Petаr Bingulac's music criticism in Misao magazine: Evaluations of Serbian choral music and its performers

Abstract

This article is devoted to Petar Bingulac’s critiques of choral music published in the magazine Misao - a total of twenty-four reviews, most of which are on cho­ral music and its performers. I discuss Bingulac’s selected reviews from the point of view of critical-analytical interpretation. One of the goals is to determine the author’s dominant method when writing reviews and to assess his role in Serbian music criticism, taking into account the context in which the selected writings were created. I also compare his reviews of choral music performances with the views of other prominent critics.
