Revista musical hispano-americana

Continuation of Revista musical (Bilbao: 1909 -193), founded by Carlos Gortázar (1864 -1926), who under the pseudonym Ignacio Zubialde is considered one of the best music critics of his time. Due to personal problems, he gave up his property to Augusto Barrado y Carroggio (1863-1946), a composer and writer from Seville, at that time music critic for the newspaper La época (1849-1936) and editor of the programmes of the Madrid Philharmonic Orchestra, so that he could edit and conduct it from this city, thus transferring the sphere of his influence to the capital, as the main exponent and faithful reflection of Spanish musical modernity in the 20th century, as referred to by Consuelo Carredano (2004). It will continue to appear with a monthly frequency (although it will publish bimonthly and even quarterly issues) in 24-page editions, generally, although its pagination will vary, with the new title - Hispanic-American Music Magazine - as a reflection of the interest in also transferring its dissemination and cultural and propaganda work to the Spanish-speaking countries overseas. The magazine thus began its second period from January 1914, maintaining the original line of its Bilbao predecessor and its first collaborators continued to participate in it, as well as Zubialde himself and other new ones who joined. Among the main ones are Rafael Altamira, Vicente Arregui, Mateo H. Barroso, Tomás Bretón, Conrado del Campo, Manuel Cendra, Eduardo López Chávarri, Henri Collet, Edoardo Dagnino, Óscar Esplá, Felipe Espino, Manuel de Falla, Antonio Fernández Bordas, Joaquín Fesser, Madame de Geus, Vicente María Gisbert, Juan González de Oliva, Rafal Mitjana, Joaquin Nin, Nemesio Otaño, Adolfo Salazar, Miguel Salvador, José Subirá, Joaquín Turina, Luis Villalba, Rogelio Villar, Francisco Vallador, Amadeo Vives and Antonio Zozaya, among other important musicologists and critics of the most varied trends in Spanish music and representatives of the different generations of musicians, who carry out their work in the broad cultural, intellectual and artistic context that will later become known as the Generation of 14, at a time of true cultural and musical effervescence, supported by the emergence of numerous philharmonic societies in the main Spanish cities. It will continue to offer articles on the history, technique and aesthetics of musical art in all its aspects, as well as information, chronicles and reviews of the Spanish and foreign musical movement, with correspondents in Barcelona, Coruña, Granada, Málaga, León, Oviedo, San Sebastián, Santander, Seville, Tarragona, Valencia and Zaragoza. As well as in Berlin, Buenos Aires, Brussels, Bordeaux, Havana, The Hague, London, Milan, Mexico, Naples, Paris, Rome and St. Petersburg. In addition to the current theatre and concert news, the biography sections, bibliography and reviews in foreign magazines, the series such as that of Felipe Pedrell on the Spanish popular songbook or the supplements with scores are outstanding. It will also insert engravings and photographs of portraits of artists, composers, stage paintings, concerts, etc.; as well as commercial advertising of products on the subject. At the end of 1915 the magazine became the property of the Unión Musical Española (formerly Casa Dotesio), starting its third period the following year under the direction of the composers and musicologists Rogelio Villar (1875-1937) and Adolfo Salazar (1890-1958), the former a staunch Wagnerian, He is considered one of the central figures in this stage of the Spanish musical renaissance, and the second one a standard-bearer of the avant-garde, a defender of Manuel de Falla and Ernesto Halffter, who will mark the musical tastes of his generation, thus combining the old with the new, the classic with the modern as a reflection of the sublime and the controversial. In 1917, it began its fourth period and at the end of this year the ownership of the magazine will be transferred to its directors, as indicated in its December issue, the last one of the collection of the Biblioteca Nacional de España. It seems that the magazine was able to continue publishing some more issues, despite the incompatible positions of its rulers, but no more than in the spring, when Salazar was appointed music critic of the new newspaper El sol (1918-1936).
