This book focuses on musical writings in the daily and periodical
press in France during the nineteenth century. It covers the
criticism of a wide range of Western music, from c. 1580 to 1880,
explaining how composers such as Bach and Beethoven secured a
permanent place in the repertory. In particular, Dr Ellis considers
the music journalism of the Revue et Gazette musicale de Paris, the
single most important specialist periodical of the mid nineteenth
century, explaining how French music criticism was influenced by
aesthetic and philosophical movements. Dr Ellis analyses the
process of canon formation, the development of French musicology
and the increasing sensitivity of critics to questions of
performance practice. Chapters on new music examine the conflict,
inevitable in publishers' journals, between commercial interest and
aesthetic integrity.
