A. Les Mis is such a great show! Well, for political issues- the issue was what to do with the government. A lot of political turmoil occurred in France in the 18th century. Namely, the aristocracy was overthrown (including the monarchy- Louis XVI & Marie Antoinette) and then the government went through a few radical changes. A lot of blood was spilled, quite a few heads were severed, and eventually a Republic was set up. Les Mis, however, takes place during the 19th century (in 1815) during a subsequent French Revolution. Education in the 18th century was not standardized, was not given to the peasantry, and was not offered to the majority of female children.

A. For one thing, it was much more rigid. Your birth family determined your class and if you were born poor you were going to stay poor. You also had no right to "speak your mind" about things to those who where in a higher social position than you. For instance, if you were a maid in a wealthy house, you couldn't directly address the master or mistress of the house. In general terms, think more rigid, less personal freedom.

What 18th century piano pieces are there?

A. Shakespeare was from the late 16th/early 17th century, which is before the piano was even invented (which was around 1700). This doesn't mean that you cannot play keyboard music from Shakespeare's time; only that it will not be music written FOR the piano. I think you should look-out for a copy of the 'Fitzwilliam Virginal Book'. The 'virginals' was an early keyboard instrument very popular in Shakespeare's time and resembles (and sounds like) a small harpsichord. The 'Fitzwilliam Virginal Book' is a compilation of keyboard music from exactly the time that Shakespeare was alive and includes music by composers of the time such John Bull, William Byrd (who wrote a LOT of such music), Giles Farnaby, Orlando Gibbons, Thomas Tompkins and Jan… [cont.]
