2 Bildung is an important nineteenth-century term that can be understood as education in the sense of self-cultivation and edification. The term was often associated with Hausmusik. For a discussion of the relation between Bildung and public concerts, however, see Notley, Margaret, ‘ Volksconcerte and Concept of Genre in Brahms’s Vienna’, in her Lateness and Brahms, AMS Studies in Music (New York and Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2007): 144168 Google Scholar.
