Publishing techniques and music dissemination: authority and function of the music critic in the Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung at the turn of the nineteenth century
Le Temps des médias n° 31, Automne 2018, p. 12-26.
The improvement of the music printing technique achieved by Johann Gottlob Immanuel Breitkopf in Leipzig in 1754 participated in the flourishing of his music publishing activities. Half a century later, this led to the publication of the Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung (1798-1848). Based on the study of some musical examples, the article shows how this printing method contributed indirectly to shape critical discourse about music and to strengthen the critic’s authority.
