"This volumen precisely focuses on the complex world of music criticism during the first half of the 20th century, with particular emphasis on the relationship between music, politics and identity, above all (but not exclusively) regarding the international circumstances of the interwar decades. As a matter of fact, all over these fifty years music criticism -and music journalism as a whole- boldly strove to reinvent itself, in order to evaluate new repertoires and emerging aesthetic and stylistic trends in a context of ever-changing social and ideological frames."
