		The first great international exposition was held in London in 1851 under the direction of the Society of Arts; Prince Albert, consort of Queen Victoria, was at the time president of the society and took a personal interest in the preparation of the event.
		Most great expositions operated at deficits from that time on, but the promotion value of the displays and the value of the tourist trade brought by the events were considered worth the loss, which was usually made up by national and municipal government subsidies or by bond issues.
		In 1889 a fourth Exposition Universelle was held in Paris, the theme being the centenary of the French Revolution.

		She had showed the world that Paris was the queen city of expositions; that French engineering genius was second to none; and that, even without the official participation of other nations, the allurements and advantages of a world's fair in Paris were so great that few established or aspiring manufacturers could afford to stay away.
		And the exposition planning committees themselves came to feel more and more that the primary standard for success was the bottom line of the ledger book when the expositions closed their gates.

		I approach music at the Exposition Universelle with respect to its artistic and social contexts, its musical and literary contents (where appropriate), its presentation within the framework of the Exposition Universelle, its reception in France and abroad, and its impact on musical politics and discourses.
