Discover the music that Jane Austen played and loved. The Jane Austen Playlist, founded in 2019, is a historical music project featuring the music of the Austen family in digitized notations, companion recordings, and dramatically narrated performances. In addition to Jane's passion for writing, she also loved music. All of Jane's writing, including her letters and colorful characters, express music's role in her life. Accomplishment in music by young ladies in Regency England is discussed in the backdrops of the Netherfield drawing room, displayed in the Cole's music room, and delighted in at Sir John Middleton's gatherings.
