description: This dissertation deals with the instrumental ensemble music either composed or employed at the imperial court in Vienna during the reign of the Emperor Leopold I. The main focus of the study concerns the particular uses of instrumental music within the various social and political functions at the court. Four principal performance venues are discussed: outdoor music, banquet music, music for use in conjunction with the liturgy, and chamber music. In each, special attention was given to both the mode of presentation and musical stylistic features in order to transmit symbols embodying values of special importance particular to each performance situation.
