Lutando na periferia: o ensino musical em Lisboa (1860-1910)
Author(s):
"Considering the period between 1860 and the establishment of the Republic in 1910, this study includes a critical overview of music education before the foundation of the Conservatory, as well as the early phases of that institution [...]. On the other hand, it does not solely limit itself to the Conservatory but thoroughly analyzes other institutions and private spaces for music education. From the extensive collection of documentary data and their careful study and analysis, an extremely comprehensive and detailed picture of music education in the capital of a historically highly centralized country emerges for the first time. The relevance of the critical perspective provided by Joaquim Carmelo Rosa lies particularly in the fact that it does not confine itself to music education topics but, through them, provides us with an enlightening image of the usually less esteemed position that professional musicians occupied within Lisbon society and the limited level of expectations and demands they evoked from that same society, which at times seemed to regard amateur musical activity as superior to that of the professionals."
