Nell'«académie musicale de chant» di Parigi. Rossini al Théâtre-Italien nei "feuilletons" di Delécluze (1832-1863)
2018
The essay explores the reception of Rossini’s Italian operas in the writings of Étienne-Jean Delécluze. A leading figure in the Parisian cultural milieu of his time, Delécluze reviewed performances at the Théâtre Italien for the influential «Journal des débats» between 1832 and 1863. He developed an interpretative frame based on the idea that the Théâtre-Italien should function as as a “school of singing” for Paris, and identified Rossini’s operas as canonical texts that such a school should preserve and promote, in opposition to more recent trends originating from Italy. The breakdown of this cultural project, which had met with some significant public support, is probably linked to the st…

Crítica musical y pensamiento estético en la España de la Restauración: José María Esperanza y Sola (1834-1905)
2015
One of the most outstanding figures of music criticism in the Spanish Restoration was José María Esperanza y Sola (1834-1905), active for thirty years, from the late 1860s until the end of the century. During this period, Esperanza collaborated in different periodical publications and, particularly, “La Ilustración Española y Americana”, from whose pages he informed about the most important musical events celebrated in Madrid, judged according to a conservative aesthetic criterion, opposed to any novelty that infringe the traditional music system. On the basis of Esperanza´s thought, our study analyzes the different subjects that constitute his journalistic production.La crítica musical en …
¿Música o magia? La presentación de las ondas musicales de Maurice Martenot en España
2015
On 1928, the French musician Maurice Martenot presented at Paris Opera a new electronic musical instrument which he called musical waves. It had success like only a few and attracted the interest of the composers, Martenot strove to spread it with a initial tour that took it all around the world between 1931 and 1932. From the information given by the press –because there are not more references– this article aims to rebuild the presentation of the instrument in Spain all along 1932, to report about the reception by the review and to justify the mystery that involved the instrument because of its unknown electronic running and its performance only with the hands movement on the air.En 1928,…
The Italian “National Opera” Imagined from a Southern Slavic Viewpoint: Franjo Ks. Kuhač and Josip Mandić
2019
The national awakening after the revolutions of 1848, and the related phenomenon of new operatic grammar disseminated from Russia and Bohemia to other countries of Central Europe, were the main factors in promoting a quest of musical autonomy either in Slovenia or in Croatia. In the light of the Southern Slavic people revival, the criticisms on the Italian opera and the Wagnerian Musikdrama, written by the prominent musicologist Franjo Kuhač (1834-1911), and the composer Josip Mandić (1883-1959), reveal two parallel points of view, which have not been taken into account until today. The negative judgement of Kuhač on the last works of Verdi, influenced by Wagner formulae, and the praise of …

Double role of music criticism : a model of the inner structure of the funding of music
2008
Tarkoituksena on tarkastella, kuinka musiikkikritiikki vaikuttaa musiikin rahoitukseen. Aineistoni muodostuu eri osa-alueiden teksteistä. Tutkimukseni näkökulma perustuu Bourdieu´n, Beckerin ja Maussin määrittelemään kenttään ja sen dynamiikkaan. Kentän asiantuntijaosan muodostavat koulutus, kulttuuripolitiikka, ja muusikko (imagon saajan osana). Kaiken keskiössä on kriitikko, taiteellista tasoa evaluoimassa. Näin muodostuvassa sisäpiirissä voi liikkua päätöksiin vaikuttavaa tietoa. Tämä muodostaa rahoituksen yhden haaran. Toinen haara syntyy lipputuloista. Innovaattoreitta on tutkimusten mukaan 10-15% yleisöstä (, ja sillä saattaa olla sija sisäpiireissäkin), suurin osa yleisöä seuraa inno…
