These sketches, s presented in the trnslted version in hpters through depict X, Sonnleither's emic perspective of mteur musicl lif in ienn fom the yeas 1814 to 1825. lthoug his viewpoint ws ctully written fom 1861 to18 63, it refects perod fom his ow youth tht coincides with the fourishin mteur musicl slon in ienn cholrship retly needs moder trnslted edition of onleithner's sketches that is fithl to the oriinl; therefre, hve trnslted Leopold von onnleithner's entries s they ppered in the Recensionen fom 1861to1863 into nlish. hus, tis lV translation shall make the complete articles accessible to a wider scholarly audience. Although the original frmat of the sketches does not provide the reader with a fuid evolution of the amateur musical salon, the translated edition of the sketches has been kept in the original order with minor alterations to the various lists of participants so as not to distract the reader fom the prose. Chapter I and Chapter II provide background infrmation on Vienna and the Sonnleithner fmily respectively. Since Sonnleithner's depiction of his musical jourey does not fllow a temporal construct, Chapter (The Pre-Sonnleithner Salons) presents ill a timetable of Sonnleithner's attendance at various salons and the inclusion of Chapter IV lists all the names (570) that appar in the translation with brief biographical infrmation. Leopold Sonnleithner was clearly an amateur musician; however, he befiended Fran Schubert in181 6. It is this Schubert-Sonnleithner relationship, although not a primary fcus in the sketches, which promoted much of Schubert's early musical success. In fct, Chapter {Ɠ illustrates the events, fom Sonnleithner's perspective, as to how Schubert's Erlkonig frst came into publication. Many pople have helpd me bring this thesis to fuition, and, at this time, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to those who have ofered their assistance with this project. Hans Zbinden and his wif have been most helpfl to me with the D. t translation process; their overwhelming hospitality and knowledge of19 -Century German has been most rewarding and benefcial. The members of my committee, D. Albrecht, Mukuna, and Mr. Ferritto have been with me since the beginning of this D. v project, and I wish to extend my sincere thanks to them. My parents, Richard Vago D. and Susan Vago, deserve special thanks fr being there fr me and always supporting my various endeavors. addition, I wish to tank my brother Ian, his wif Shari, my I nephew Brian, and niece Abigail. Finally, thank you to Zoe, Sage and Zacharias.
