These letters, written before the proclamation of the First Spanish Republic, talk about political events and ideology that are of interest to historians and cultural critics. Clavé addresses the impact of the Paris Commune (from March 18 to 28, 1871), and talks about the ideology of the Democratic-Republican Federalist Party.
Clavé received letters from politicians and intellectuals such as Víctor Balaguer, Pi i Maragall, Baltasar Saldoni, Pep Ventura, Abdó Terradas, Rius i Taulet, among others.
This section offers an interpretation of Clavé's correspondence and archive, and compiles our scholarship on nineteenth-century Catalan popular music, politics, and social movements.
