Description

Welcome back to Between the Barlines! Today, we’re diving into a fascinating period of change: the Industrial Revolution, and how it transformed music, instruments, and the very sound of the concert hall. The Industrial Revolution, spanning roughly from the mid-18th to the 19th century, was a time of dramatic change. Factories replaced workshops, trains shrank distances, and cities swelled with workers. But it wasn’t only industry and economics that evolved—music, too, was reshaped by this era of invention and mass production.
