The instrumental music during the Old Regime has been the object of only partial or indirect study, because the greater importance of sacred music and opera in Portugal at this time has meant that the majority of musicological research into this period has been dedicated to these fields. The new models of sociability and the introduction of new cultural practices and consumerism (Weber, Leppert, Berg, Bermingham) had a deciding influence on the emergence of the modern age. This project proposes to identify and analyze the various contexts of the production of instrumental music between 1755 and 1834 with particular attention to  the problem of the uses and functions of instrumental music in different contexts and  the processes related to its performance and dissemination. We consider also the survey and cataloguing of a consistent amount of musical sources and the critical study of compositions representing the principal genres of the period in an anthology of keyboard music.
