, erudite, and pious, saw copying music by hand and performing it in intimate social groups as a way to make themselves--and their new nation-appear culturally sophisticated. Following a select group of amateur musicians, Cultivated by Hand makes the case that amateur music making was both consequential to American culture of the eighteenth century and aligned with other forms of self-fashioning. This interdisciplinary study explores the social and material practices of amateur music making, analyzing the materiality of manuscripts, tracing the lives of individual musicians, and uncovering their musical tastes and sensibilities. Author Glenda Goodman explores highly personal yet often denigrated experiences of musically "accomplished" female amateurs in particular, who grappled with finding a meaningful place in their lives for music. Revealing the presence of these unacknowledged subjects in music history, Cultivated by Hand reclaims the importance of such work and presents a class of musicians whose labors should be taken into account.

Excerpt from The Musical Amateur: A Book on the Human, Side of Music The following pages are addressed to all sorts and conditions of musical amateurs, - the interested listeners, the disinterested players and singers, all who love and make music merely for its own sake, and who would gladly share with others the rich increment of emotion, sensation, and thought which this art brings to life. They are the great democracy of music, - in a sense also its aristocracy, living apart from its commercial and professional side. It does not earn their daily bread, but helps them to enjoy it. The relation of the amateur to music is rather like that of the "gentle reader" and the "delightful letter-writer" to literature.

Excerpt from The Musical Amateur: A Book on the Human, Side of Music In short, this is a familiar book upon the strangely neglected human side of music, especially as it concerns the lot of the amateur with its mingled pain and pleasure, plod and play; and as this lot contrasts with that of his less fortunate brother, the professional, and of the man that hath no music in him self.
