The paper presents a picture of piano culture in Bratislava in the second half of the 18th century and especially after 1770. This period saw the hammer piano to make a remarkable advance and even win dominance in European musical culture. The research is based on the sources primarily of Bratislava provenance, which document piano culture among various social layers (aristocratic, bourgeois, church and school milieux) and resulting from the work of influential figures who contributed to its development (composers, teachers, organisers, patrons, musical dilettantes, instrument-builders). Given the broad scope of the question, a selected approach is taken in this study, focusing especially on the circumstances and conditions in which piano culture evolved in Bratislava: opportunities for the cultivation of piano playing, reports on keyboard instruments in the press, concerts and events, manufacture of instruments. A particular attention is devoted to Johann Nepomuk Erdődy and his role in piano culture. The findings and presentation of sources are confronted with the picture of Viennese piano culture, which, mediated by the activities of a variety of social layers, contributed in a specific manner to the profile of piano culture in Bratislava.

This paper elucidates the music education of women on the territory of Slovakia in the late of the 18th and early the 19th centuries, in the context of the development of piano art. The musical activity of women is traced, and the measure of their interest in piano art is estimated, using period testimonies and reflections on women’s artistic activities in writings of the time. A number of aspects of the professional activity of women are outlined, with a primary focus on teaching piano playing. The paper presents manuscripts of music textbooks from the first decades of the 19th century, whose authorship, ownership, or possible elaboration we ascribe to women.
