National identity, national music and popular music in the Italian Music Press during the long 19th century

Abstract

Discusses the notions of national identity, national music and popular music as they emerged in Italian music periodicals during the years 1840–1890, in relation to the process of Italy’s political unification and the dissemination of foreign operas such as French grands opéras in the years 1840–1870 and Wagner’s Musikdramen from 1871 on. Essays and articles by relevant critics and musicians, such as Abramo Basevi and Francesco D’Arcais are discussed. Articles by lesser known journalists such as Pietro Cominazzi and Mattia Cipollone are also taken into account. The use of words like “national” and “popular” is analysed when referring to Italian opera, to its history and to the operas by foreign composers.

“…Finally, the third component to consider is whether the musical genre could represent the image of a social group (ethnic or national) while inducing feelings of pride and identification in the consumer (Bodner & Bergman, 2017; Pacheco et al, 2017). This last criterion may not be directly associated with why people may or may not like certain music on a day-to-day basis, but some studies relate it to various elements of group representation and national pride (Pacheco, 2019; Pacheco et al, 2017; Tedesco, 2011).…”
