Francisco de Sá Noronha (1820-1881): um músico português no espaço atlântico
Author(s):
«[The author] points out to us [...] even if at times only implicitly, the place of musicians and music in nineteenth-century societies, their place in social and economic priorities and hierarchies, and their not always evident connection with other branches of artistic and cultural creation. And she manages to do all this with an engaging narrative, a clear and well-structured line of reasoning, and rigorous evidence, without compromising the readability of the writing. Moreover, she provides an iconographic support of impressive richness and diversity, allowing the reader direct visual contact, not only with the portraits of the characters and images of the places in the story but also with precious graphic documentation. In this book, Luísa Cymbron offers us a double testimony of maturity: her own, as a researcher and essayist of remarkable solidity, with a rare command of her field of study, and also that of a Portuguese—or even Luso-Brazilian—Musicology that is rigorous, thought-provoking, intelligent, informed, professional, and up-to-date, ready to take its rightful place in the international musicological context.» Rui Vieira Nery
