With a view to criticism of the patriarcal construct of English society, some attention is given to women’s access to music. An account of print is made with regards to its fundamental role in supporting amateur music making. Finally it is concluded that during the Interregnum, music as a commodity was aimed at a new ‘clientele’ which developed into a public market during the Restoration.
