| description | This thesis examines a series of case studies centred on Padre Giovanni Battista (Giambattista) Martini and the circle of musicians and music scholars which surrounded him in the middle of the eighteenth century. In the mid-twentieth century, social economists and sociologists recognized that there was a correlation between professional success and an individual’s circle of contacts. It is possible to apply the models which these economists and sociologists have created to explain such a correlation, and to use these models to evaluate the importance of social and professional contacts for eighteenth- century musicians in establishing themselves professionally. The thesis argues that Martini and his circle built their careers and reputations using networks and social contacts. In terms of networking as a skill, the thesis explores the codes of behaviour and expectations which provided a foundation for networking. The relationship between Padre Giambattista Martini and his associates and their relationships with each other is significant because these relationships demonstrate prototypical networking behaviour. |
