Summary
The history of music criticism in Norway has yet to be written, though quotations from music critiques and reviews have been used in music history texts, and philosophical questions related to music criticism have been debated. Happily, there is a substantial amount of material available for research towards such a history, including newspapers, journals and scrapbooks (containing both concert programmes and concert reviews) and radio programmes. In what follows, I will put forward some historical observations that could serve as a background to a history of music criticism in Norway and perhaps encourage further research into this fascinating material.
