Music is ubiquitous today. But before 1877, you couldn't record it and play it back. How did music fit into people's lives before then? Did most people go to concerts? Did many people never hear any music?

Sorry, we don't allow throughout history questions. These tend to produce threads which are collections of trivia, not the in-depth discussions about a particular topic we're looking for. If you have a specific question about a region/culture and time period, please feel free to re-compose your question and submit it again. Alternatively, questions of this type can be directed to more appropriate subreddits, such as /r/history or /r/askhistory.
