Abstract

PAZ, Ana Luísa Fernandes. The eternal apprentices of Euterpe: Women writing on music in circle(s) of sociability (1901-1930). Anál. Social [online]. 2018, n.228, pp.548-570. ISSN 0003-2573.  https://doi.org/10.31447/AS00032573.2018228.01.

This paper focuses on the published work of nine female writer-musicians on the topics of music and its education in Portugal between 1901 and 1930. This is a period marked by an extraordinary drive and demand for art(istic) education. However, the advent of these authors as experts in the music field invalidates the notion that writing could emerge only within the familiar boundaries of the “female educator”, a traditional role in which it became an extension of the teaching profession. Writer-musicians will be framed in the twofold movement that seems to both legitimize and support them: the establishment of a musical expertise and their specific forms of sociability.

Keywords : women's history; cultural history; 20th Century; musical expertise; sociability.
