La critique musicale d'Émile Vuillermoz autour de la Première Guerre mondiale : musique apolitique ?
More informationDuring World War i, the French music critic Émile Vuillermoz upheld the idea that music should be autonomous and apolitical. Drawing on this aesthetic claim, he rejected musical nationalism and the union sacrée. Depending on the circumstances, his discourse could therefore be suitable for a patriotic, pacifist or anti-militarist position. The same aesthetic and political issues reappeared between 1920 and 1924 when he wrote in La Revue rhénane/Rheinische Blätter, a bilingual monthly propaganda magazine which, under the guise of stimulating Franco-Rhenan intellectual and artistic exchanges, sought to bring the Rhineland closer to France and thus undermine Germany's unity.
