description The term »salon music« has been generally defined as both a space of music making and as a type of music that is performed there. In the first instance (concerning space), it can be observed from three perspectives: as a distinguished space of music-making within the aristocratic or bourgeois house, as a socially exclusive event, and as a convivial gathering. Yet, the use and the interpretation of the notion »salon« is connected more with urban environments, although the aristocracy and the affluent citizens organized such gatherings on their summer estates as well. This paper deals with occasions when such music gatherings were organized on various occasions in Zagreb and its vicinity during the »long 19th century«. The second part is focused on such events within the family of the composer and aristocrat Dora Pejačević and in the houses of her friends where she participated as well, all in the context of musical life within the local environment. It also presents a series of speculations on further possible places of such events and suggests some starting points for future investigations.
