+The project "Beethoven in the House: Digital Studies of Domestic Music Arrangements" + investigated domestic music arrangements of the 19th Century through two + complementary studies, a digital research environment developed + alongside the studies, and the innovative application of digital musicology + methods within this environment. Beethoven-Haus Bonn, Oxford e-Research Center, RISM Digital, + and Paderborn University partnered for this project.
+Performance of music in the home was the means by which most works were received + before the advent of audio recordings and broadcasts, yet the notation sources + that form our primary record of this culture had not been the subject of + comprehensive or methodical study. Choices made by arrangers adapting music for + domestic consumption-of instrumentation, abbreviation, or simplification-reflect + the musical life of the 19th-century, and can inform our understanding alongside + contemporary accounts such as newspapers, adverts, and diaries.
+By analysing the choices made by arrangers adapting music for domestic consumption, + such as instrumentation, abbreviation, or simplification, this project shed light on + the musical life of the 19th century and can inform our understanding alongside contemporary + accounts such as newspapers, adverts, and diaries. The project's studies surveyed + Steiner editions of Beethoven's 7th and 8th Symphonies and Wellingtons Sieg, as well + as a larger sample of lesser-known scores, collating emergent + indicators of arrangers' motivations within a narrative of the domestic market – the music + industry of its day.
+The project developed new methods for including selective approaches to encodings, utilising Optical Music Recognition and Linked Data to find and structure + new knowledge. The project's findings provide new insights into the domestic music culture of the + 19th Century.

+The project ran from 2020 to 2023 and was jointly funded by DFG and + AHRC.
+The project "Beethoven in the House" aimed to provide a digital study of Beethoven's + symphonic works arranged for home performance. As time and resources were limited, + encoding entire symphonic scores was neither feasible nor necessary. Instead, the + project focused on comparing certain passages of the large-scale works and their + realisation in various arrangements. This led to the development of a procedure for + "selective encodings," which involves encoding only the portions of a score relevant + to a particular study.
+This is a Selective Encoding that includes measures with empty layers. + By contrast, a measure that is empty in the source would be encoded using mei:mSpace. + Encoded measures are separated from empty measures with section elements with an @xml:id. + For the encoded sections the attribute @resp is used to indicate the transcriber.
