Abstract
CALADO, Mariana Carvalho. The pedagogical role of music criticism: Francine Benoît’s music reception in Diário de Lisboa. Faces de Eva. Estudos sobre a Mulher [online]. 2018, n.40, pp.77-95. ISSN 0874-6885.
The pedagogical role of music criticism: Francine Benoît’s music reception in Diário de Lisboa. Several authors (Ferreira, 1995; Schick, 1996; Carroll, 2009) state that music criticism has a role that can be qualified as pedagogical, since it must guide their readers for the reception and understanding of the musical works played at the concert. In this article I analyze some characteristics of music criticism written by Francine Benoît under this principle. To begin with, I will analyze several examples of reviews and comments made by Benoît concerning the works played at the concert (in particularly first auditions of works) as well as the musicians’ interpretation and technic qualities. The music criticism analyzed were published in Diário de Lisboa between 1924 and 1934, the first ten years of many during which she wrote in that newspaper.
