Italian term

composizioni da salotto

Italian to English Art/Literary Music la romanza italiana da salotto
Contesto: testi sulla romanza italiana da salotto

Tra il 1876 e 1877 l'editore Ricordi cura la pubblicazione di dieci sue nuove composizioni da salotto, tra le quali Mia sposa sarà la mia bandiera, composta a Londra e dedicata al baritono Antonio Cotogni, questa romanza è stata la più eseguita tra le compisizioni di Rotoli.

I've seen that the term romanza da salotto is used in English, but I'm not sure if it's the same case with composizioni da salotto.

Thank you for your help.

Thank you John and Phil. With your suggestions I've found that another term is "salon compositions" and I think that's what I'll use. Thanks!
