Abstract

The Music Critic between Role and Responsibilities. Musical criticism examines, interprets, appreciates the value and gives orientation to the artistic phenomenon using argumentation based on concepts. As a "judge" (gr. krités – κριτήσ), the critic use his power of discernment to evaluate both the composition and artistic act. This article presents concisely answers to four basic questions related to musical criticism: What is?; Whom is addressed to?; Which is the aim?; Who should write it?. An interdisciplinary perspective on music, analytical thinking, objectivity versus subjectivity, the ability to offer the whole perspective and at the same time to highlight the fine points – these are some of key indicators in the spectrum of values used in writing musical criticism.
