Abstract: This study chronicles and evaluates ways in which certain American piano manufacturers and merchants active between 1851 and 1914 promoted music in the United States. The most common forms of this promotion (herein referred to as music patronage) were the sponsorship of concerts and recitals, concert tours of piano virtuosos, and music contests, as well as the construction of concert spaces (i.e., music rooms, recital and concert halls) and music schools. Also important to this promotion was purveyors' work as performers, composers, and teachers, particularly as it provided an example for other Americans to follow. The study concludes with an appeal for consideration of this promotion as a significant, and heretofore unacknowledged, contribution to musical culture in the United States.
